I Prefer Warhammer to Warcraft because: Warhammer is a far bigger universe, it is far Darker and more Adult, and it has something which actually connects its Fantasy and 40k Univer (Daemons, they travel through time and fight in both eras).

Dont get me wrong though, I adore Warcraft and Warcraft 3 is one of my favorite, if not my favorite PC game and WoW is very good too. Still personally I like Warhammer better but Warcraft still rocks.

Warcraft, because Warhammer goes a LITTLE too far with their exaggeration of how strong things are.

warhammer is way way WAY better than warcraft.

just one of the races in warhammer has more background and lore than the "hoard" or "alliance" .

i think warhammer games are better(except for warhammer online, ive never played wow but that game has seriously dissapointed me). and the table top warhammer totally ANNIHILATES the table top warcraft.

If we're talking about everything then Warhammer wins by a land slide. Games only? Warcraft wins.

well warcraft is nothing but a blatant ripoff of warhammer seeing as it was going to be a warhammer game at first warhammer wins by a mile lore is 100000000x better empire > human Greenskins > orcs Lizardmen > trolls stumpys > dwarves vampire counts > undead to put it quite simply, warhammer is everything warcraft wishes it could be this also applys to the warhammer 40k vs starcraft argument

You do realize that the Warcraft universe is subsequently DERIVED from the warhammer universe?

I would emphasis more, but the parralells speak for themselves.

Warcraft is a rip off of warhammer.

Does anyone even play warhammer anymore? There was soo much hype, that, lord of the rings and aion so much hype for them being the "WoW Killer". Then when they came out there names just vanished.... Then when WoW leaked there NEXT Expansion... they were wiped off the map...With the exception of Lord of the rings that game is still going...because it has good lore in it. I respect lord of the rings for that.. Easily the 2nd best game. The challenge is can WoW handle the might and force of the new Star Wars MMO? That is the only threat to WoW I see, starwars has good history, characters and the lore is there that rivials or surpasses WoW's... Its one of those things where we gotta see the moment of truth.. Regardless if Starwars fails or not its still gonna be up there regardless.... look at SWG horrible game but has a huge fanbase.. but the question still remains can it take the crown of mmos... I say.. "Maybe".

If we're talking about warhammer the mmo, it is going downhill unfortunately. Having been one of the best MMO experiences i've played, having friends get into it and all, I can say I am very aghast to have not resubbed due to the severe population drop. There are a few veterans in the end-tiers, but when they're gone, the servers will be empty.

Considering WarCraft is a rip off of WarHammer, and Star craft is a rip off of WarHammer 40k, WarHammer is much better. Although, i Hope star craft 2 will be good.

atleast, i have heard tell of lawsuits they are however ripoffs, just look at the units and all taht warhammer invented greenskins, and gave form to the bugs from starship troopers (themz the 'nidz) and how the zerg look remarkably close to the 'nids

Who the hell cares about the warhammer MMO? It was crap to begin with, all the way back to the first time it got canned like 10 years ago. People don't play warhammer as an MMO, they play it as a table top mini game.

Warhammer is better setting. It's much more realized, fresh, detailed and unique. Has much more developed lore and world details. It's natural as it was developed as PnP RPG and wargame world and a lot more novels (and a lot better ones ) have been published set in WH world than in Warcraft one. Also...Warcraft was heavily inspired by Warhammer, so that's another win for Gamesworkshop crew. Original beats a knock-off 99% of the cases afterrall.

So

World:

Warhammer > Warcraft

Heroes:

Warhammer > Warcraft

Art:

Warhammer > Warcraft

Novels and comicbooks:

Warhammer > Warcraft

tabletop games:

Warhammer > Warcraft

pen and paper roleplaying games

Warhammer > Warcraft

videogames:

Warcraft > Warhammer

Depends what games :) electronic ones? Sure. But tabletop ones? Nope. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is far better than Warcraft D20 was, and even the worst games workshop tabletop wargame is still better than Warcraft boardgame (which was good actualy, just not GW good)

You guys realize that the Blizzard developers themselves said they took many ideas from Warhammer in creating the craft universes, right.... Anyway, I already posted here and said that I prefer Warcraft :P.

yeah the server i played warhammer age of reckoning on (dark crag) was pretty active, and they just had this MAJOR patch that i unfotuantly did not get to play ( my sub ran out and i never resubbed).
