With the quality of patches Mythic's bringing out, I'd say Easter may be a point where a lot of ppl's issues about WAR will be fixed near about, dispite what the naysayers have been saying WAR isn't done yet

Unfortunately, the low population servers in the EU are currently one of the biggest problems. It is nice they're working full tilt to fix some of the game issues but they've a long way to go yet. Need to improve PvE incentives and content, need a complete overhaul of crafting (it's a waste of time) and need to strengthen the community side of things. Work at making the capitals bustling instead of empty. Also hear the endgame is prety shoddy

I really really wanted to like this game, and it was fantastic for the first month. But I made the mistake of trying out different classes instead of levelling with the mass and soon found out that the games pretty charmless when there's no-one to do PQs with and the Scenario's aren't happening.

Couldn't agree more Smurf - Norn and Izor had a small pop boost but still not enough, theres still 40+ servers still active that certainly needs scaling down, theres med/med servers out there but the low/low ones (like Izor) need more players to help us out, thats all in GoA's department..

The 'endgame' is good but it's completely dependent on the population to actally do the RVR campain as intended not just do whats known as 'keep trading' for the items, 1.1 seems to put a little help in that department but again it's all on the players to help make 'endgame' fun..

If anyone is returning to the game I'd recommend a med/med population server (or Izor, I'm there :)) and try not to go for Destruction if you have the option TBH, but thats why I said Easter would be a good time, hopfully GoA will have sorted out the servers by then, as I've said in many times in posts before the WHOLE of the EU hangs on the population of the servers atm

PQ loot system = terribly random. Will this influence thingamabob be just as lacking in the "rewarding behaviour" department?

@AOFanboi: They mean the influence rewards in the PQ's (the light blue bar you fill up as you complete PQ objectives), not the roll for the loot bags.

In 1.1a this will mean that as you kill enemies, capture/ defend battlefield objectives and castles/ keeps in Open RvR you will get Influence and after accumulating a set amount you can claim a reward from a Rally Master. No random rolls or such.

What does low population say about the game as a whole? Lack of an official support site, hideous technical problems and a serious lack of polish and general quality. With Lich King up and running too little to late maybe ...

I think they better to remove Tiers or introduce a upscale/downscale of levels and skills just like it happens (only updwards) in RvR.
I for one would more than likely to bring down my capped White Lion to mentor younger players, but as the leveling system is today, well, it's almost broken and the tiered approach is just plain lame. MMOGs need more liberty on how to explore content and the sidekick/exemplar system of COX should be adopter by every game on the market, otherwise, prepare to live most MMOGs just like a really boring single player game until you reach level cap using crappy equipment and experiencing only a minimum of the contents you paid for.

I bought the game from Play.com this week, at a bargain price of £9.99. Should arrive today or tomorrow.

WTF are you on about? Seriously. A few (frankly expected) bugs are hardly the portents of doom you make them out to be.

Good game, shut down half the EU server's, that would be just the thing to kick start this, Mytic must have twigged they are running more than is needed!

I really liked WAR. I just didnt like the Games two mellee dps classes (or mirrored versions on the oposite faction).
didnt like running around in a metal thong/bikini, or as Captain Fishfinger-Viking man.
Here's hoping they do a good job of the Greenskin / Dwarf Mellee dps classes when they add them eventually.
might re-sub.

tbh I loved the looks of my Chosen and Zealot... but I hate playing Tank / Healers / Casters.
