OK, so I have played in the preview and the beta of Warhammer, I was both impressed and disappointed, I was impressed at how polished the game felt, I was disappointed that my enthusiasm for it wasn’t as high as I expected. But I doubt this is Warhammers fault, I feel an over all dislike for MMO’s lately.
So Tuesday comes around and we are finally ready to start are characters with their pre-order head start, and I create a char and get to playing, I am level 5 by the time Ophilye decides to join in, after putting down her book long enough to notice I am not actually just sitting their staring at the wall, I am indeed playing the game.
She gives me the look like, WTF?! Level without me?! and I quickly divert my eyes away and say “I am RvRing” in an attempt to sound like I wouldn’t even begin to have the nerve to level without her. But by the time she is level 3 I am now level 7, because in Warhammer you can level fairly fast just doing RvR. I decide I should cut my losses and log off for the night and let her catch up.
What was I saying again? Ohh yes, so I really enjoy the fact that you do not have to grind to level in Warhammer, you can easily PvP all the way to Cap, or if you prefer mix it up and do PQ (Public Quests) and RvR to make cap, but that isn’t to say questing isn’t fun, a lot of the questing is about killing someone and spiking their head on a spear, there so far hasn’t been a ton of “kill 50 bunnies of doom” quests.
I guess what I am trying to say is unlike AoC, after the beta I am still enjoying the game, sure there are a few bugs still there but nothing that causes me much concern. With the way they have designed the game I feel no need to return to WoW even with the expansion coming out and I don’t know if I am sad or relieved about that.
