i guess it somewhat plays a little like wow. its pretty smooth so far. I haven't spent a whole lot of time in game ( want to save some of the magic for when my friend can get in beta on the 7th and then the headstart later in sept near release )
so far all my attacks ( 1 small heal 1 DD 1 DoT ) are instant. with a 2 second global cooldown.
The final graphics aren't in yet ( hi-rez ones ) but so far it looks REALLY nice in the world. much better than wow imo.
you can choose to PVE or PVP.
PVE levels go up to 40
PVP levels go up to 80 ( called renown rank )
You can earn regular XP by PVPing.
You can start PVP at level 1 !!!

Game is hugely PVP based but its an EA game so content will flow like water. I had fun in the beta but its nothing insanely addicting. Was a bunch of dumbasses in general channels spamming like WoW

Yea, but I'm not into pvp either. I still may look into it for pve, but heard that part of the game only goes to level 40, while pvp goes much higher.

*sigh* My husband has been eyeballing this game since they first released any info at all about it. I suppose I'm going to have to let him try it, especially as cool as they made dwarves look Which means I'll have noone to yell at in EQ2; poop. Maybe I can enable voice chat and yell at Lillaanya!

Yeah, have to blame husband.....here's the pword to Warhammer if you wanna give it a try.....9 lvls later....
I liked the public storyline/quests. It was neat that the only way to really complete them was if you worked together with whoever else was around doing them, and they were timed events.
Played Dark elf? witch elf. Rogue like toon (can't keep away from that one!). The melee was sorta like WoW that you built up power and had a finishing shot of sorts. I hear that sneak only lasts 30 seconds or something like that too, so might make things more interesting...
damn hubby...
