[...] eyes are on Conan and Warhammer, MMO-wise, at the moment. While both are undeniably exciting, they’re still clinging onto the [...]

40K MMO would be a mix of Eve WoW and Daoc to become warhammer 40K online. I like it how WAR will be, and all those whove played WoW: Warhammer will be nothing like WoW, because Warhammer will be more close toDaoc game system than WoW, even the Graphics engine is the one which is used in Daoc.

(Idly, for the record, the 40K game I want to play is the Rogue Trader single-player RPG one. Like Star Trek, but with being a complete cunt…)

JohnP: Problem with that is that’s not how the Space Marines really recruit, so has canon issues.

(Though, frankly, the recruitment of Space Marines is a bit all over the place. And as it should be – there’s a 1000 of the chapters, and they’re all mad)

Put it like this: As much as I think a Necromunda MMO could be really neat – it’s a great world – a 40K game needs you to be a Space Marine, from the off.

It was the entire raison d’etre of Dark Age of Camelot, though.

When the game is built around a mechanic like that, it’ll get some use.

Also, WoW has all the oppertunities for raiding an enemy captial city and killing their king, and still we never really see anyone doing it?

Still, unless WAR starts offering some endgame PVE raiding, it won’t be competing with wow. There’s a lot of people who play wow, not to pvp or to quest, but to go with other people and slay a dragon, and become famous on the server for doing so.

It’s really hard to judge a game by compressed video, especially one that’s in beta and lacks key elements of polish like proper lighting. The majority of the features have been implemented but their primary reason for delay was to give all the elements a glossy shine. You really need to launch a COMPLETE and POLISHED MMO when your main competition is World of Warcraft.

As for playing with idiots, I suggest joining one of the RP versions of their Open or Core servers (depending on your tastes for PvP). Role-play and mature gameplay in general are highly encouraged on these servers and you can report morons for abuse.
