WAR Report, Fizzled Out

229 words.

Okay well I cancelled my WAR subscription and uninstalled it.  Mrs. Krehbiel was starting to get annoyed and it was way too much of an uninspiring game to try to defend it. :)  I should have stuck with my personal ban on EA games I guess.  It’s kind of a huge disappointment when a game released in 2008 is basically an exact clone of a game released way back in 2004.  You wouldn’t think it would be possible for there to be even less innovation in the gaming industry, but there you go.

To wrap things up, my witch hunter got to level 20 and bought a horse (which is basically the halfway point since there’s a level 40 cap), and the game did not become even a tiny bit more fun.  In fact it kept getting worse, because the higher your level gets, the faster you run out of quests and the more grinding you have to do.  And you can forget about gaining experience by going into scenarios:  Even if that was a fun thing to do, I wasn’t able to get into a scenario for days on a low population server.  I didn’t time it exactly, but I must have been in queues for well over an hour without any response.  By that point, I’d have to log out or switch characters to relieve the boredom.
