Konah said:from what ive seen of warhammer they've tried to copy WoW too much. so i doubt itll be a huge success cos at teh end of the day if u wanna play WoW, you go play WoW
all depends on what the game has to offer really. daoc has by far the best pvp of any game in the same genre atm, which is its biggest strength. warhammer will definately suck the playerbase just like WoW but i doubt daoc will truly die until servers are closed.[NO]Subedai said:I think it will, it is mythics natural sucsessor to DAOC, it will be similar playstyle but better in most ways. They will focus on warhammer and less so on daoc, i think ill be heading warhammer most likely
It doesnt matter who took inspiration first tho, WoW is already out there and Warhammer is not. So people will think that Warhammer looks like WoW, not the other way around.scorge said:if i remember rightly is was actually WoW that took inspiration off warhammer for there game, for those that have played warhammer and other games workshop stuff, the graphics are spot on to there models.
Warhammer already has a good brand name in the market, so i think it will do quiet well. Think mythics executives were looking at how much money WoW was making and went, "i want some of that". Then they made the decsion that warhammer would make more money for them than imperetor.

another possibility is that people see the pvp that Mythic has brought forward into WH (i assume it would be equal or better than daoc) and decide to investigate into daoc, finally giving it the credit it deserves. people will always come and go, it happens in every game no matter how old it is.old.Whoodoo said:Comparing games of the MMO genre is damn hard, lots say "WoW has new xxx" which is bull as all new games just steal bits of others and brand it their own, WoW and its fanbois are the worst at this.
Some have even said "Oh look, DAoC 2 is coming!", but is it really? You could say they just changed Norsemen for Orcs, Avalonians for Gargoyles etc and rebadged DAoC (as maybe it should be) as a new game, but you could say that about any MMO.
Warhammer is coming at the right time, as many WoWittes are finding the end game dull and repeatative, but their own stupid pride makes them say "I wont go back to DAoC/UO/SWG!" because they feel its a step backwards. So, I think WH will do the player base of a lot of games, especially WoW a huge amount of damage, IF it turns out to have as good an RvR system as Dark Ages always has.
Kill DAoC - maybe, hurt it - definately. Personally I think its poor judgement in Mythics part taking this on, and leaving behind all they have put into our beloved game.

Seeing as Mythic are throwing all sort of stuff at Daoc now, they will probably be trying stuff out for the new Warhammer rpg
