Aoc isn't much better now, the PVP in Twilight is just pointless ganking. Oddly I've never seen a Mammoth or rhino mount and they give them away free with the game. You can build player cities but no-one really seems to understand that bit.

Warhammer looks nicer than AOC which has really crude graphics at least with my card. . Its funny they keep changing the careers so late in the games developement, Orc choppas are gone and Dark elf Sorcerors are now female only sorceresses its shame it doesn't have an elf wardancer, some kind of thief a or dwarf Troll Slayer. I'd also like to have seen vampires as a playable class.

I just found this article which was enough to put me completely off the game.

'In the latest of an ongoing series of interviews with MMORPG.com, Mythic Entertainment VP and General Manager Mark Jacobs has dropped big news on the Warhammer Online fanbase: major features are being culled from the game in order to make their Fall launch deadline. In short, the capital cities for the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf factions will not be in the game at launch. The Human city of Altdorf and the Chaos Inevitable City will be the only Capital cities in the game. This is an enormous change, seemingly changing much of what we know about the game's core of RvR gameplay.

Additionally, four classes are being removed, deemed to be in a condition unsuitable for launch. They are:

* The Choppa (Greenskin)
* The Hammerer (Dwarf)
* The Blackguard (Dark Elf)
* The Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire)

As the website notes, all of these are melee classes and two of these were intended to be the primary tanking classes for their race. This leaves the Empire and Dark Elf races without a dedicated tanking career, possibly limiting their contributions to end-game PvE content. Jacobs moved immediately to try to curtail the obvious rumor-mongering: "This has nothing to do with EA ... they had zero input in this ... They don't even know about it. It's not a discussion we would have with them."

We've previously expressed some reservations about just these issues. How do you feel about these major announcements for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning?'
