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.

Product Description

War is everywhere in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, the new fantasy MMORPG from the creators of Dark Age of Camelot. Warhammer Online features next generation Realm vs. Realm (RvR) game play that will immerse players in a world of perpetual conflict for years to come. Based on the famous Games Workshop licence created 25 years ago, the popular Warhammer fantasy world is one of the most elaborated to date.

Dominated by force of arms and magic, Warhammer Online provides a rich setting for players to experience the glory of battle and the epic nature of a war ravaging the Old World. Players can experience many different kinds of adventures, with the chance to play together as a group or individually, through different types of PvP (Player vs Player) or PvE (Player vs Environment). Every aspect of the game - every player, every quest, every encounter, and every battle - can turn the tide of the ongoing war and mean victory for your Realm!

  • Fight for the Realms of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and Empire) or Destruction (Greenskins, Dark Elves, and Chaos) in a war being waged across thirty-three massive battlefields.
  • Take part in Realm vs. Realm warfare and battle for the supremacy of your realm! With an army of allied players at your back, you will defend your homeland, invade enemy realms, and ultimately lead the siege of your enemy's Capital City.
  • For the first time ever, players can engage in Public Quests - multi-stage, communal quests to be completed by allied players fighting together against overwhelming odds.
  • Embark on an epic quest to complete the Tome of Knowledge, a veritable encyclopaedia of the game, and unlock Warhammer lore, detailed monster information, new abilities and rewards, and major story plotlines.

    Please note: this game is played online only; you'll need an Internet connection, plus a credit card for registration

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch my chops!, 19 Sep 2008
By G. Thomas (Canterbury UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I've been a long term WoWer since way before "The Burning Crusade" and finally the grinding and ennui got to me. Our guild fell apart and we scattered to the winds. Since then I've been in limbo; playing a bit of this and a bit of that but nothing was filling the restless empty space left by Warcraft.

I'm certainly not a PvP fan but I thought I might as well give this Warhammer thingy a go. One free month should tell me whether I like it or not. After the compulsory MMORPG long installation, regulation registration bottleneck and pre-patching there was a strange half hour when I couldn't get the login screen to accept any of my registered details. I didn't panic but calmly re-installed the game and this time it seemed to work and I was finally in the game (Neither time did disc 2 appear to be loading but it obviously must have been).

After choosing a server and creating a Goblin Squig Herder it must have taken me all of one whole hour to discover my new true-love.

This game is fun: that's F.. U.. N fun. Everything I was missing is here. I don't play for personal glory, I don't play for "epixx", and I don't play for the unsavoury thrill of competition. I play for those moments when you have an insane grin across your chops and chaos reigns all around. I even played some PvP (RvR?) which I never did in WoW and I loved it.
I'm enjoying the obvious newness and total inclusiveness of everything. Everyone mucks in and you are rewarded purely for your own efforts. Public Quests are true genius, no more LFG just join in and do your thing

OK, I base this on only my first seven hours in Warhammer Online but those seven hours have overshadowed the last 7 months in Warcraft. (Edit: Four days in and I love it even more) There's no guarantee that the things that ruined WoW for me will not appear here....goldsellers, boredom, twinking, grinding, elitists and other general idiots but Warhammer seems to have set the game up in such away that many of these evils are compensated for by the game mechanic itself.
Most of all its new and exciting right now and my insane smile is most definitely back.

another edit: Well it's approaching a month since launch day and I can happily report that some reviewer's concerns about GOA have been totally unfounded. I've experienced no server problems whatsoever.
Additionally, I discovered (from an incident last night) that Mythic is exceptionally pro-active when it comes to ridding Warhammer of goldsellers. In fact I'm so impressed that I need to add another star now :)

3.0 out of 5 stars A tale of two cities.., 14 Mar 2009
By A. C. De Panama "Lysix" (Eastbourne, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I've been playing this on and off for a while now, and while I can say that Warhammer, at its core is a good game, it also lacks the basic fundamentals that make it something I'd willingly play over a large period of time.

Everybody knows that this game is RvR, pure and simple. And when RvR works, it works great. Logging in to see hordes of your fellow race charging downwards into the battle is inspiring, and no sooner are you in there yourself killing pesky dwarves (or goblins!). The battles are fun, can wage for hours and give a great feeling of belonging as your side pushes further forward. Keep seiges are amazing, defending your castle and repelling the invaders is fantastic fun and retaliating with your own attack is satisfying as you capture their base.
Unfortunately, this only works when there are people to play it with. Sometimes you may login to find nothing happening. Maybe a few players fighting there, a random enemy player down there. With a game like this you NEED other players. Without players, there is no RvR. Without RvR, there is no Warhammer Online.

PvE players will simply feel disappointed by the uninspiring content provided. Instances are shoddily constructed and quests feel a little bare, as if they've been added just to shut you up. New armour may look good at first, until you see everybody else has it too. At least you can dye your wares, a feature that World of Warcraft should've added a long time ago.

In terms of presentation, the game falls short once again. The music is the same WHEREVER you go. The same, droning repetitive drums. You would think moving from the Goblin marshes to the elegant forests of the High Elves would warrant a soother, string based sound. NOPE, drums drums and more war drums.
Graphics feel a little dated. Everything feels old. And considering it doesn't look that good, even on low settings you will find playing this game difficult. RvR battles can consist of up to 50+ per side, and unless you have a brand new top of the range PC, you're in for a rough ride.

To put it simply, this game feels unfinished. Obviously, reviewing an MMO only six months into its lifespan is unfair and unjust, and I'm sure later on Mythic will flesh the game out to its full potential. But as of writing, it feels empty. Like it's missing something. It's a shame, because Warhammer Online could be something great, but it falls short in marks for lack of PvE content, unoriginal presentation and frustrating instancing. Why do I have to be instanced to save my city?

Play the trial, don't just jump into this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Closed and Open beta overview: very good and improving, 16 Sep 2008
By David Whewell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
First off, there are a large number of people on here giving this game 1 star, on the basis that the open beta registration was not available for the first couple of days. That is not a basis to judge a game on, and the war forums were similarly full of people whining that their "free trial" was not working properly. That's what a beta is for.

Personally, I was in the closed beta for 2 months, then in the open beta and now early access. Closed beta users did not have the same registration problems as people who were only in the open beta.

To not reiterate the people who have stated how the game is structured and/or how it differs to WoW, I'll point you toward a high ranked, verbose comment about that. I will point out that the game is one hell of a lot of fun, and has been improving with startling speed during the beta period.

It is true to the lore of warhammer (being a long-time WFRP player/gm, I appreciate that), the classes are particularly diverse to play, with many different mechanics for using their powers.

The graphics in the early betas were a little poor, especially texture-wise. Now, they are close to Age of Conan level, very nice. The architecture in particular is remeniscent of each race, very well.

It really is two full games, one RvR one PvE, while WoW is a PvE game with a little PvP tacked on. The variety of abilities is greater, not only do you have your action bar but you have tactics loadouts, morale-triggered abilities as well. While I haven't seen instances yet (they seem thin on the ground at low levels), that will be the test of whether it's as good as WoW for PvE environments.

Oh, and crafting is a LOT of fun with somewhat random elements being thrown in. E.g. want to make a potion? You don't find a "recipe" and fulfil it, you throw things together and see what comes out. Sometimes it's what you expect, sometimes it isn't!

The open beta launch in Europe was poor, but the early access launch was great. Those who complain the most probably do not remember the launch of WoW (I was in the beta for that also) which had many, many extended periods of downtime, after launch as well. GOA have said they're learning from the experience, they should be judged on their continued support, not just one episode.

To anybody who enjoys MMORPGs, this is a full-on adrenaline rush of a game. The RvR is great, the way RvR and PvE integrate is exceptionally well done. In particular, the atmosphere has come alive since Early Access, with a lot more people around, and generally it seems a more mature class of player. Get in there, smash some heads together and enjoy!
