*snicker* C'mon MFD.. Fight crime in style! And yes, mounts can't beat flight.. Moreso because if you get hit hard enough while riding you're knocked right off your mount. It sucks! So FZ... What are you going to do when the freebie runs out? |

Yes, I like fantasy. And Warcraft is different enough to not really be generic, at least in my opinion. At least, I like fantasy more than I like generic superheroes. See, the word 'generic' works both ways... |

Apparently you are... My CoH Mind Tricks don't work on Mordy, it seems. Time for plan B... Which is, compose a Plan C to execute... And what am I going to do when the freebie runs out? Cry bitter tears of sadness. Actually, I'm going to save up my money, and get CoH... In a few months. I'm waiting at LEAST for Release 5 to come out, and possibly for City of Villains to come out too, so August/September would be the soonest I get it. |

Superheroes is a subgenre of Fantasy... so, no. I see superheroes as modern day myths... and that's hella intriguing. |

Warcraft has a great sense of humor about it, really. C'mooon.. The dwarven fishing pole still makes me giggle! Not as much as the goblin one though.. Dynamite! And hell... I just wanna be a superhero for a little while, that's all! |

heh. Yeah. Fighting monsters is cool, but there's nothing better than crashing a mob of Outcasts each a level higher than you, and whupping ALL their asses! Or when one of the games Bosses come out... like DevilFish, Babbage, The Ghost Ship.... |

Frostfire, ugh... Damn Elite Boss. I thought he was a Blaster, no one warned me he was a Controller that could freeze you in place and summon mobs of Imps and Frost things... But the boss battles are damn epic in that game. Highly rated. And fantasy is okay, but I think it's overdone, I'm not THAT big a fan of it... |

Superhero is a very different subgenre of fantasy than the much more 'classical' fantasy that Warcraft emulates, so, yes. Besides, at least Warcraft has a history, a past, and a pretty interesting story behind it. That's nice, and I've never even played any of the other games because I'm awful at RTS. I'm not saying CoH is bad, but people putting Warcraft down because it's 'just generic fantasy' irritates me... CoH requires one to have already been a superhero fan, pretty much, in which case you can only emulate the icons that already exist. I was a very mild one, and am not particularly interested... |

That was written for the MMO. Warcraft has been building for over a decade. Not saying it's better or worse, just that it wasn't put together JUST for the MMO. |

Parts of which they've thrown away for the MMORPG for no reason at all. The sudden incapability of the Horde and Alliance to understand each other, am I the only one baffled by this? And it's not like they've been building up all this time for the MMORPG. They're just cashing in like everyone else on the trend by expanding on all the previous games. Just because each game, that plays and feels differently each time, has a thinly connected backstory that's been made up as they go along (Do you relly think when Warcraft 1 came out, they were sitting around saying, "Okay, we're going to make this a series. And in THIS game, we're going to have these races all pop out of thin air when we have never seen or heard of them before."), doesn't mean it has some sort of grand epic history they've been planning. |

OKay children, let's not play the "bash each others' MMO" game. It's like fighting over which system is better, makes no damn sense. So stop it. *slaps you both ont he wrist* In other news, I finally got to play Prince of Persia WW the other day.... And I am utterly disappointed in everything but the gameplay. |
