Dwarfs with Rifles

As I delved deeper into my WoW-burnout, I decided to level my long-lost dwarf hunter. A level 43 character isn't a bad place to start something new in the game. XP for BGs is a very useful thing of course. And it is nice to try another class in PvP. I like the sound of a rifle along with the power to gain frags without doing a lot - my gorilla is such a better fighter than me! But running Arathi Basin with my dwarf hunter reminded me of another character I used to play. He also was short and solid, he had a rifle, but instead of a gorilla he had a turret that went ka-pow. My engy...

Well poopy! I really hate myself for this. I feel that I now miss Warhammer Online (just like I used to miss WoW once). I guess that my WoW burnout is doing its thing. I'm looking for something else to play. I remember the frustration I had with WAR after a few months of playing, the amount of lag, the bugs and exploits. Terrible PvE, zoned world. Order. But the thing is, I'm now so much sick of doing the handful of BGs and a couple of dailies, that I sort of want to do some of the stuff I used to do in WAR: namely, PvP my socks off and forget that PvE ever existed. And why not go to WAR for a couple of weeks or a month or two? Maybe it is polished enough for it to be the game it should have been from the start?

I'm still torn on this. I haven't made up my mind about going back to WAR, while I wait for Blizzard to shake WoW with the Cataclysm. The concept of completely redoing Azeroth fascinates me completely. But for now, I'm bored with Northrend. And with WoW's PvP. I do have my doubts about Warhammer of course. I wonder if there are enough players involved in the game? Will I be one of the few non-40 characters and be forced to be running around all by myself? Are there any substantial changes to the game? I've got some thinking to do. There is one thing for certain: I have to take a nice long(ish) brake from WoW in order not to burn myself out to the point of no return. It is either giving WAR another try or quitting MMOs altogether for a while.

But the engy does look sexier than the hunter. Hmm...
