It seems like Warcraft has really changed the view of MMO's. You can change the theme of the universe and try to eliminate or enhance some of the grinding for a better experience, but I don't think that's enough. Gamers are going to be looking for something new and different. I wonder what that will be. What’s next than? It seems like Warcraft has really changed the view of MMO’s.

WO feels meh. I don't care about the world, I am not passionate about the races or characters. I can't name you even one of the core NPC's of that universe. Conan - meh again. Barbarian adventure... the noble savage thing just doesn't play for me. Never felt drawn to it unless you count the lust I've felt for the women in Boris Vallejo paintings.

The more I hear and see of Warhammer, the more unimpressed I am of the game, which is why I feel the delays are for the best - I think they need to continue to evalute where they stand against the market and what consumers are asking for in another title and better match that demand. Whether they can pull that all off before WoW beats them with the expansion offering similiar features.. only minus the greenskins remains to be seen. I don't think there's going to be some mass migration of immature gamers looking for pixelated boobies and blood splatters anymore than you had in WoW or every MMO before it.

It feels more like you're just some idioticly strong unit in age of empires. The whole 'rape and pillage' mentality just isn't what I'm into. And it makes me laugh when people say a more mature IP will draw a more community to it. You know this thing is going to be filled with pre-teens looking for guts and boobies.
