Same genre as WoW certainly... however significantly different in several ways.

I know a few people that are in the Beta-test, and they're actually ALL (surprisingly?) looking forward to Warhammer Online right now. Apparently the PvP-focused Conan really isn't cutting it at the moment, and there are a few 'game breaking' issues that are seemingly not being looked at by the developers (i.e. the role of stunlocking in PvP combat) Everyone I know that quit WoW for the AoC/WAR hype are all turning around and saying "Well hey, if AoC and WAR carry on heading towards disaster... then I'm going to play WoW again when WoTLK comes out ".

And I think that sums it up as far as MMORPG's go. It's sad, I really have high hopes for Conan and Warhammer Online. Really want something different. But the reality of the situation is that in 2008 the new World of Warcraft expansion will be the game worth putting your money on. AoC seems to be doing a lot of things wrong, and if WAR is shelved anymore, it'll become the next Duke Nukem Forever- with an expected release date sometime in the next millennium.

I'm still warring with myself about whether or not to get this. I like the Conan universe, and the only MMO I'm really interested in afterwards is WH40K online.

I suppose it really isn't all that much money. I haven't been playing MMO's beyond betas and trials anyway.

The game becomes moderately better once you hit level 40 and dont have too walk everywhere you go. But the game is only really that great once you hit level 70 then theres pretty much endless things too do and tons of money too be made.But i have stopped playing WoW it just got too repetitive I may renew my subscription when the expansion comes out though.

I'm not one for MMORPG. The only RPG l liked was Stalker. However the Warhammer 40000 sounds like it could be good. I got a small bit of it in my PC Gamer mag.

"As the fantasy Warhammer MMORPG nears compleation, the first news breaks on its sci-fi cousin. So far we have just the bare facts. The barest of which is, it will be an MMORPG, rather than a massively multiplayer FPS as some had hoped. The combat system will be oriented arpound cover, suppressive fire and flanking, and firefights will take place on a larger scale than those planned for warhammer:Age of Reckoning. "The term 'Battleground' takes on an entirely different meaning," Vigil Games General Manager David Adams says, slyly implying they plan to outdo World of Warcraft's largest PvP arenas. Players can (but don't have to) form squads, the basic infantry fighting unit of the tabletop game. Creative director Joe Madureria claims that "All of the races important to Warhammer 40,000 lore ( Not to mention the fans) will be represented." That's extremely encouraging, considering how well loved the oft-omitted Tyranids are by Warhammer fans. "We want each and every race to have weight in the world," he continues," and feel distinct." Players will get to explore cities, alien temples, chaos shrines, deserted battlefields (er, woo?), mysterious ruins, ancient structures, and here's the cool one "drifting hulks in space". Space hulks, we call those. When it comes to your own character, Vigil are particulary confident- cocky, even. Joe promises "Tons of stuff hanging off your character, weapons, scrolls... we are going to have going to have the coolest looking characters of any MMO, ever. Once we begin releasing images, feel free to call me on that."(Cocky cunt-The Guardsman) Don't worry we will".
Theres no screen shots yet just concept art. I'd thought l'd put it in here as there is'nt really much on it to warrent its own thread. Publisher is THQ, Developer Vigil Games and ETA Summer 2009.

If this game looks any good l might be willing to part cash for it and batter bods as a Space Marine!

Tip garnered from several posts in AoC threads:

Pre-order from BestBuy for the war rhino mount or from Gamestop/EBGames for the war mammoth. Rhino attacks gates, mammoth attacks walls, both can attack other players. You must wait until you are the appropriate level to use both. These will be available to players who didn't pre-order, but not for free.

So far, I don't know if these codes may be used multiple times for different characters or not.
