ive been having a go at WAR for the last few weeks, trying out most of the classes (destro-side)and i have some mixed feelings about this game...
for starters it looks beautiful, the mobs, the landskapes, the effects, even the animation. the questing is less tedious then WoW in the sense that the objectives are marked on the map and none of that random-drop bs. the BG maps are creative and whilst in them your level is normalized, so your nub ass stands half a chance if your in the 1-11 bracket as a lvl 3.

that said its not without its weaknesses. for what is primerily a PvP game, PvP can be hard to come by. im on a server thats "full" and the queues for the battlegrounds, especially once u get past 11, become mind-bendingly long, and if you wanna pvp past midnight, forgetaboutit.

something else of note is the tons of abilities they pile on each class. enjoy having 30+ diffent buttons to click, and if you like keybinding... well GL with that..
many of said abilities also cross over between classes

all that being said.. it looks/feels/runs better then WoW did at its release

Ps. expect to spend hours banging your head on your keyboard trying to figure out the stat system
and sorry for the wall of text.

oh PPS. no free first month 4 u...so tack $15 onto the retail price
