A WoW Player's Guide To Warhammer 353
With Warhammer Online just around the corner, Zonk wrote up a guide which compares it to the current top dog of the MMO market, World of Warcraft. He highlights the fact that despite the appearance of "War" in both names, Warhammer is much more focused on the struggle between factions, in gameplay and artistic style. Warhammer's open beta started on Sunday, doing well in the US but stumbling in Europe. The full version launches on Sept. 18th, but people who pre-order the game will be able to access live servers up to four days before, thanks to Mythic's head-start program. Mythic CEO Mark Jacobs recently launched a blog to answer questions about the game.

No more "we don't need a tank, we need a healer" rejections.
We always just said that because you were a sucky tank and couldn't keep mobs off the casters.
Would that translate well? (Score:5, Funny)

I started reading your post, and the Mac vs PC ad music started playing in my head.
Then PC guy asks Mac guy what he's playing over there.
Mac guy responds, "Oregon Trail, it's totally awesome!"
PC guy says "Oh really? I'm playing all the new 3d games. In spite of your lame attempts to undermine me by beating old perceptions like a dead horse, I still hold a significant market share over you. As such, nobody wants to support you. Sure, you're popular among trendy college students with rich parents, but you'll eventually be sold when they drop out of school because they spend too much time on digg. "
Mac guy starts crying.
PC Guy: "I'm sorry, that was a little harsh."
Mac Guy: "No, it's not you. Alice died of tuberculosis."
Cue Mac VS PC ending jingle.
