So remember....do not discuss anything or you just have yourself to blame if kicked.

Yeah we don't want pictures tho, WE JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ITS ANY GOOD!!!!!

Surely a comment to say omg i've not put this down for 4 weeks since i got the beta wouldn't be too much to ask.

Actually that would breach it,commenting on quality or gameplay,even personnal views is not permitted.

As i said really really strict

Here's a few ingame previews, for those who are still waiting for a BETA:

• htØtp://wwØw.warhammeronline.com/english/media/podcast/ - Quite informative from the Warhammer Online Staff.
• htØtp://wwØw.youtube.com/watch?v=S3WjAm3dzaI - Gameplay View Report, a few informations too, quite a good movie (in english even though gameswelt.de has made the report movie).
• htØtp://wwØw.warhammeronline.dk/?page=news&id=3522 - Quite a nice preview of the game features.
• htØtp://war.curse.com/videos/details/518/ - Showing 2 mages pwning a bunch of melee'ers with AoE from a clifftop.

(Im sorry, I cant post URL's as I havent posted 5 posts yet, so just copy paste and remove the Ø's from the links).

There's a bunch of videos out there - I just chose my favourites to share with you.

My opinion:
I really think Warhammer Online will be the best alternative for WoW there is. It looks really cool, and with great improvements. A few thinks I dont like so far is the cinematics (htØtp://wwØw.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ7x9ieXr5M). It really looks like a bummer compared to the WoW cinematics - even the 3 year old one.

I've removed the Ø's for you

Nice post I've seen a couple of the vids already. Really looking forward to this game, keeping an eye on the progress and hoping I get my beta key when they beta starts back up in Dec

You have to sign in to the website at Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning with your beta account details.

My only concern about Warhammer is it looks very similar to WOW and I stopped playing that because I could not commit the hours of gameplay required.

I am going to give Conan a whizz to see how that goes but keep an eye on WHO.

The graphics on who dont look too impressive now after seeing AOC.

But, does it avoid the horrendous 25Gb download??

[kopite]

What horendous download?

The Install for AOC is quite large but the updates so far have only been a couple of hundred meg which from my time on wow seems about right.

The thing is Warhammer online doesnt look much different to wow which has been out for nearly 4 years now. Other game genre`s have improved in graphics by a huge amount in that time surely you`d think that a new MMO coming out now would want to be competing graphically with games coming out at the same and not mimmicking the graphics of a 4 yr old game.

Dont get me wrong Warhammer online has some amazing ideas that could potentially change the way MMO games are made from now on its just a shame that the way it looks didnt seem to be high on the list.

While the graphics in WAR do have a certain similarity to WOW the stylisation is very definitely Games Workshop. On top of that they've been massively improved for the current patch, and have been steadily improving over the last couple of months.

What you have to bear in mind also is that WAR is still far from completed - by my estimation you're looking at around 4-5 months before it sees the light of day. They're working on the engine and other core aspects of the game and I'd expect to see the shiny shiny stuff added around public beta.

anyone beta testing the eu version, wisper crom or alkork in game

I remeber when I was in the LoTR online BETA. I wasn't even allowed to tell people I was in it!
