TW.org on the other hand has an older and more advanced community with the good old "veterans" which remember the days of classical Total War. This helps contribute well to comparisons between the next generation of more RTS style TW games and the older type, the classical M:TW and S:TW. Another thing which is interesting about the Org is the ranking system, or more to the point, the lack of it! The system is wonderfully simplistic which enables a visitor to the site, at a quick glance, work out what sort of people the fellow they are looking at actually is rather than having to do a little research first.
Each site is equally good in their own regards, and rather than comparing them, we should focus on celebrating their differences, their individuality and the complex and inquisitive characters that make up each one's excellent and diverse community.
