Most asked question I get from wow heads is..

What's different from WOW?

I have tried loads of answers the following seem to be the ones that mean more to them.

1 No item damage on death

2 No corpse running

3 You can level in PvP

4 If you kill someone in PvP you get loot

5 You can get into PvP right at the start PQ's get round the problem of needing friends

6 Your bag increases in capacity as you level and you can sort your bags via filters IN game.

And the stuff they want comfort on turns out to be these..

1 If you don't want to PvP you still have a great PvE game

2 You can craft and its ace and if you like crafting its jolly, it has experimentation

3 The Tome Of Knowledge is a great read and gives you a reason to explore

4 The open grouping system makes it easy as pie to find friends

5 Yes you can MOD the UI and yes you can customize the UI so all your cool toys will still be there in WAR

6 The maps in WAR show you where to go and where to hunt for each quest.

Can you think of any others?

Goblins are a playable race in WAR
WAR Orcs, while much stupider, are much cooler than the nancy orcs in WoW
Even the "Good Guys" in WAR are corrupt and not so good.
The Developers listen to the logical arguments of their fans, not the crying on the forums of the vocal majority.

. You get inventory bags automatically as you level ... no need to buy or craft them.

. Your bags can be setup to auto-place loot for you via filters (OMFG this is awesome).

. Even the cities aren't safe ... see Greater Daemon of Nurgle stalking the slums in Altdorf.

On a personal note, as someone who doesn't like PvP at all in any game including DAoC, I love RvR in WAR. You got it right. You can haz cheezberger nao.

and WAR has a little less suck than wow, can't forget that one. And from what I noticed, a more mature playerbase, so the young'ns screamin OMF MAH LOOTS WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *EXPLITIVES* can stay with wow and the more mature people can come to WAR :)

Each race has different classes. So you won't see any of the same classes on the opposite faction

I am so happy with what little I've done in beta. Right from the start you guys had me addicted because of that Tome of Knowledge! lol In wow it's the same old boring questing that I've done too many times before. I like feeling like I am always accomplishing something or have something to accomplish when I'm playing a game.

I love you guys! Thank you so much for all the hard work.

RvR gear in WAR, unlike PvP gear in WoW is GOOD FOR HEALERS. This to me is HUGE! I actually get Willpower on the RvR gear. In WoW the PvP gear is beyond useless to me because it is geared towards damage and really gimps your healing.

There really is no down time. While WoW is better than most of it's predecessors at the, WAR pretty much negates it completely. It's all hot action, all the time!

Quests always give you equipment for your class. None of this doing a long chain of anoying quests to get something useless.
