Warhammer Online vs. World of Warcraft

Warhammer Online visually does look a lot like World of Warcraft. There is no way to say that visually that these games do not look a lot alike. However, which game, Warhammer Online or World ofWarcraft will be the best?

So what will set Warhammer Online apart from World of Warcraft? RvR!!

If WAR does have a chance to overtake World of Warcraft in popularity, it will be because of the Warhammer RvR system.  RvR stands for Realm vs. Realm.  Players from the Warhammer Army of Order will battle with players of the Warhammer Army of Destruction.  These battles will be over contested territory and the game world will be impacted by whomever controls the territory.

I am really looking forward to RvR.  I love player versus player combat, but RvR sounds even better.  I am not sure if Warhammer Online will beat out World of Warcraft, but I am looking forward to it.
