Warhammer Wiki Online - Age of Reckoning

One of the most anticipated games of 2008 isn't Wrath of the Lich King, and its not the already released Age of Conan. It is Warhammer Online, which has been delayed multiple times and really reworked from the ground up by EA Mythic.

This game is going to solely based on masive multiplayer PvP action, in clan versus clan and even World (read server) versus server embattlement. To a PvP lover such as myself, I love an ever changing battle, one that is not scripted, and requires players to make smart decisions with catlike reflexes. Warhammer seems to fit this bill quite nicely.

This is a game type that Blizzard has never been able to commit to with World of Warcraft, as the game is mired in PvE content... which I have also come to love over time. However no game has tantalized my senses as much as Warhammer, they have been teasing me for a year and half with this game... and the payoff is close at hand finally.

I had delayed taking action after hearing that players who purchase the Warhammer: Age of Reckoning Collector's Edition would get guaranteed access to the upcoming open beta. Finally yesterday I went in search of a copy... only to find that they were all sold out at the major retailers listed on the Warhammer website.

After a diligent search I did find a copy for myself. This has only been available for Pre-order for a mere week, and with an exorbitant cost over and above the normal game of an extra $40. So its easy to see I am not the only one very excited about this game.

Players will most likely flock to Warhammer, just as they did with Age of Conan... in fact I would venture to guess that Warhammer will break AoC's record of release date subscriptions and first month subscriptions!
