The white lion pet was soooooo derpy when I played one (for about an hour), it made me year for the buggy-ass bonedancer pets.

Those guys were the best. Sometimes if you followed them they would lead you to a stealther 3 zones away.  why so serious?

That's giving them too much credit, I'm betting they honestly didn't know how to fix half the shit they used that excuse for, because clown shoes company.

The most dreaded thing to hear that wasn't Ukobat-related in Darkness Falls was the group's bonedancer saying, "Hey, where's my pet?"

Hah, yeah. I forgot about that quote. WAR was such a delicious source of schadenfreude.

Shame they weren't smart enough to turn the first battlefield into a class-based all PvP MOBA with diablo-esque loot that was all cosmetic and levels akin to passive gems.

You're literally the only person I've heard of that played longer than the free month.

I played with a solid group.  We had a great time and melted some faces.  Lacking that, I never would have played longer than a month.  For me MMO's are mostly about the people.  I've gone on record as saying that most MMO's are little more than a chat room with a 3D interface.

It's funny to read this stuff now.  When WAR was in beta, the people on this forum were surprisingly positive about it.

I was one of those positive people until Mythic made a whole bunch of changes late in beta that were bad for the game. I believe at the time it even generated a thread here that Mark got involved in that then spiralled out of control. Anyway, nostalgia makes me sad to see them go but reality is they've been dead as a studio for a long time and MMORPG PvP of the style some of us like is not really popular and fuck it get off my lawn I have to watch House of Cards.

I didn't mind the leveling cause you just go RvR battleground queue over and over - it was actually fun when the map didn't suck.
But once they put you in those craptastic map like Serpent's Passage and Tor Anroc where it's melee getting knocked into lava 75% of the time - I decided I've had enough.
Tried rerolling ranged class but by that time desire to play is dead.
I tried the end game raiding PVE - it was awful.
Tried the end game capital World RvR - got to final zone but no Order showed to challenge, hence points won't hit certain mark to trigger invasion.
Hahaha. Fuckno.

The crowning achievement of my dorfy healbot was the match in Tor Anroc where he managed to punt five dudes into the lava.

My favorite Mythic moment was when they finally were forced to admit that your contribution for group events was determined randomly when the event popped.  What you did during the event had absolutely no impact on your award when it was completed.

That was hilarious. I remember around the time the game first came out, my buddies were doing a public quest and I was sort of close by. So I high-tailed it over to their area, while I can see the bosses health go down on my room-mate's screen, making a final dash to get into the area hoping to tag the boss and maybe score anything at all.....only to score 1st over all in contribution points. That's when we clued in, oh yeah, 3 Star Talent, 5 Star drive.

I came to this very forum as a WAR fanboy. And quite fittingly it was the MMO to kill my MMO drive. Such high expectations... Me and a buddy spent a weekend travelling to be able to get a preview on the game and also got beta keys. Man, did that beta wear out fast. Never bought the game then. Still LOVE the class designs and I again had quite high expectations when they tried to do that MOBA spin off. I have no idea how they managed to take the best parts of WAR, the PvP and pure class designs and FUCK UP SO BADLY there, too... Good riddance.

If you had high expectations of this game in the first place, you were broken. At best it was going to be a fun game.. maybe. Which it was for a few levels. I was in the late alpha or early beta and it was pretty awful back then.

I'm not sure why you think the Warhammer license is worth much; WHFB is much less popular than 40k (last rumor I heard put WHFB at only 9% of GW's revenue, outsold by a single 40k army), itself an exclusive hobby of neckbeards. D&D, LotR, SW, pretty much any other Sci-Fi or Fantasy IP seems more popular.
Well what do you expect from a Warcraft rip-off?  Ohhhhh, I see.

Was this supposed to be green?  Someone tell me this was supposed to be green.
