Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Preview
VideoGamer.com: When am I getting my console version?
PB: We had a good look at the console about two years ago. The position we ended up with was it would have to be a different game. That's basically where we ended up with our thinking. And then Mark basically went 'I don't want to think about it yet. Stop thinking about it'. If Mark wakes up and decides we're going to do a console version then you'll get one as fast as possible. Just write a letter direct to Mark. 'I would very much like a console version. Please please please make one. Make it for this console'. He'll probably write back to you then and let you know. He's very good like that. Read his blog.
VideoGamer.com: I have been. It's been entertaining reading in the last month or so.
PB: He's an entertaining guy!
VideoGamer.com: This close to launch there will still be some people who are still on the fence. What message do you have to those people?
PB: Are they WoW heads?
VideoGamer.com: Not necessarily. They might have played it in the past and might be waiting for the next expansion.
PB: It's easier to get into than ever. They're fun and compelling but they're definitively a hobby. It's a hobby experience. If you've got the time and you've got the inclination then they're great great fun. Give it a try.
VideoGamer.com: And if they're WoW heads?
PB: If they're WoW heads then I would say no item damage, no graveyard running, your bag gets bigger, you can customise your UI, the PvP is awesome, the PvE experience is still really really good, there's lots of cool dungeons, there's lots of grouping, and there's Squig Herders darn it, Squig Herders I say!
VideoGamer.com: That's great Paul thanks for your time.
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is due out for PC this Thursday.

In general the game has every stupid thing other MMOs have but multiplied 3times (at least).
1/ All advanteges that guys noted are unimportant things, lol@u
2/ In fact you need lot more time to play this game than to play WoW and that all with not even half fun. If you have life and still want to achieve something in game for fun, stay out of WAR! (no joke)
3/ Saying your game system is better than others proves everything! lol@u
4/ Dont know about USA situation but in Europe WAR is almost empty. GOA was mistake too again. Mythic had to know what ppl think about that GOA company since DAoC times!

Can't wait to try the game. I understand there is a lot less wasted time in this game and I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info Oli. I didn't know that quest items didn't take up any inventory space. That's pretty cool. I finally decided to quit leveling my professions and just level my ranks. It was all those dang seeds that were filling up my inventory.
Of course it was after I vendor trashed it all that I realized how easy it is to get to the capital city where I could have banked all that crap till I was ready to use it lol. Ah well.

Yep, I hit 10 last night and got a new set of bag slots. I guess that's sort of cool, but will suck in 2 months when I can't give an alt a bunch of 20 slot bags to start with. Currently my bags are always full. Which Paul's description was true and that they did increase in size as you filled them. Definitely not a deal breaker though. So far I'm lovin' this game.

Its not exactly as Paul says, you start with two twenty slot bags and you get an extra bag each 10 ranks, but the best thing is that all quest items automatically go into a separate unlimited sized bag and you can get your bags to auto-sort anything you pick up as well
