any word on content or anything? When this comes I can definitively confirm I will be leaving DAOC for as long as it takes to have a look at the new game.

So any news?

Are Skaven going to be one of the races?

Will Vamps be Oped.....

I suggest you check the Warhammer Online section in the forum for information.

I'll be playing daoc until the point i'm the last one on the cluster and I have to x-realm and play against myself.

Life is to short to spend another 3 years starting a new mmorpg from scratch.

really think WAR will be the opener for DAOC's deathblow,if they get the RVR good enough in it

There's quite a lot of info collected at this site.

A lot of people are saying that the gameplay won't suit 8v8 DaoC players because Mythic are designing this as a zerg gamer's game, but ofc they designed DaoC as a seige warfare game and that doesn't stop us, so who knows...

AFAIK Mythic will probably do a dual subscription thing like Sony, where if you subscribe to WAR you can get a DAoC sub for 3 euros more or something I'd guess, so for 15 euros you maybe get DAoC + WAR sub or 12 euros just for WAR sub, might actually increase DAoC subs tbh.

when i look at the numbers wich DAOC lost till i started the game,its clear its dying slow but it is ,there is no young blood in the game most of the gamers are the long hard core of it.

Well, from what I gather from the first reviews WAR will appeal very much more to games from WOW than DAOC. And if Mythic doesn't water it down, then skill will be one of the crucial things to have (aka no /face /stick /assist).

The question is as WAR is the next biggish thing on the block will Mythic (and GOA) be overwhelmed by their own success and kill WAR faster than you can say Beeblebrox?
Imagine just 2% of WOW players to start playing WAR...
That's more than the average numbers of players in DAOC.

I still remember the flaming in direction of Blizzard for (mis)handling the servers at start.

Granted, Mythic will never be able to bring out that much hype in the gamer community so it just might work.

Personally, I won't play WAR. GFX is nice, but Mythic will never get the feeling for the Warhammer world even slightly right - after all they don't want to make their game 18+/21+.

..and quite possibly (it's in at the moment) enemy collision detection, which will make for a very different experience.
