Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Publisher : EA
Developer : Mythic Entertainment
Release date : September 18th 2008

Info


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.
Drawing from a quarter century of highly detailed source material, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning brings Games Workshop's fantasy world to life in a way that will allow players to create characters destined for great deeds and glory on the field of battle

Maurader is the Choas Melee DPS (Easy Mode), Witch Elf is the Dark Elves DPS, Witch Hunter is Empire DPS, and White Lion is High Elves DPS.

Game discussion. It looks awsome.

I think I will be on the side of Order and roll a Runic Priest or whatever they are called. Game looks great. For any WoW player obsessed with their T6 and sunwell gear, think they should quit and try Warhammer.

You got it good. The queues on the server I am in are always around 30 minutes. :(

piootr: Public quests are great, though I barely do them. Classes are not balanced 1v1 due to the fact it is not supposed to be. As for servers most servers have more destro.

That is a clear point there to distinguish in this game. Game balance is based on Realm v Realm not class v class. Its made so that if majority of classes are represented on each side it is balanced. There is an effective tank, melee, melee support, range, range support for each side. The game is balanced with class specific, class based balance. Meaning this is not a World of Warcraft where you have a lock that is a mage, a tank, and a hunter all in one class. The balance is based on the assumption you are playing a MASSMIVE MULTIPLAYER, notan arena stroke our penis game.
