It's actually looking rather interesting (late alpha atm)

someone wrote:I was reading the article before and it's pretty interesting. The game has no levelling system, rather you physically change and gain skill ups over time. Stuff like Orcs becoming HUGE as they gain power, or dwarves beards growing longer. Class system is skill based too, seems more like Morrowind than anything.

p.s. confusing a river troll for a goblin hurrrr

ooh

PvP will be broken into four types: Skirmishes, Battlefields, Sceanarios, and Campaigns. Skirmishes are... two or more enemies clashing in unstructured combat. Battlefields... fighting for in-game resources, such as lumber mills and temples. Scenarios are similar to Battlefields, except these large-scale battles will be instanced and evenly matched by the server (adding bots to balance the sides).. and factor the most into which side takes a zone. Campaigns will be the PvP end-games - a final, humiliating invasion of the losing race's capital city.
Once [the capital is taken, yay for wanton slaughter of NPCs]... the server's metagame will spawn in AI reinforcements, drive out the invasion force, and then reset the server.... You get to keep [all your phat lewts]... At launch, there will be approximately 33 zones and 1800 quests...

and

You'll also get to choose from two different archetypes: the Warrior and the Adept. Warriors, not suprisingly, rely heavily on brute force. Adepts are better at skilled professions. Each puts you on a unique career path in which you'll be able to make selections that further detail your profession (A Human Warrior, for example, may rise through the ranks of being a soldier, a rifleman, mercenary, knight, and ranger - sometimes mixing and matching facets of each if desired).

just re read it and am i correct in thinking that the skills are gonna be like uo? (well sorta) as in gain skill over time, (to say, 100) then you can change it etc...

I want to be a Force Commander or a Terminator, or maybe one of them Orcz Big Nobz.
Hmm... Force Commander cos in Dawn of War, he'd keep saying "I am the EXCREMENT of his willy"

Or something like that.

Anyway, yah Uncle Villa pronounced 9 months ago that WarHammer Online will be the game that will replace WoW eventually as most popular MMORPG thingy.
Heed well the words of Uncle Villa for he is wise indeed.

Not really interested personally, these games are so much effort.
