I have a different problem. As for me, I chose to eat the apple, and thus I pretty much only care about the apples in the basket, but people just have to keep telling me how the orange is so much better, although I already have a biased perspective to this issue as I chose the apple in the first place. To make it worse, when I try to search information about more ways to eat these apples, I have more people telling me that I should eat an orange instead. Can't I just enjoy my apples peacefully?

If anyone is going to make a free version of WoW, let it be Blizzard.
I played WoW and EQ2 long enough that I'm looking for something different.
I prefer that other developers offer different things.

Meh as long as its good and free, and the PvP isn't bad, I'm fine. I don't care that much as long as those conditions are met.

Comparing Gw's to WoW and saying they are alike is saying that a guy playing baseball could do the same thing as the guy who invented(or maybe discovered would be better word?) penecilin.

WoW mentioned. /me casts "Summon Zinger"

God, people who mention GW and WoW in the same sentance are like people who think every FPS ever made is a ripoff of Halo. I especially enjoyed people saying that games like Mass Effect (a 3rd person RPG) are a "Halo rip off."
Just like you can't copyright space, aliens, and guns, you can't copyright dwarves, elves, and magic.

WRONG! We'll take a lil survey to prove how wrong you are:

Question 1: Does GW & WoW provide a central meeting place for players to meet and group up beyond the group max size?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 2: Does GW & WoW provide quests and missions from inside these meeting places for the players to gain and do?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 3: Are the prefixes for GW & WoW MMO?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 4: Does GW and WoW have grind for achievements, titles and character progression?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 5: Are there NPC merchants to trade with in the towns/outposts of both games?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 6: Does GW and WoW offer up UNIQUE loot on a level scale to their maximum levels ALLOWED by the perspective games?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 7: Does GW and WoW offer player trading amongst one another for profit and gain or even loss at times?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 8: Are GW and WoW RPG's in the sense and definition of what RPS's are ONLINE (not related to what an actual RPG is as per tabletop DnD)

Answer: Yes to both

Question 9: Can you SOLO efficiently and well in GW and WoW?

Answer: Yes to both

Question 10: Can you SOLO ALL the content in both GW and WoW?

Answer: No to both (you can't solo any of the epic level dungeons or missions from start to finish even in GW you are limited to certain areas).

So, you see good man that they are more than equal already in style and play. There is no apples to oranges needed to be applied. Their only difference lie in their character advancement levels and the advancement of loot stats above those character level advancements. As for one having something the other does not, doesn't make them apples and oranges, a handful of features in one vs the other also doesn't make them apples and oranges. To be uncomparable they must not have ANY features that can be compared to one another and as you can see above I have listed at least 10 and there are plenty more. WOW rules as the supreme game of choice by the MAJORITY of gamers who play these online mmo's. There's no arguing that, if you try to argue it then you are just showing what a fool you really are. WOW cannot be defeated with it's 10 million subscribers and that's subsribers not just people who purchased the game which is well beyond 10 million. GW is just a puny wannabe and that is why GW2 will have MORE features like WOW, but, still will not be WOW. Nightfall and GWEN have shown their direction they were heading for GW prime and GW2 will just enhance that direction and vision even more....towards WOWlike.

This is why I never once gave WoW even a second glance. I never got beyond the graphical style to even consider anything else it might have going for it. Monthly fee had nothing to do with it in my case.

I do admittedly wish GW wasnt quite so ultra-realistic, and did actually bring in a little more fantasy, perhaps looked a little more epic, perhaps a la some of the concept art. Minor issue though, since for me, comparing GW to WoW visually is no contest. Wouldnt play WoW if it was free.

I don't think anyone is asinine enough to argue that GW has more content than WoW.

I"ll take you up on that. Dollar for Dollar GW wins, value for content/dollar ratio GW wins Real big. Re-playability GW wins wins hands down. Access to content--GW wins beyond a doubt . .

Because of level segregation of both content and players -- WoW loses. In WoW, because of levels, you are limited to a very small part of the Game world, in GW the entire Game is useful and playable. Lots more content if you ask me.

Why you even troll here still, Zinger, is truly one of the Internets greatest mysteries. You need to find something useful to do.

I don't think it's ok to pathetically TROLL about other games on GW webboard either, so there.

Apples, oranges, it's not that I don't like them both, it's that I don't want to be caught with stolen goods, and the oranges are stolen goods, taken by the greedy hands of Blizzard from the people who worked so hard creating the WHFB IP; Games Workshop, and then renamed and edited just enough to avoid outright copyright infringement while still leaving no doubt as to where they got it from.
