Warhammer Online

Here are my thoughts on the Good/Bad/Ugly of WHO.

Well it has been a few weeks since the release and here are my thoughts.

Pros:
1. The RvR action has flatout crushed WOW. Love this aspect and I am not a big PVP person. If this is your ticket, you will love this. Why?
- The are multiple zones with different layouts in each zone. Unlike WOW which has like 4 total?
- In RvR, if you hop in as a level 2, against level 10s, while you don't get the skills or spells of those levels, you do get HP up to a level 8, for example.
- The teams are balance pop-wise
- Fast paced. So far the Tier 1/2/3 ones I have been, you don't need a mount to ride into the action because you can run right in a quick jaunt.
- You get XP participating in the RvRs. YEP! The more you battle, the more XP. Heck, you can level up in PVP without having to run Single-Player.
- Drops come off dead players. Like pots, and gear
2. Single player aspects
- Similar quest type environment but when you go to your map, it give you a general area in which to run each quest. VERY helpful so you almost don't need a Thottbot like WOW.
- Hardly ever have to worry about a multi-mob pull. So you can pick off 1 at a time.
- Respawns are in just one place. When you revive, it puts you at the closest Warcamp, or town you control, to where you died. Even if you never made it the spot.
- Line of Sight - is true. If you can't see your target, or they can't see you, you can't attack it. Gotta move.
- Public Quests. You can party up with people doing public quests and accumulate XP, Infamy, and the chaprters change in each zone, and multiple PQs in each zone also.
- Layout editor - you can modify your UI to almost however you want to lay it out. Sweet.

Cons
1. They need to work on the drops and make more BOP's. Almost everything right now is BOE. SO a lot of people hit NEED when u really need it. Sucks!
2. Auctioning needs work. Seriously needs work. I believe I hear they are retooling it.
3. Bugs every now and then. But WOW was the same way early on.
4. Load and Exit times need polishing. WAY too long!
