Worldofwarcraft final has a challenge with the new launch of warhammer online, people and gamers are begining to think that wow may final lose their players.
I think warhammer online is going to blow wow out of the water.

Speculate, What do you think?
Quoted by nooblit on a friendly forum.
But hold a thought there, there seems to be a major down side to warhammer.. WoW works with windows, mac and linux, BUT on the other hand, warhammer online just works with windows, as there isnt any clients allowing it to support the game on other operating systems. This may cause mac and linux users to stick to WoW unless able to get their hands of a Pc.
World of warcraft is mainly based on PvE with some but little PvP in the game. Having to spend hours leveling, gaining rep in major cities aswell as tribes. And only being able to really have PvP actions in the battle grounds. Whilst Warhammer online is based purely on PvP. Having little PvE and needing to spend time on leveling, gaining rep but instead of spending time on doing this players spend time on brutally killing each other, being able to PvP at level one.
warhammer online is a cheap, its just like wow, and copied wow. Its a f*** stupid game wow is the best for ever!
People are saying that warhammer is copied from wow. Well this is where everone has it wrong. warcraft originated from warhammer, as Blizzard wanted in on the warhammer games to help produce it and launch a different kind of warhammer, The deal was turned down as Blizzard didnt seem to like the idea causing Blizzard to create their own game, basing it on warhammer, by tweaking it hear and there. Which is why the similarlity is absurdly close. In other worlds It is the opposite then what people think. wow was copied from warhammer even though warhammer online is only being launched now.
The launch of warhammer online isnt going to Kill wow. Its too similar to have players move completely to the game. Which is why people are saying, out of the 10 million players playing, 5 million would stay on wow, 2.5 million would have dual accounts both on wow and warhammer online and the other 2.5 million will be playing just warhammer online. Seems like a fair spilt according to the people who gatherd this information.
My personal thoughts?
I have 4 world of warcraft accounts, 1 normal with out expansion the other 3 with burning crusade, there isnt a possiblitly in me stopping wow as ive spent nearly 3 years playing the darn game. All my characters are tier 6, but not the character on the non expasion account. yes it may be a awesome thing having tier 6 gears, but with the launch of the new expansion soon, lvl 75 green and blue gears are gonna be better then my tier 6 gears. which is a real bite in the ass. Which is why i may consider to switch to warhammer online and try it out for a month or two, see how the game goes, but at the same time still play wow. Seeing that wow is mainly PvE and warhammer PvP, ill use WoW when i feel like PvEin and Play warhammer when i feel like kicking some a**. Thats my personal oppion.
