[QUOTE="Veterngamer"] You can have fun in WoW playing Solo..... not so much with WAR, it seems..... so if you like playing your MMO's solo (most of the time) I'd steer clear of WAR
I really like the game, and have only scratched the surface of the game thus far. But it seems like the ENTIRE WORLD is made up of different instanced zones... So as I understand it, you'll never encounter enemy forces in your questing zones.... the only time you encounter them is in Realm vs Realm PvP....
I'm not really happy about that game design choice.... I like WoW's approach better.... even if it means getting ganked. But the world of WAR definately feels more alive than WoW. The NPC's have more personality, but then again, could they have any less personality than in WoW? Not really right!?
I'm also really confused atm how the crafting works in WAR.... but my 1st char is still lvl 6, so I'm still noobin' it oldskool style.
Anyway, WAR is at least the 2nd best MMO i've ever played.

I totally disagree with everything you just said except the crafting part. Crafting is a joke. Let me just say you are making the big mistake of comparing this directly with wow, they are totally different games, if you play this expecting a wow like experience you really will come away with a bad impression of WAR.
PvP is open world. Just not at the start. No area in WAR is instanced. Some PQ are open to both sides so you end up in a big fight with the opposite faction to complete it. You ofetn have to venture into the other sides areas to complete quests, often taking you right outside their camps. Then ofc you have the big open RvR areas on the game map. This game is designed for PvP, if you want a PvE game like WoW you really should not be playing WAR.
Alsoi i'd like to add, at no point other than on one occasion have i joined a group, i play solo, i take battlefield objectives solo and i quest solo. Ofc i play scenarios in a group.
I get the feeling you havn't played WAR very long and ar still in the first tier area's.
Your right.... I jumped the gun a bit on somethings I said..... but saying you can't compare the game to WoW is absurd... they are both Fantasy MMO's, if we can't compare them to each other, then what can we compare them to?
I've only been playing a couple of days.... and am only lvl 7, I'm having fun with it, but still have lots to learn about the ins & outs of the game.
Though I am wondering, whats the point of all this PvP.... what difference does it make if The Order or Destruction controls an area? One side gets a few % higher XP or Renown from kills? WHOOPIE!?
I hope there are more sever consequences to losing areas and bigger rewards than that. Otherwise I can see myself going back to WoW pretty quickly.
