Customer Reviews
Best MMO in years!
Warhammer Online is a great game. It's only been out for a short time now and already has over 1 million subscribers. The RvR (or Realm versus Realm) experience take player versus player combat to a new level. There's a game here for everyone, whether you like to play alone, with groups against the game or with groups against other people.
They are already about to release several new classes and we're not even 2-months into release.
I already bought a 6-month subscription and I know that's only the start.

At least they patch it often....
It's not a very good game, the combat isn't fluid and it's boring to level (yes, WoW leveling is 100x more fun....)

Great, New Aspects for this genre
This game is designed well enough to capture your attention for many hours. The new aspects (tome, public quests, group friendliness, scenario, pvp, and more) introduced into the MMO scene are refreshing and will keep your attention away from the grind while still gaining considerable amounts of experience. If you are tired of your current MMO, this game is qualified to spend the money on.

Boring, boring, boring
This game has so many flaws - I do not know where to start. Bad graphic, very poor sound, awful animation. However, if you are one of those who believes the only important thing in MMORPG is gameplay - there is a chance you can enjoy WAR for may be 12-15 levels (and there are 40 PvE and 80 PvP levels there). There are people who can stand the tedious repetitive grind for up to level 31. Well, it is your call whether you want to throw your money to check out if you are one of them.
If you look at all these positive reviews here - they all are done in the first couple of days after reviewers begin to play. Ask them if they renew subscriptions. You would be surprised how many quitted before free month was gone.
Cannot recommend this game to any one. Especially not to beginners.

I honestly hate this game
I was really looking forward to this game but it has turned out to be a game that I really really hate. Everyone keeps saying give it time, just wait, they will fix the issue. BAH! Here is my beef...
I am a PVE person, I don't really enjoy RVR or PVP. PVE content is shallow at best. The Public Quests (PQ) are fun IF you can find enough people to play. Most of the time, only the first PQ has anyone and the rest are empty. So much for one of the best ideas of the game. There really isn't enough PVE action to justify spending [...] bucks a month trying to grind out a level. Want to play solo, not this game. You HAVE to RVR which means you are thrown into a group of strangers who couldn't play their class to save their sorry little lives.
RVR.. What a joke. Lv 1 characters are thrown in with lv 10s. Can you say not a chance. The same issues as you level up, characters 10 levels higher than you will beat the snot out of you. The healers will only stay alive is they have a wall of tanks to protect them but wait... No wall of tanks. Most people in this game care little about team work and couldn't work together to make toast. Healers try to DPS, another joke. Casters drop very very quickly. Not to mention, your own spells hurt you. What a horrible stupid idea. As if you weren't easy enough to kill, now you can do your enimies a favor and blow yourself up while trying to DPS. Did I mention what a STUPID idea?
I tried (I really really tried) this game for 2 months but I just have to walk away. It had great potential but only people who want to beat on other people will find any enjoyment in this game. Anyone else who wants depth, look elsewhere. (I know there isn't much out there at this time)
This is the only game where I had to log out after 30 minutes of RVR because of frustration and anger. I am a long time MMORPG gamer (EQ, EQ2, WOW, Vanguard, etc) and have enjoyed many years of fun games but this one truely will give me an ulcer if I continue to force myself to play it. You will find rabid fans of warhammer who will die trying to protect its honor, but when 5 of my friends who started the same day I did all left the game with the same issues, there is something seriously wrong. This is one of the few games and only MMORPG that I truly hate. Sorry warhammer, I will spend my money elsewhere.
On a side note, you would think mythic would know something is wrong when their paying customers are fleeing the game. The population levels are so low on the servers that they are offering free transfers to get people on the same servers.
