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.

Rating: - Does the £17 versrion include 1month Key?
Hello, I was wondering if the £17 version of the game (sold here) includes the 1 month subscription key?

If not, what about the £23 versions? Do they include it?

Thanks alot.

Rating: - Great potential, but very bad support!
I buyed this game right when it has been launched in Europe. I did not try the beta, I just played the release version.

Gameplay:
+many ways to level up: quests, public quests, RvR (= realm vs. realm, yes you get experience from doing PvP)
+nice way to find a group, you just jump in
+interesting areas
+most quests are nice for solo, but also nice for party play, the quest areas where you have to go to are marked on the map, that makes PvE life a lot easier

Rating: - meh
I bought this game the other week. Fortunately i waited for the September release and consequently had none of the logging in nightmare others seem to have had. I should point out that i'm only level 12 so i probably haven't seen all the game has to offer, still i cant help feeling slightly dissapointed. The quest system is easy enough to use although half the time i dont bother reading them. The dead mob counter next to the map is enough to tell me i am doing the Emporer's will. Because of this lack ... Read More

Rating: - Good, but good enough?
I had thought that this might have been the game to break my WOW habit, but I decided not to renew my subscription after the first month, WAR is a pretty good game, but needs more polish in lots of areas.

In WAR each race has it's own individual classes, for example if you want to play as an Ironbreaker, you'll have to be a dwarf. While this might have seemed a good idea in planning, it actually makes the character choice seem more restrictive than in similar games, even though there are ... Read More

Rating: - Really nice at the first glance - after two weeks - BOOOOOORING!
Like I said really cool at the beginning, nice looking, sometimes hangs on my 4870, but from the middle of tier2 it is just boooring like hell.. and this is my opinion. You don't have to read quests to perform them - just go, kill, pick, find come back - so booring!
