The problem was that wotlk was better than Warhammer. Warhammer made pvp a grind but less of a grind than WoW. But it was still a grind so it pissed pvpers off. Also the fact that every class had a ridiculous knockback was the stupidest idea a developer could ever have. Knockbacks are not fun or balanced in any game, ever. I just have never seen an instance where i said "Wow knockbacks are cool" Morberis: Warhammer actually did alot of things way better than Classic WoW.

They basically did what World of Warcraft did to the MMO genre, and did it to WoW. An improved PvP system, less forced gameplay and grinding, and a better community interface should make WarHammer the best game running in a year or two. Nothing earth shattering, but better systems and gameplay -- what more can we ask for.

I also think that people who know WoW so intimately that they hate it would make an excellent new MMO. Also, that's not what John was saying at all, chuckles.

Are you arguing that everyone should just make as good a World of Warcraft clone as possible? KG Walker – let me get this straight.
