Vanguard or Warhammer?

EQ2 is kinda over for me, and was looking into some new games, vanguard or warhammer? Just looking for something new, enjoy the raiding aspect of EQ2, and don't wanna degrade myself to play WoW. Recommendations?

Age of Conan...

Warhammer is great if the absolute most important thing to you is PvP. If it is not than the clear choice is Vanguard.

Warhammer doesn't even technically have PvE raids. I use technically a bit loosely here but you get the point.

whats vanguard? oh... you mean that dead game which kinda performed just like horizons?

Vanguard. And ignore the opinion on it from anyone who hasn't played it in the last 6 months, and especially the last couple months. It is nothing like it was on launch.

Vanguard. Warhammer has ok pvp and crappy pve. Also the motivation to push to the end game is kinda stupid since the end game gear has absolutely crap stats. The only reason you'd want it is for the hidden wards that work only in pve content as well. I find this concept highly flawed.

I myself will try wow tho. /shrug Can't see any other game that meets my requirements.

If you are playing Warhammer for Gear or PvE then yes you are playing the wrong game. Although the fights against Heroic bosses are somewhat enjoyable the first couple times the game is almost entirely focused on PvP.

If you are a PvP'er at heart that rarely did any of the PvE content in other games anyways and would sometimes bitch about how a lesser skilled player beat you because of their insane "end game" gear... then Warhammer is the game for you. Although obviously it still has some bugs it needs to work out.
