Um, Online game much?

Now I know it has been a long time since I've done a blog relating to new technologies but really, I cant say I have been keeping up to date with new stuff recently anyway. Recently I have been encountering many close encounters of the WoW kind. Yeap it looks like after 4 months of having not played a single minute of the game , it appears to me that my body needs a fix. New patches and one of my best mates talking about how he did Kara last night and what dropped, has been fueling my desire to start my relationship up with Meltor again. (my level 70 fire mage)

However.
Whilst nearly buying a new wow time card and reawakening the wow nerd within me. I got into a conversation with one of the EB employees about how his boss was invited to play test a new MMORPG, Warhammer Online. Age of Reckoning or just WAR. He told me that his boss up until the Beta invite for WAR was a massive wow nerd, level 70's for each class, fully epic gear blah blah blah, but when he started playing WAR he was fully blown away about how childish wow looks in comparison not just graphical but apparently everything that wow does war does ten times better. 
At this statement I was a little bit skeptical but then I read up a little bit and went over the few small years of when I was interested in the Warhammer franchise. 
Firstly I already know how huge Warhammer is and I would safely say that there would be a few million subscribers just joining for their love of all things warhammer-ry. 
Also for the people whom say that there are too few class's avalanche in wow they will be happy to learn that there are at least 5 class for each race and there are apparently there are at least 3 races for each army. 
PVP is meant to be much bigger in WAR and actually decide events in real time, like storming a enemy's castle or raiding a port. 
When I think of wow I tend to think of massive griding marathons which bore me to tears.
In war apparently they want to try and rid the game of as much unnecessary grinding as possible. So as I just mentioned the pvp aspect will not just be for honor badges or points, it could be for new territory , siege weapons, mounts, and of course quests. With this said the pvp aspect of war seems much more inviting than wow.
Also in wow it kind of annoyed me that there was very little collision detection.
Warhammer Online features collision detection, a feature that is meant to stop players from moving through other player characters. So this will enhances the role played by heavily armored characters because it helps them become far more efficient at holding choke points and protecting weaker players in their group such as healers and casters which would be a very welcome feature in wow. For me at least.

Yet the biggest , interesting feature is that the game seems to promise itself on being about nothing but combat with the enemy, none of this “I'm going to grind the same 8 hour raid for months so I can finally get my epic weapon/gear so I can just use it in boring auto combat just like I was doing 40 levels ago for exactly the same reason and to use it in a imaginary war that we never fight and the enemy never actually does anything against us”, stance that wow does.
However saying that I guess it comes down to the fact that while wow is really nothing new in terms of game play at all it does have a certain charm to it. I must say that I have played a fair few computer games and a few of them have been mmorpg's nothing has touched wow on terms of epicness and nothing has kept me playing for longer.

Blah blah 
losing track,

OK
My final thoughts about how WAR could dethrone WoW.
Realm vs Realm Combat.
Very few quests involving non combat with your racial/army enemy.
Much larger interactive storyline. WAR defienlty will have a much larger scale to it story wise.
(Think of the amount of fanboys just waiting to get into this game).
Characters and class's will be much more customizable (think of wearing a skull of your slaughtered enemies as a trophy, as said before all the class will be about combat even the support class's(think warrior priests)

More To come with this I guess, my brain has left me.
Sorry for the horrible grammar and spelling.
