PCGamer has a big preview of WAR.

[Bloo]

Well, the title says it all, but I'd thought i'd give a few of the main points just to be nice

It's also been fleshed out a bit by other stuff i've read/watched etc...

- The graphical style matches the little plastic models, some might claim it looks a more realistic version of WoW, the guy from Mythic subtly points out that Blizzard has been copying Games Workshop for years (Warcraft 3 had a line by the Gryphon Riders that tongue-in-cheeks acknowledges it "My warhammer cost forty K, heh") and that they've had this slightly cartoony style for 25 years.
- It's dark as warhammer is, that is to say, DARK AND GRIM. But also very very funny, kinda like Kotor with HK-47. Dwarven corpses in Orc (Not Orks, there are no c's in the future, ONLY WAR!) regions have beards for example.
- We're not all going to look like clones, huzzah! You can put adornments on your armour like still beating hearts or skulls or (for silly goodies) articles of faith. Though i'm a little suspicious of this, there will probably be one or two UBER RARE ones that -everyone- gets and we'll still all be huge clones.
- Collisions detection, so badguys can't walk through the tank right to your squishy mage.
- Public Quests, you walk into an area, automatically get the quest, and just run around doing it, no need to find a party (folks are also doing it around you!) complete it and get shiny rewards depending on how much you helped, so it's not just for you, it's for everyone to have a group hug in!
- RvR, realm versus realm, the huge scale conflict going on, everything you do helps the war effort, at high levels you can ransack the enemy capital city and laugh in their faces. This goes on over weeks at a time and the better your side is doing, the more adorned and uber your own capital city becomes and this unlocks new merchants and new dungeons etc etc.
- All the usual jazz, tradeskills, PvP arena's, raids etc etc but less grinding boredom as everything you do has a purpose beyond self-improvement.

Hope that helps, also, if you want to whine about "WoW is better!" or "WoW will do this and that as well!" or even "Mwah WoW!" in any shape or form, Will you kindly fuck off.
