Well I have not posted in a bit, and when I last posted I was having issues of being burned out on Warhammer and as I have taken my break I have yet to have the desire to go back. There are several reasons why I feel this way. The first of which is that I have seen and done all of the endgame PVE, and to be honest what is there is lackluster and un-polished. They are zones the size of AQ40 with no way for fast transportation, or even original fights. In fact every boss fight is a spank and tank.
Now to the core of the game, PVP. I feel that there was too much of a push to do scenarios. The carrot that was dangled was too great to ignore that you had to go after it which meant that oRVR was left to rot. Additionally even after limiting the number of people in sieges, of which I was a vocal opponent, there is still to much lag and it is not smooth as promised prior to launch. It leaves me with the feeling that there are so many things that are un-kept in this game that should have been looked at and where not. Look at the city siege, doing PVE in order to get to the king in a process that is very one sided on most servers with balance any where form 2:1 to 4:1 ratios.
These are just some notes on why I am not happy with Warhammer. My buddy Fat and I decided to try our AOC since it has been out almost a year and we are having a good time so far, but it has had a year to polish and that is what has happened. Mythic has had almost a year to polish and all they had done is adding content and nerfing classes. I wish you all the best in your adventures.
Happy Hunting

Eh, sorry to hear WAR isn't working out for you. It still has some implementation issues despite the great ideas behind it (in my view, anyway).
Don't let that stop you blogging though! :D
Take care man -- and thanks for all the excellent articles!
Thanks for reading them, I agree that there are some great things about the game, and my account will sit dormant for a few months, maybe things will change and I will be back until then though...
Glad you're having fun with AoC, but in the terms of fairness, 6 months is not almost a year.
Thanks for all your posts. Enjoyed reading them. You are an intelligent blogger. Good luck in AOC. (AOC is not for me... thinking of quitting WAR myself to go back to WOW.)

It's sad that you feel this way, maybe one day you'll come back to what is essentially a decent game. It still has some teething problems but at least the guys and gals at Mythic seem to understand this and want to sort them out.
I've really enjoyed reading the blog :-)
Good luck with whatever you decide to do;)
I'm sorry to hear it but I can't say I don't know the feeling!
Thanks all, Shadowwar you are right 6 months is calling it a bit short and I am sure that in a year to so the game will be an A list game to be playing, but I want to wait for consolidations and some smoothing out of endgame before I pick it backup.
As for WOW, you could not pay me to play that game again...All I will say about that.
