Whats best is that the game has no subscription fee. I play it with my friends after the scenarios in Warhammer stop popping.

Yin and yang. @Pete I hear ya, I'd be more interested in WAR if there was a good pve world to explore and conquest in the normal week and maybe pvp on weekends. I can't handle too much endless pvp. I just get bored, but a little now and then spices things up. Its like cinnamon. If you pop a cinnamon Altoid in your mouth, it burns and waked you up and tastes good but if you keep doing ti it loses all significance and eventually you tire of it. @Bildo, that’s a pretty good summary.

That was pre-battlefields though. And for the record, I'm currently playing TWO MMOs, not four!! LOL EQ2 & WOW for now. I do 'circulate' through MMOs pretty frequently though. :) The only PvP I’ve done in WoW over the years is open world PvP which is more or less just for giggles. That was pre-battlefields though.

The 1-shots of WoW do not a good PvP system make. That is exactly how I feel as well. In fact, I've decided to avoid any pvp in WoW from now on because it's so much more satisfying in WAR. -But Azerothian PvP sucks hard, especially when compared to WAR.

Luckily, my work for TTH pretty much pays for any gaming I do since it's supplemental income, and I can easily afford to play two games. But not everyone can. Obviously, Pete, you can (this is going to be #4, no? hehe) but I get the sense that you're like me in that you don't have enough time to truly devote to all of them. Two is the max, and even that's pushing it. But with my wife in WoW, and my lifelong best friend starting it up soon, I've got to play both. Even if I tend to enjoy one over the other at times. In fact, I enjoy them each more than the other now and then. When I'm in a questing and PvE mood I really hanker for WoW. But Azerothian PvP sucks hard, especially when compared to WAR. The 1-shots of WoW do not a good PvP system make. But then there are days when I'd like nothing more than to kill other players, because they react so very differently than NPCs. WAR is the game I'll likely always be calling on when that need arises. The only thing I hope for with WAR is that more Dungeons and small group content are added later on, and I don't mean just PQs in the open world. I'd like to see more content like Gunbad put in the game. And in due time I'm sure it will be added. The big problem with WAR is that it's new and easily comparable to WoW... but it's lacking in the refinement and polish and 4+ years of additions WoW has. I think a lot of folks are quick to forget that MMOs grow and mature and instead are ready to swear off a game when it doesn't ring true immediately for them. Maybe I'm crazy, but I check in on all my games from time to time because you never know when they'll be better. EvE is a great example of this. Bah, I'm done rambling. Let me leave it at this: I wish WAR and WoW would be combined into one massive pot of awesome. The two games seem to yin and yang each other. What one gets right the other gets wrong and vice versa.

I'm the same as you. I like certain aspects of the game, but would only play it casually. Maybe a few hours a week. If there was a lifetime sub option I would probably jump on it, otherwise I can't warrant paying $23 AU a month to play. The game has awesome lore and I'm all about the lore, but I can buy a new game on Steam each month for the cost of a single WAR sub. No competition really.
