    Don't know where you pulled that number from the last official number i've seen is 500k and all indications say it's been loseing players over the last few weeks.

    
     

    Link?  Or are you relying on XFire numbers?

     

    None of this crap matters until the free month is over. Personally, I cancelled, because I got to level 20, and found the game boring in its current incarnation, and also, I'm sorry, but I'm not shelling out 200 more dollars on ram/video card upgrades just so I can play Warhammer.

     

    As intensive as Age of Conan was on my computer before I cancelled it too, at least when I put the settings on low on that game, it actually did something to improve framerates. No such luck with WAR.

    
     

    If you really want to play I can get you 2gb ddr2 and a nice video card for about $70 that runs WAR fine :)

     

    I have 2gb ddr2, and a GeForce 8600 GT. Pretty much every game out, sans Crysis and Warhammer, runs fine on my setup. Sorry. I don't see me spending 600 dollars building a whole new setup just to play one game, even though the thought crossed my mind when I started playing Warhammer.

• • Is it worth getting? Is there a trial?

  • This game has its fair share of issues, but it's really a game you should try out yourself and see if you like it.

     

    To put it in perspective for you, I was thinking about how I played Age of Conan for 3 months, and then quit because there was nothing to do at level 80 for someone with my situation/gameplay style. I bought into the WAR hype/train, and its only 2-3 weeks into that game, and I'm bored with it, and thinking of seeing if Age of Conan doesn't suck yet or not.

     

    Oh, and, I have my buddy pass still. Not quite sure what to do with it.

• • ok game is a failure, but why?

  • This game has a serious lack of end game content, and what it does have has bugged timers, bugged boss battles, and the rewards arent even worth it.

     

    And if someone is about to say 'You have no idea what you're talking about'. Yes, I do. I played it from May 20th until August 20th, and I have a level 80 Priest of Mitra. Once I hit 80, I was pretty much bored and didnt log on much.

     

    I just can't understand how after 5 years, and a closed beta, some of these bugs can possibly even exist. I mean, I understand these games are complicated, but for the love of god, the amount of bugs in this game are just phenomenal. It's like every single time I went to do something that seemed like it might be fun, it had some bug stopping me from doing it. And they were usually introduced in patches.

     

    Honestly, I think the reason it failed, and most people cancelled, are the lies we were fed, and the lack of content. The lies probably would have been forgiveable if there was anything to do in end game, but there isn't. So, it's like, hey, I log on, and theres all these annoying bugs, on top of the fact that theres nothing to do. So, despite the fact this game has massive potential, there really isn't any value out of giving them 15 dollars, especially when they had 5 years and a closed beta to make this game not suck.
