Re-Reviewing WAR (MMORPG.com)
Final Score
7.5
Average
Pros
A restructure at Mythic is showing promise for updates and improvements
Arguably still the best RvR available
Endless Free Trial!
Still visually impressive
Cons
Desolate ghost cities make for a very lonely gaming experience.
Endless Free Trial…
It’s still US$14.95 a month for the full game. Money which could be spent on a complete, polished MMO.
Poor End-game content
The already lacking solo and PvE content has been hacked down to little more than a stump.

From day one, WAR has often been over promised, and under delivered. With 2010 being dubbed Warhammer Online’s year for “commitment to quality” in MMORPG’s interview with Josh Drescher last year, I look forward in anticipation to see how the year will unfold. It’s still far from the game it should have been at launch, and it’s unfortunate to think it will ever reach that point. It has to be said though, that if there is one thing that Mythic Entertainment does, and does well, it’s RvR. Warhammer Online is a title that has a very short learning curve, and with the ‘Endless Free Trial’ I would encourage everyone to jump in and experience a PvP experience which is unrivalled by any other title currently on the market.
