You know what I hate? World of Warcraft. Because I'm 10 and can't afford it. Waaaaaaahhh!

Seriously though, there's no reason events in WoW have to play much of a role in Warcraft IV. In WoW you can kill everyone from the Warcraft III. It's an MMO for God's sake. They put heroes up there so that players can kill them and get gear.

I hate to sound extremely condescending but I'm not even going to read those links. I know (for a fact) that PC piracy is much larger than console piracy in America. Could be different in other countries, but I have a feeling PC piracy is the most prevalent. GodLovesDead

Facts. Feeling? I feel like pots shouldn't be calling kettles black.

At this point in time it looks like I'll be canceling my WoW account for WAR. It's freakin' awesome and I'm only rank 11. I know a lot of people claim that the latest "amazing rpg" (*cough*ageofconan*cough*) doesn't have grind when it blatantly does, but seriously, there is no grind in WAR. The grind that is there is so fun and painless you don't even notice it. You can fill a third of your Influence bar in the time it takes to do a solo Burning Crusade quest in WoW, and unlike the Burning Crusade, the quests are incredibly fun. It reeks of personality as well, something WoW really fails with. I don't know how Blizzard ripped off so many of Warhammer's races and made them so boring, but they did.

Oh, and I got my first taste of RvR last night.

HOLY KOI CARP, WAS IT GOOD.

Blizzard didn't exactly rip off the races from Warhammer. There are plenty of "Orcs" in fantasty that they could have pulled from. Hell, D&D had orcs (and a monstrous god named "Orcus") long before either. And of course, Tolkien had the Orcs as well, before any of these...

Obviously those races existed long before Warhammer, but they never really had any specific image. In literature it's pretty much up to the reader how everything looks. There just happens to be a startling similarity between Warhammer races and Warcraft races. This was pretty obvious when Warhammer Online was first shown and every Warcraft fanboy thought the designs ripped of Warcraft. When you bring Starcraft into the matter it's pretty obvious Blizzard get a lot of their ideas and designs from Games Workshop, only they suck all of the personality and character out of them in the process.

And Games Workshop got a lot of their ideas from Heinlein. It's pretty worthless arguing about which company has the most original ideas when they all borrow things from other people.

It's the equivalent of stealing if not worse.. wow.. gtfo...

It's not worse, just more wide spread.

As I said in another thread, I'm looking forward to it, but I can see some things that indicate I'll be spending a lot of time modding before I start playing.

I see many examples showing line infantry in ranks deeper than four. Apart from French shock columns (but these were outside the timeframe of the game), this was never practiced by any contintental army as in narrowed frontage, making you easier to flank, and it lowered the number of muskets firing in each volley.bogaty

That seems a little nit picky to me. You can set the ranks in the TW series, and so could a commander in real life (assuming he wanted to, for some reason.) However, I do understand the criticism if you're meaning that the game may be rewarding players for stacking groups in fat ranks.
