For Attaba Rahim, the focal point of WAR is RvR play. EA Mythic’s goal was and is to create a brand new game with a unique PvP system that comprises entire armies. Rahim also said that WAR is more of an evolution rather than a revolution in MMOS because EA Mythic wants WAR to give players something different while, at the same time, retaining some familiar elements.

As to whether EA Mythic’s game is out to kick World of Warcraft‘s behind, Attaba Rahim said that EA Mythic’s primary goal is to not to beat WoW, but to deliver the best MMO ever through a balanced, eclectic mixture of PvE, PvP, and RvR features designed to appeal to all kinds of players. According to Rahim, making WAR an enjoyable experience for everybody is far more rewarding than just beating other MMOs at their own game.
