Summary: Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR) is set to launch on September 18, 2008, across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. This game, deeply rooted in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, promises relentless conflict and immersive player-versus-player (PvP) experiences. But can it dethrone the reigning champion, World of Warcraft (WoW), and become the new leader in the fantasy MMORPG genre?
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR) is poised for a global release on September 18, 2008. This highly anticipated MMORPG, developed by Mythic Entertainment (now part of EA Games), is set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, a world renowned for its perpetual conflict. The game promises a unique blend of player-versus-player (PvP) and realm-versus-realm (RvR) combat, but the burning question remains: Can WAR surpass World of Warcraft (WoW) and claim the throne of the MMORPG genre?
Both WAR and WoW draw inspiration from their respective strategy game backgrounds, sharing several similarities:
Despite these similarities, WAR aims to distinguish itself through its emphasis on PvP and RvR combat.
In WAR, the entire game world is a battlefield. Players engage in PvP combat with tangible consequences, such as losing their main city or guild-held territories like Keeps (castles). Success in PvP is rewarded with victory points, land, better skills, and even statues erected in the likeness of top players.
WAR's focus on PvP and RvR sets it apart from other fantasy MMOs. Players must harness their inner warrior, improve their response times, and master Warhammer macros to advance. This competitive nature is designed to appeal to players who thrive on conflict and strategy.
Mythic Entertainment, the creators of WAR, are also known for Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC), another game that featured RvR battles. In DAoC, players chose between opposing factions and engaged in large-scale battles, including castle sieges and "zerg" fights involving over 100 players. WAR builds on this legacy, offering an even more immersive and strategic PvP experience.
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning promises a unique and immersive PvP experience, setting it apart from other fantasy MMORPGs. With its emphasis on realm-versus-realm combat and the legacy of Mythic Entertainment, WAR has the potential to challenge World of Warcraft's dominance. However, only time will tell if it can truly become the new king of the MMORPG genre.
