From what I saw from other players, and their reactions in-game...it was just to hard for the normal WoW player - gear did not matter as much as skill or tactics in PvP.

You could tell the WoW players but the constant jumping and running around you in circles.

In WAR, you stand still and beat them down ( your character auto looks at thier target...) while they miss while jumping ( jumping disrupts abilities )

Soo many of them left cos there great WoW skills were so useless.

I must admit i converted to warmachine a long time ago ( and Iron Kingdoms is now my RPG groups play of choice ). The BIG BIG Difference - they like Fan based items and actually SUPPORT them on THEIR website. like most old timers I drop GW when White Dwarf went bad and you had to by the new mini to match the new books.... Hopefully they will die off soon, or grow up and realise the only bankable thing there IP owns is the FANS
