Warhammer Online Trial

For all intents and purposes it sounds like it's going to be a reversioned WoW with a PvP emphasis moreso than a PvE (I heartell you can actually level in PvP?)

Which sounds awesome to be honest, but I would like to know if the time commitment is relatively the same as WoW? I'm still waiting on WotLK but WAR does sound quite fun from everyone I've talked to that's played it for more than a day.

Level 1-40(cap) in WAR and level 70-80 in WotLK appear to be about the same amount of time.

Cept, in WAR it won't take time out of your leveling if you want to do bg's/world pvp etc.

fair enough, what about things like endgame content (the equivalent of raids/dyna? i suppose) or some PvP, does that require relatively large investments (3-4 hours a sitting type deal) to get past noob equipment? or would it take something like a half decent raid schedule to get any sort of good equipment to keep up in pvp?

you can have "good enough" equipment simply from pvping a lot, the best comes from doing well, capturing keeps, and, of course, the big time city raids

tier 4 is essentially a tug-of-war across 5 zones for each pairing, so 15 total

when your realm controls all 5 of those zones in a pairing you get to attack the enemy city, which opens up events in the attack ranging from completely solo do however much you want to full on raids attempting to defeat the king and take him back to your own city as prisoner, and, obviously, loot him ;p

Well for one say you are lvl 11 and you queue for the 11-21 bracket, the game buffs your stats automatically to lvl 18 (28,38 respectively), so they put you on a decent competitive start off the bat.

Gear (as well as gold) has been pretty much a non issue to me, you get so many good pieces from questing, and especially public quest influence (think WoW reputation on much smaller scale) rewards.
