WAR and Daoc are not "all out PvP" o.O It is my opinion and that of the devs as you can find their comments on the subject repeatedly -- WAR is about RvR which is not PvP in the sense we've come to know it (ffa, gank fests, open, no rules, yadda yadda).
The difference is RvR is goal and team orientated. Your objective is not to slaughter other players but to achieve the taking of landmarks. In this case its things like towers and keeps, and eventually capital cities. Working as one realm (faction, kingdom, etc) to make advances towards the end goal.
Bought the parts and built two sweet computers just for this game. *puurrr* We're ready for WAAGH!!!
And Spore soon! Except Spore's DRM is supposed to suck.
Last I heard it just checks via an online connection every 10 days or so. Did they change it again?
Kajy, Warhammer Online's pretty much an all out PvP game... The creators also made Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) which is RvR (Realm vs Realm, or Continent vs Continent if you will...). Warhammer Online is based on Warhammer, the card/figurine/paper based RPG... I've never played Warhammer, but I have seen it in comic shops.
