I got my WAR discs Yesterday at around 3:30PM or so. (Its 1:40AM here atm)

I quickly went to install it and create an account but I couldn't create my account until midnight. Boo Hiss. So I went back to doing everything I had to do yesterday and at midnight I went through the account creation process.

After that I was able to log-in and start patching. The patch was a pretty decent size but patching was quick and there were no issues. I was a little bit unsure of what to expect and was a little worried that I might not like the game.

Ever heard the WoW thing "You had me at Zug-Zug.", I think maybe its a female orc /flirt. WAR had me at..Well...This:

So. Awesome. I always thought Blizzard had the best cinematics, but this is definitely up there in quality. I loved it, and I especially liked that what I would be playing (Race/Class (Whatever classes are called in this game. I should RTFM.)) was displayed in all its glory right there.

I've decided that I'm going to be a Chaos Chosen. Here is why:

Tzeentch expects his Champions to be both ferocious warriors and cunning tacticians. As a result, Chosen who excel in these areas are granted profane rewards. These Dark Gifts allow the Chosen to manipulate the ruinous power of Chaos itself. While this provides them with ever greater strength, it also continually strips away any remnants of humanity that may still reside in the dark recesses of their memories. These Dark Gifts supplement the warrior?s awesome martial skills, increasing their durability, strength and even allowing them to harness the Winds of Magic.

Above all else, as a Chosen Champion, you will seek the esteem of Tzeentch. Yours is an arduous path, forever seeking out greater glory in the eyes of the Raven God by playing a crucial role in his terrible schemes and cruel manipulations. Encased in a blasphemous panoply of heavy armor, you will endeavor to place yourself on the front line of every battle, where you will bring to bear the power of your Dark Gifts against your foes. You will also often be called upon to protect the insignificant or the weak, not as an act of compassion, but rather in service to the inscrutable machinations of your treacherous god.

Seriously, how awesome is that? Thats just awesome.

Pros:
Completely Awesome
Everything I ever wanted in a warrior type class
Have I mentioned they sound completely awesome?

Cons:
Have to be a male character. (Though the male "human" (They look human) models in WAR aren't as hideous as the ones in WoW..So its ok!)

I'm not entirely sure which server I'll be playing on yet (I hope to play on the same server as some friends of mine, and I don't know which server they're going to be on.) so I didn't make my Chosen yet. No point in leveling something up a couple levels just to start over as the same thing. So I made a caster type character and played around with that for a bit.

The graphics are nice, the interface is great, the camera and controls (Something I have HUGE issues with in RPGs) are good too. The combat system is a lot like WoW's...as are the controls and camera and...pretty much everything. The quest interface is better than WoW's by far, at least I think so. So far I'm loving it.

You'll know more when I know more!
