Nah, you've been seeing the beta screenshots, they only worked with low detail settings (even then, they weren't much different to WOW). The in-game ones are much better, better than WOW for sure. From what I've seen and from every review the gameplay's very different to WOW. The content was always going to be similiar since WOW looted Warhammer so much in the first place, but apparently the gameplay is very different, mainly because of the RvR stuff.

RvR? Got to say I havnt done a great deal of investigation into this. Might play the 40K one when it comes out.

Realm vs realm... Basically, it's got player vs player that works and is worthwhile. That's the big difference, looks like, it was never much good in wow, no real consequences and not much benefit either.

never played WOW but played lineage 2 alot, well use to until i sold my account (nice little money earner, played for 2 years sold it all for about £3k - crazy i know)- those online games are massive money earners use to be so many ppl online it was nuts - glad i sold up as i spent far to much time playing it, was still fun tho

Hubby has just loaded this on his PC. Initial thoughts are it is a WOW clone but the graphics are not quite as cartoony. Conan is the best for graphics - it looks fabulous - but there are so many irritating and unnecessary bugs in it. Having said that Hubby has now hit level 72/80 in Conan, the highest he has got in any MMORPG before he gets bored with it.

Hubby used to work for Games Workshop and it is quite funny seeing all the guys names he used to work with on the credits

I have dumped WOW and LOTRO in favour of Tabula Rasa. I think it is best described like a MMORPG of Starship Troopers and the gameplay is more along the lines of an FPS rather than the traditional MMORPG style of play. It is an absolute hoot to play and I am just having a break from it now!

To get the limited edition boxed set IIRC it is £5 from play.com (reduced from about £50 I think. If anyone is interested in TR (and you can trial it for free) PM me as I can recruit you for a 5 day free trial. If you take it up and pay for a month subs I get a free month according to the rules below.


Receive a FREE Month Credit* to your Tabula Rasa™ account when you recruit a friend into Tabula Rasa™. Enter the required information and click the Invite a Friend button below to e-mail a free 5-day trial serial code to a friend. Should your friend buy a standard account and pay for one month of subscription to Tabula Rasa™, you will be automatically credited with one month of free game time!
How does it work?

1. E-mail your friend a 5-day trial serial code by entering the requested information and clicking the Invite a Friend button below.
2. When your friend activates the trial account to a full retail account by buying a retail box or buying a direct digital download and then pays for their first month of subscription (excluding any periods of play included with the product purchase), you will have one month of free game time credited to your Tabula Rasa™ account.
3. You can have a maximum of 4 invites 'live' at any one time. As soon as one of your friends converts to a standard account, we'll give you another one to send to someone else. If your first batch of four invites is successful with all four friends converting to a standard account and each buying one month of subscription (excluding any periods of play included with the product purchase), you'll get four months of Tabula Rasa™ for free! Recruit more friends for more free game time!
4. You will only receive your free game time if your friend converts to a paid subscription within two months of the invitation being sent. Be sure to remind them to activate their account before time runs out!
5. You can see the status of each invite you send at the bottom of this page.

Important Note: This is a Tabula Rasa™ (Europe) trial serial code, so it will need to be activated with an EU retail serial code.


Hope to see you there

I haven't played it but I believe it is the type of game where you have to spend a lot of time leveling your character, going on quests etc before you can partake in pvp competitivly.

I used to play games like this, then realised I was looking a little pale due to lack of sunlight!

Now I just play shoot em ups every now and then. Into Call of Duty 4 at the minute!
