Questing/Grinding is too slow in WAR!

— thegreenskin.com — After writing my “boo hoo” post about being ultra-casual yesterday, I asked the wife if I could spend the night playing WAR (after dinner and a walking the dog together). She was happy to oblige as she had her own things to do. I ended ... (more) Questing/Grinding is too slow in WAR!

Tug of WAR

— tobolds.blogspot.com — On November 13 me and many other MMORPG players will have to make a decision: Do we continue to play Warhammer Online, or do we go back to World of Warcraft and the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion? So somewhere in my head there is a little ... (more) Tug of WAR

A community analysis of Warhammer Online
Massively — ... with a pretty clear census, saying it's still too early to decide. Granted there is mention that often times playing Warhammer Online can feel a bit lonely, even when people are around. The article attributes this to the fact that grouping is so very easy in WAR that nobody really has to talk to one another. We're inclined to agree, if you're not in a guild things can get a tad lonely. That said, the community in the game is definitely strong and given a few months...   Read | Permalink | Email this |  ...

The Sound of Silence
Blog Posts from "WAAAGH!" - Gameriot.com — ... they have to stoop to general chat to get together. Maybe guilds are incredibly insular right now. I don’t get it. I miss a faction-wide chat channel. It’d be great if, at all times, we could have the option of tuning into Altdorf general chat, or a way to quickly spread the word if reinforcements were needed in certain zones. I miss people being weird and goofy and social as they quested in the zones. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone in wondering all this. This lack ...

Unwit
The Cesspit. - Home of the fool (on a hill) — How to unlearn all the lessons. If you try WAR alone, it'll feel lonelier than some other MMOs. grouping requires less communication, which enhances play time but lessens bonding or memory of other players. Because WAR gives you multiple paths to level your characters, there's no urgency to find someone you can rely on for a specific task The path to glory is still heavily shaped by the game design, but it makes players feel like they have ...

Online World Atlas: Wizard101-- Pt. 3, Conclusion
Worlds In Motion — ... But in Wizard101 there is absolutely none of that. I'll make no secret that recently I've been playing Warhammer Online, another world that I recently read criticism of being a "lonely" world, but there (admittedly a world very much for adults) I was, thanks to innovations including public quests -- having a brilliant old time fighting alongside other players to get things done -- with a lot of chatter about how do do the next quest or beat the next bad guy. Wizard101 is in comparison an entirely silent world, full of players all acting to solve their ...
