Exactly. I've met plenty of interesting people through the hobby of varying ages, backgrounds and such.WaffleGod said:And why istn't it? You DO play with real people you actually meet you know. Also, why do people find miniature wargaming a nerd hobby?Rajin Cajun said:Yes because modeling space marines is such a stimulating activity for ones social life. Please do get serious.WaffleGod said:Shame that Games Workshop is basically just selling all it's products on the virtual market to stimulate it's tabletop market. Shame... now everybody who plays WH40K or WHFB (tabletop) will be associated with no life mmo players.
If you are given the chance to either say join a chapter as a marine after a certain point as a guardsman or go into kasrkin stuff or maybe go into armour/artillery kinda stuff that would be cool... that way every imperial starts as guard and are thus weak as hell till they can prove they're worth a better positionUltrajoe said:
Hey, wasnt The Lion killed by hes closet friend and second in command? Id call that a burn.Neosage said:
And the Wolf is doing one of two things, eithers hes dead after being sacrifcied to Khorne or else hes running around the Eye, naked with nothing but a combat knife. If its the first, pwned *****, if its the second, hes one of the most badass motherfuckers ever.
To be brutally honest. i would play a Warhammer 40k MMO if it was eyeball meltingly bad.
Just aslong as i can play as my beloved Necrons. Played soulstorm, saw the Flayed Ones, and went OH MY GOD! I WANT ONE! If they ever bring it out and you play as a commander of the race, ie Chaos Lord, Necron Lord, Tau Commander, it would be awesome. Necron Lord, with a big staff being followed around by flayed ones and Destroyers....Ahhh gives me a semi just thinking of it *embarassed*

Well when you put it that way it sounds weirder than it really is. But im way ahead of you. Kicked the WoW habit after 2 years of playing it.Neosage said:
When Warhammer Online was annouced i thought it was Warhammer 40k. Than they broke my heart and said no the other boring version of it.
Hope a good company makes it. Not EA...Or Ubisoft.
1. I'm worried it might be a huge fanwank for Space Marine fans
2. I'm worried it might butcher lore beyond recognition, in which case it's not much of a W40K game, but rather yet another generic MMORPG (granted, sci-fi MMOs are in short supply).
3. I'm worried only the humans might end up as playable.
Allow players to roll several races. Imperium, Eldar and Tau are the most obvious choices. For unit equivalence, use a squad system, where an Imperium player can roll a Space Marine or a Kasrkin squad. Or simply don't allow people to roll Space Marines and such, which would of course cause an uproar...
I could go on, but others have had much more to say on the subject already. I'm just VERY skeptical about the whole thing and it will likely fall into one (or both) of the traps I mentioned at the start of my post.

how bout you have it as you start out as an imperial guardsman and after many battles, enemies killed and experience gained a chapter or the emperor grants you the chance to partake in special space marine training, where as you get massive stat boosts and the famous space marine armour and weapons, or if you dont want to become a space marine you could continue on as an imperial guardsman into the higher ranks, such as a commisar or a karskin(sp?).
The same could work for other races, such as the eldar, you could work your way up from a lowly guardian and at certain levels or something you could be offered training in a certain aspect, e.g Striking Scorpions or Warp Spiders or Banshees or anything else, and maybe at the level cap or very high levels even train to become a farseer or warlock.
To stop the ganking of low level players they should level lock planets or certain areas, sure it would be annoying for some people not being able to go to that new planet and partake in a massive battle against a tyranid splinter fleet but its less annoying than getting there and dieing like 20 times and doing no damage to any1 because of their higher levels than you.
What do people think of that idea?

IG: Start as a basic grunt in a squad, lvl10 or so become commander of the squad, specialize and add to the ranks as your squad levels, eventually getting to elite stuff like flamers and Basilisks. Plays ala Battalion Wars/Republic Commando.
