Open RvR is great but it just feels like theres not enough content here.

Like any mmo, WAR had huge potential. It came in and used alot of it, but it feels like there just isnt enough to do here. The open rvr is great fun, especially when u have huge hordes of players on both sides. And with new open rvr rewards, more people have started drawing away from the scenarios and into the open rvr. This doesnt mean the scenarios arent any fun, in fact, they are much better than wows bgs due to more intense combat and take no more than 15 minutes, making them much less of a drag then wow bgs. Also, theres much to be said about keep sieges, which allow groups of players to attack a fortified castle whether the enemy decides to defend or not.The public quests bring some life to the pve as well.

After saying all of this,you probably wonder how there could be anything bad right? NO. Even with the public quests, the pve is extremely dull. Every time i do a quest i think "didnt i just do this 5 minutes ago?" The crafting skills have no interesting reason to do them, as well as being pretty useless. The biggest problem though is in the huge inbalance of players on each side. Destruction almost always outnumbers order which is a big problem for the open rvr. Lastly the game just feels rather empty and simple. I dont find myself pondering what to do next as there really isnt much to do but rvr.

That being said WAR is a great game to play through and gives a much different feel than wow. but if u have no care for pvp, this game is definitely not worth it. however, if ur big on it and dont mind just doing it, this may be a good game for you.

    Awesome game but worrying population imbalance.

    I personally haven't had so much fun levelling in a game, ever. There's simply never a dull moment. There's your usual questing/exploration, with a lot of variation in both. Then there's Scenarios you can join with a cli... Read Full Review
