A WoW Player's Guide To Warhammer

With Warhammer Online just around the corner, Zonk wrote up a guide which compares it to the current top dog of the MMO market, World of Warcraft. He highlights the fact that despite the appearance of "War" in both names, Warhammer is much more focused on the struggle between factions, in gameplay and artistic style. Warhammer's open beta started on Sunday, doing well in the US but stumbling in Europe. The full version launches on Sept. 18th, but people who pre-order the game will be able to access live servers up to four days before, thanks to Mythic's head-start program. Mythic CEO Mark Jacobs recently launched a blog to answer questions about the game.

Re:Attention developers;

I'd phrase that differently:

• Buy Windows if you don't care about stability or security and think being exploited by malware is cool.
• Buy Mac if you value form over function.
• Acquire Linux if you like to tinker with stuff.

Except under certain circumstances where DRM is platform-dependent, OS just doesn't matter all that greatly. I certainly won't let an application dictate the OS I use under most circumstances, and it doesn't slow me down any.
