Not a WOW clone...not necessarily a good thing
I think the last one is the most dissapointing thing about WAR. Call me old fashioned, but I like on MMORPGs being able to chit chat online with people while I play. I like meeting random people to do an instance/scenario with that was bs and have fun while doing the dirty work. The WAR community is missing that in a major way. Even on a highly populated server, there was next to no interaction. I know I wasn't alone either as a few of the people I did manage to chat with said the same things. On top of that, there's not even a friends list to add those people I met to. Add in no official forums, and honestly, even making a guild is just inviting random people in and hope it works out. The lack of community ruins the game, at least for me.
Outside of the lack of community though, it does have some good points. The PQs are something I haven't experienced before(I've only played WoW, CoH, and SWG). I believe DAoC had those, but never played it, so don't know how it worked. In WAR though, they work great. RvR is also very entertaining. Of course, most everyone seems to play Chaos so its a little unbalanced. As an example, I've yet to have a Phoenix Gate scenario pop, and that's only the 12+ scenario.
One other issue I have, the graphics are not all that, yet I still have lag when I have all my settings on high. Turn the settings down you say....why?? My system should more than handle this. A quad core with 4mb of ram and an NVidia 8800 should not have problems with this game, yet the lag is very noticeable. Its not a game killer, more like an annoyance. This is on top of some of the broken quest bugs I've experienced, such as the npc that gives it not giving you the option to turn it in even though he is who you turn it into, happened a few times.
All in all, hey, its a game just starting. If your jumping in with some people, you should have some fun. If your the loner type, you should have some fun. If you like meeting random new people, well, this isn't the place. If you like to group and instance, probably stay away too. If you want some good old fashioned pvp though, definetly check this out.
