The main problem with WAR's cities is that they were so quiet. Compared to Orgrimmar or Shattrath at peak times they were pretty much abandoned.

Once you return from the belly of the beast you're never quite the same.

You terrible man. You should make a Big Exit before your Good Fortune runs out. Find A Place Called Home and stay there, because there was just One Line and you crossed it.

I could go on.

Nice article Alec, but there are a few things I don't know if you are aware:

At rank 5, the IC becomes a lot less hostile (presumably because Tzeentch is getting the other gods' daemons under control), at least coming straight off the flight platform. Also, Nurgle is always the enemy for the Chaos players' side as he is Tzeentches enemy (you'll notice he's more 'invaded' the IC as oppossed to having his own quarter like Khorne and Slaanesh.

Do not understimate the ToK as just a mere acheivements log for PvE. actually chasing them down as your own 'quests' is actually alot more compelling than standard MMO PvE fair.

Adding the other cities will be welcome, but top priority? The populations are sparse enough as it is atm until RvR is sorted out and people are out of scenarios. I hope your mention of them isn't indicative of what the PvP is meant to be all about!

Before I left WAR the cities were one of the best things in it. When you first saw them you wandered off exploring and suddenly it was 3 hours later. If/when they put the other 4 cities back in I might come back just to see them.

I really like the IC. I haven't spent much time there, but it looks like a city of Chaos should look. Altdorf is good as well, but the IC has more atmosphere...

WAR could be a good game, one of the best in fact. not sure if it will ever get there. ATM i'm playing Order and finding it just OK. worth a bash if you have several friends to play with, can be boring as a solo game. All the cities will find there way in to the game eventually.
