Sigurd said:Perhaps they were planning on charging the playerbase £25 per month and realized no-one would bother? Games Workshop have a beautiful history of that kind of bullshit... I've lost count of the number of people I know who stopped playing the tabletop game because the prices just went up and up... I remember playing a MUD called Wolfenburg in beta... stopped when I realized I'd have to pay £10 a month to play an imagination based game

Balbor said:Table top version was a wargame, the realy RPG of the warhammer world was WHFR which would of made a great MMORPG if they had use the WHFR rule set. Problem is Games Workshop sold it off a while ago (probably because you don't need minitures for most of it). Great thing about WHFR was a new character could kill even the most advanced character if he was to walk up behind him and stab him in the back.
The Movie looked ok, but in the end it was all rendered up promo stuff. It did also look a bit too much like WOW, and without the ability to play as Orcs, Skaven, Dark Elves etc PvP would be a bit limited (seeing as you'd only be beating up on your allies really).
Aye, the critical hits table was well nasty! Couldn't really see it being popular in a MMOG though.Balbor said:Great thing about WHFR was a new character could kill even the most advanced character if he was to walk up behind him and stab him in the back.
No, it was all in-game footage. I've been in the Climax offices, I've seen it running on a PC, it genuinely looks that good. Or looked.Balbor said:The Movie looked ok, but in the end it was all rendered up promo stuff.
Who said anything about PvP?PvP would be a bit limited
