Hi! I will try to put it as simple as possible. The Warhammer Online is not just the game, as you put it, it is more the way of life. It was a groundbreaking game when it appeared in 1995, and is at the top of virtual games since then. It is difficult to describe what is so fascinating about this game. The only way you can get answer to your question is to, simply, play the game for yourself, and everything would be crystal clear to you. Then you would not be angry with your friends, but all of you could form a small fan club.
