War is Everywhere

War is everywhere in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR), the new fantasy MMORPG from Mythic Entertainment, the creators of Dark Age of Camelot. WAR features next generation Realm vs. Realm gameplay that will immerse you in a world of perpetual conflict for years to come.

Experience the glory of Realm vs. Realm! Declare your allegiance and join hundreds of thousands of mighty heroes on the battlefields of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning to experience the epic nature of war. Enter a grim fantasy world where the armies of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and Empire) and Destruction (Greenskins, Dark Elves, and Chaos) collide to determine the fate of nations. Invade enemy lands, besiege imposing fortresses, and sack sprawling capital cities for the glory of your Realm. Wield devastating magic and deadly weapons, battle monstrous creatures, and join your brothers-in-arms in epic Public Quests. Climb the Bastion Stair, carry your Guild Banner into battle, and unlock the secrets of the Tome of Knowledge as you travel the world. Sharpen your blade and prepare to unleash your inner mutation-the Age of Reckoning has begun and WAR IS EVERYWHERE!

Key Features

Realm vs. Realm (RvR) gameplay means you will never fight alone, but as part of an army of allied players sworn to defend your homeland and conquer enemy Realms. Your every action-every quest completed, every battle fought-contributes to the war effort and can turn the tide of battle, bringing victory to your Realm!
Experience the camaraderie of fighting side-by-side with allied players against otherwise insurmountable odds in groundbreaking Public Quests. These cooperative PvE encounters unfold across multiple stages and allow solo players to experience the glory of RvR.
Embark on the endless quest to complete the Tome of Knowledge and unlock Warhammer lore, detailed monster information, new abilities and rewards, and major story plotlines. The Tome is also the story of your life in the game, tracking your achievements to share and compare with others.
Explore massive Living Cities that become more or less prosperous based on a Realm’s overall performance in the ongoing war. Navigate a maze of twisting streets, visit the local tavern, explore a dark under-city, and meet colorful personalities in a city full of adventure.
Advanced guild features give unprecedented control to leaders and members, and make guilds an integral part of the war efforts. Guilds can create unique heraldry, capture and claim keeps, and earn Guild Tactics as they grow in power along with their members.

- pretty sick game
It's a pretty sick game. The RvR is like no other... WoW can never beat the PvP aspects of this game. WotLK might beat it, but I've never played, and i dont think im going back to WoW. While all wow players grind their new levels and grind for gear and grind for gear, did i mention grind for gear? I will be slaughtering those pesky bright wizards.

dont get me wrong, WoW has great pve content... if you dont mind wiping hundreds of times and farming for gold. WAR is all about the RvR and ... Read More

- Great Game with tons of potential.
This game is a really great game. For those of you that are looking for a "WoW" type game this is not it, this game is for one thing and one thing only and that is RvR. Realm Vs Realm combat is something that Mythic has invented and mastered.

Warhammer online does not offer a super rich PvE experience just yet but they have made vast improvements since the launch of thisgame to balance things out, fix bugs, and just overall improvement.

There is a ways to go on the path ... Read More

- Pay to play beta!
The game has a lot of potential. It just feels like it was rushed onto store shelves. There are numerous in game bugs, and broken class mechanics, not to mention server population issues. Mythic has even decided to release two new classes before fixing the classes already in game. Give the game a year and it may be great, but until then expect a pay to play beta experience.

- Best MMO in years!
Warhammer Online is a great game. It's only been out for a short time now and already has over 1 million subscribers. The RvR (or Realm versus Realm) experience take player versus player combat to a new level. There's a game here for everyone, whether you like to play alone, with groups against the game or with groups against other people.

They are already about to release several new classes and we're not even 2-months into release.

I already bought a 6-month subscription ... Read More

- At least they patch it often....
It's not a very good game, the combat isn't fluid and it's boring to level (yes, WoW leveling is 100x more fun....)
