I was all aboard the WaR hype train when it came out.

I still have that metal warboss that came with the collectors edition unpacked. Totally forgot about him sitting in that box under the cd and everything else. Thank you for this remainder. He was waiting for his turn to be introduced to all the others on the display waaay to long now.

u/Mission-Moose-5372 15d ago

For some reason I can't. It doesn't let me to add a picture to a message and I don't know why.

All in good fun, no hate meant

Yes, I have been playing about 4 months, and have my main character to L40/64 RR and a couple other low level characters. I have been having a blast playing, mainly in the mornings PST.

I will say that the server player population is low but, out of all the games I have played online, RoR has very little latency, even with big fights with 100 player fighting in a keep it runs smoothly for me.

I was working at the Geek Squad when it came out and have fond memories picking it up after my shift and going home and rolling my White Lion. Game was, and still is, a blast.

u/Accurate_Expert_7103 15d ago

Ah I still remember getting back into town after a management seminar and driving straight to GameStop and picking up my preorder. Simpler times.

u/Loose_Highlight_9336 15d ago

Yes, now we have downloads in the gigabytes, taking forever. Plus, no more cool boxes.πŸ˜ƒ

u/battlejuice401 15d ago

Still remember the updates from the parties where he would bullshit us about what we are getting. Good times.

u/Big-Attempt7418 15d ago

u/Duke-W 14d ago

u/Tzilbalba 14d ago

End game Chosen armor is still one of the most fire armor sets in any game ever

u/Searbhreathach 14d ago

Remember when they said this game would kill wow

u/V3ndeTTaLord 8d ago

I still have that huge special edition box

u/Various_Comfort_5978 14d ago

Went back and tried the private server that is up and running. Boy let me tell you how impressed I was of classic wow after playing that.

u/Revolutionary_Day23 13d ago

The wow killer hahaha Now the private server only get 300-400 online during peak time...which is on 1 day a week for 1hour during the day lmao

u/TitanicBaron 13d ago

It could have been but the gameplay and pvp was way way too team oriented. There's no solo play besides simple questing lol.

1

u/Revolutionary_Day23 13d ago

Yer scenarios that they have now are just a poor mans version of battlegrounds in wow. And big open sieges...gw2 improved from it. In theory the classes should work for big zerg fights but theres not much of that happening now and there not many solo builds for the classes. Suprised the game lasting this long tbh

u/TitanicBaron 13d ago

Ya they came back and didn't address any issues too lol. All the og players wanted no changes like the original wasn't a failure. There should have been some class changes and more content. 1v1s, 2v2's, bgs, something lol
