I turned to this game once shortly after it was released as a break from WoW. I have always found the Warhammer Fantasy world compelling so I couldn't wait-- until I found it was mainly PvP. There was PvE content but that was not the focus. What a shame. Honestly I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
