I'm quitting. Had a great time on the RP server RPíng the war and warhammer stuff... but not enough people around for quick PvP battles (ie you had to wait 30 to 90+ minutes for a scenario to launch) Often there was one open RVR group in each level zone, joining that and taking keeps and the like was good fun, but you had to hunt it down since there grouping system bugged at times and would not locate them
Also public quests were mostly a no go because you need a lot of people there. That was a real disappointment since the system is fun. Hung out with a Stount 'N Sturdy branch there for the time that I was around, they were great at least!
Also tried the normal servers and they were nice and busy, but with the trial people (I hope that was the reason) around now a lot of silly named kids, screamers about how much better WOW is and general scumbags (standing around in PVP battles, soloíng public quest ect) around.
What WAR really needs is a one server system with instances ala Guild Wars. Their gameplay is like it anyway so it would have been good if they had taken advantage of that. Their strong points, PvP and Public Quests would shine then! Missed opportunity.
I think I'll reactivate during a holiday or so and give the normal/core servers another go, since the PvP is really good fun. The PvE can't hold a candle to LOTRO though, even now that book 7 isn't to impressive gameplay wise, its still way better then WAR's PvE offerings.
Gamers are young at heart and creative thinkers. Shall we play a game?
