EA releases WAR for the Mac

Now people who own Macs can experience the wasteland and boredom of playing a MMO without any other players around!

I liked DAOC...A LOT, but they ruined WAR.

In WoW if you start a new character you at least see other people, even higher levels, running around lower level areas. The way WAR was designed, if you start a new character you never see ANYONE until you hit the level cap. It's a single player MMO until level 40 and that's no fun.

Except with content that is impossible to do since there are no players around. They designed the public quests to require large groups of players, and it's pretty much the core content in leveling for the most part.

Manabyte is right to an extent - but it's not the philosophy that sucked. The first few weeks where there were a lot of players running around the T1 and T2 areas you could get a lot of stuff done.

The problem was that after the initial wave of players, there were no new players to populate the lower tiers. If they'd had a steady stream of new players it wouldn't be as bad.

There's also no reason for anyone to make alts.

Also if you made an alt then you were taking away time from getting your renown rank to 80.

Seeing as how they are still doing more server merges the game doesn't have much life left. With another round of merges there is no way in hell the game has 300k active subscribers. He'll my old DAOC guild that moved to WoW and then to WAR have already quit.
