Actually I don't dislike WAR as a computer game and as far as MMORPGs go it compares more than favorably to all other MMORPGs I've experienced and certainly out performs the other one with the letters w-a-r in it's title in all aspects. Hmm thats a lot of acronyms for one sentence, hey dose any else remember when MMORPGs used to be called MUDs? I guess MUD just didn't sound cool enough in a time when games have acronyms like 'WoW'. Maybe thats why Combat: Ultimate Ninja Training never came out....
Any way before I get too carried away I'll go back to the point that WAR is great game, but it dose this by not falling into the trap most MMORPGs fall into of trying to be WoW and didn't necessarily need GW's IP license to do that. For instance Mythic could have made 'Dark Age of Camelot: Reloaded' (or what ever) and still incorporated all the great RvR and game play elements that make WAR what it is.
What I (and I'm sure many other players of what I'm half expecting GW to re-name “Warhammer Offline: age of books and dice” in the near future) find disappointing about WAR is that designed to be a mainstream MMORPG and not the global computerized version of WFRP it promised to be. And also that isn't as accurate to the Warhammer background as it made out it was going to be (hence my dislike for the what they did with the Squig Herder character type)
