I've been playing wow for at least 1year and a half but i have never heard of warhammeronline until 1 week ago 
and looks pretty well... Its well known that Blizzard is a huge name in the gaming world(maibe wow got better promoted-the net pages are swarming with adds and other crap) and this could be a reason ...
What about EVE online? Thats a pretty unique and awesome game(very complicated for a begginer, dull and liniar quests) with cool graphics, efects and moreover a single server with lots and i mean LOTS of players 
.
I played Lineage II, Silkroad and Perfect World (the 3 of them give me the same feeling ingame, so i suppose they are alike) and its incomparable to Wow ... the terrains and colors may look more realistic but the controls, variety of spells and quests, the teamwork in a party, the rafinament of the environment(in all 3 of the mentioned games u get blocked by a simply stone or in P.world when you climb on a house or many other objects you will notice that the character has 1foot between him and object -> this rly makes my eyes hurt) can't touch Wow.
I want 2 play a new and cool mmorpg(got bored of wow) !
