Should i get world of warcraft or warhammer online age of reckoning?

ok which one should i get im mostly thinking about getting warhammer but i still dont know which one i should get and wow it has been out for four years and im scared it will die within 1-2 years but with warhammer im sure it will stay alive for at least 6-7 years because it just came out a few months ago so can someone help me to decide on which one to get :DShould i get world of warcraft or warhammer online age of reckoning?
WORLD OF WARCRAFT dude its head and sholders over the competition
World of Warcraft will not die for a long time. They have around 11 million players right now. Blizzard makes the most addictive games ever. Not just WoW but there other strategy games such as Starcraft and Warcraft and Diablo, even though Diablo is more of an adventure game. I don't know much about warhammer, other than its based of the popular table top game and its more pvp based than pve. Also if you prefer a game with better graphics then probably warhammer since its been released later. But I like playing WoW. Only thing with WoW is you might become bored with the repetitive questing.Should i get world of warcraft or warhammer online age of reckoning?
How long a game as been out does not determine how long it lasts. Especially for MMOs where the games are updated regularly.



WoW is actually growing faster than WHO (Warhammer Online). So even though it's been out longer, it is less likely to die based on current subscription numbers.



I personally have played both. I like WoW better. However I'm taking a break from WoW right now (for about 1.5 months), and just started playing WHO again yesterday, after not playing it for quite some time. Both are great games.
World of Warcraft. It still has the biggest following of any online game in the world; it's not going to die out at least for another 5 years or more. I've never played Warhammer, but it's more pvp-based from what I hear. So if you're not into randomly getting killed by other players you might like WoW more. There's lots to do and a great community in WoW so I think if it's your first MMO, that's what you should get.Should i get world of warcraft or warhammer online age of reckoning?
WoW hands down!!!

I play both and I quickly got bored with Warhammer. I will echo all the other comments and say that WoW will not disappear anytime soon while Warhammer... might be an issue especially with all the stories about layoffs at their development team.
Wow, is the standard, Warhammer is just another competitor that probably won't be able to compete. Sad but true.
World of Warcraft
I'm surprised warhammer isn't dead yet.
WoW!!!!
def wow
Anyone who gives you a flat out answer to this like "play wow" or "warhammer is definitely better," is retarded. They are different games with their own strengths:



WoW:

Pros - It has a huge subscriber base which means there are always people on servers doing things...it is an MMO in the truest sense of the term, the story line and PVE in WoW are very hard to beat, they are extremely well developed and interesting, WoW is also the smoothest RPG out there IMHO...it's very difficult to compete with the money they can throw at that game.



Cons - It has a huge subscriber base which means more assholes and more 7 year olds to deal with if you want an example jump on a trial account around 5PM and go sit in a city listening to conversations, The PVP is fair to good, but there are much better games out there for PVP, this is my favorite part of MMOs so this is a major failing as far as I am concerned, WoW is 4 years old, now this doesn't mean that it will die out sooner, but it does mean that there are tons of players who are very well developed and have tons of gold, you are starting out in a developed economy with a brand new account (but don't let that intimidate you, it's more than doable)



Warhammer:

Pros - PVP, it's probably got the best PVP going right now (I haven't played everything and this is just an opinion but regardless it is VERY well done), There are also no battle groups on Warhammer which means they don't mix servers for PVP which means you get to know your friends and your enemies, It's newer so there are less fully developed toons out there running around messing with the economy and ganking newbs, I personally enjoy the story telling better in this game (opinion) it is darker and feels less cartoonish to me, that was always one of my main complaints with wow is I felt like it lacked a sort of adult flair (although adult flair doesn't mean a good game *cough AoC cough*) in Warhammer the bad guys are truly evil bad guys and not just "misunderstood" like wow, they are baby eating monsters out to destroy anything positive ...a great way to start out a game.



Cons - NO ONE can compete with WoW's money, it will probably always run a little smoother and always have more cash for development than Warhammer, If PVP isn't your thing then this game is NOT for you, while the PVE is fun and worth doing this game is meant to be played PVP and will make that your emphasis, there are less addons available for this game which is a product of having a smaller community,



There are tons of things to say about either game, they both have different qualities to them and I happen to subscribe to both (it's odd, I like Warhammer better but I spend more time playing WoW because that is what my friends play) I would say get trial accounts of both games and see which you and your friends like better.



Finally, if I had to boil down my whole train of thought into one gamer friendly sentence it would be this:

WoW = PVE, Warhammer = PVP

Fanboys = Fail

Enjoy whatever you end up deciding to play!



Just read some of the other comments and I thought I would throw this out there, the abbreviation for Warhammer is WAR (Warhammer Age of Reckoning) not "WHO" or some of the others I've seen lol
A game with a later release date doesn't necessarily dictate the overall success. It comes down a matter of opinion and what you think is fun and never assume that if a game is better for you based on how many subscribers it gets.



As every avid MMO player knows, there's that initial grind from level 1 to the max level or what we call the endgame or what you may consider, only the beginning. I think this grind is the apprenticeship of preparing yourself for the 'beginning' of some serious endgame action and how fun the trip was to get there. Admittedly, in warcraft, the trip can feel more like a grind but when you reach the finish line, you know it was well worth it when you're prepping to take down the most notorius raiding monsters in the game or participating in an organized elite group to take down the opposing side in the battlegrounds.



Going through Warhammer you will notice that the game is setup to get you away from the soloing action, which is usually questing, so that you can participate in the scenarios, the battleground equivalent of warcraft. Admittedly, I reached the end of this journey to find that the endgame had little to offer, but the content soon to come sounded very promising such as lairs to massive world pvp action.



The UI organization in Warhammer Online is definitely more user friendly and one thing I noticed was that I never needed to hunt down all the addons that is crucial for warcraft and I did little referring to the internet to find out where I had to go next for an objective. In warcraft, I couldn't count how many times I Alt-Tabbed to thottbot to find out where my objectives were. On the contrary, some people may find bliss in this aspect of finding out on your own what to do next.



My prediction is that Warcraft will never die and the number of subscribers keep on growing as well as the improvement of the game. Read this article for more comparisons: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/world-of-warcra鈥?/a>
