WoW killer- No, but it is better in a lot of respects.
By J. J. Marino
This review is of Beta and of the initial 2 days of release, there are numerous fine reviews further down and I suggest you check them out!
—-
Let me commence out this review saying I am addicted to MMO’s.I was in beta for Ultima Onlina, Everquest, Anarchy Online, SWG and WoW. I then went on to play each MMO for assorted hundred hours if not days. I played WoW for at least 20-40 hours per week for 4 years. My characters averaged 40 days played. That being said (not to brag but to say I recognise WoW), here is my review of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
If there were any times that you played an MMO and thought that, something was missing… I am sure that the folks over at Mythic Entertainment thought the very same things. As the torchbearers for RVR or Realm vs Realm battle they comprehend how to do an MMO right from the beginning. What Mythic did was to build a game where the player vs player was not an afterthought to keep high levels occupied, rather it IS the game. After you are more or less acquainted with the interface you are then thrown head-long into battle. War is all around and they mean it. This game is regarding fantasy WAR and not with regards to phat lewt, (although there is that sorta, more on this later).
Another feature that is built in is the aweinspiring Tome of Knowledge. If you ever downloaded addons for WoW for use as a record keeper then you will know how this feature works. The actually cool part is that this tome is applied as a bragging tool and it likewise unlocks reputation titles. It keeps a record of the number of mob x you have slain, the number of sales to merchants and so on. You’ll have to see it to totally get the power of this tool.
Another outstanding feature is the open group system. Being I am closely 40 years old and have 2 kids of my own, the last thing I want to do is log in and be begging for groups with pre-teen jerks angry at the world because a good deal of girl turned them down for a date…etc. How the open group scheme works is there are areas you may be running through and need to kill “X” monster. Well just run into that area and do a group lookup. You will see who is there what step they are on and bam! you may join them. You don’t even need to talk to them “omg roxx0rz!”…. As long as you participate in the quest and don’t just stand there then you’ll get the quest done. Which leads me to the final cool feature;
Public Quests (PQ);
Public quests are there to help you finish quests that require a group. Basically same as the open group system except that these quests have various stages and you did not have to have this quest before you came to the area. You may join in at any point in the chain and depending on how much you bestow to the final boss division then the better the loot and experience. So you could walk away with a healing potion or the Sword of 10000 truths. Whatever you get it WILL be usable by you! That’s a big divergence from WoW.
So why all the WoW comparison? Many people will say that this is WoW 2.0. I will have to disagree with that. Let me explain it this way. If you are into playing introductory person shooters. And say, you are looking over the barrel of your gun. Is Gears of War a Wolfenstein 3D ripoff? Well that standpoint (looking over the barrel), comes directly from one of the initial 3D shooters ever (Wolfenstein 3D). Mythic has the same sort of complaint versus it. “It is attempting to be like WoW too much”. To be honorable WoW took alot from Dark Ages of Camelot which was the MMO pre-wow. The look of the orcs comes directly from Games Workshop which is where Warhammer comes from. If you are playing an MMO would you rather the players playing not have an idea how to play or would you rather every one could play pretty well on their own. Being that for the most part every one coming to Warhammer has played an MMO before it is a gain to everyone that Warhammer has a “similar feel” to all other MMO’s that predate it.
The game allows for massive customization of your character. You may custommake it internally. Meaning you may get abilities and accomplishments that are more with regards to power on the field of battle and less when it comes to the glowing codpiece of doom. The graphics are at this time (just after release) moderate and do use DirectX 10 to some extent. They are scheduling to concede people with ubermachines to ramp the setting up soon. Just realize altho when you get 200 persons on the field fighting, you may not wish to be capable to count the nose hairs on each player, rather blast them initial and count nose hairs later.
I am beginning to get the sentiment this this is a much more mature players game and less for the kids to show off in. It’s like that Nivia for Men commercial, ” they got to see me, I got to attract them somehow”. Being there isn’t a huge glowing customizable look it may be off-putting to a heap of that feel they NEED to have a glowing sword. The art in this game is amazingly real and very beautiful.
Final thoughts, the look of this game is one of realism and is very close to what tabletop Warhammer players would find appealing. You may play greenskins that are crude and genuinely fun to play, or be a severe Von Helsing type reputation that looks like a swashbuckling hero. Either way you must have no problem finding something you like amid the 20 classes.
Hope to meet you ingame!

Exactly what I needed
By Terry Mesnard
Mythic knows how to run a successful MMO. They make the big, hard decisions. When class balancing and fun was at stake, they cut four classes in order to both remainder the races, but also because the classes weren’t up to snuff. And when all six capital cities were being problematic, they took out four of them and will release them as free content later.
Coming from Dark Age of Camelot, a game that unbearably belongs to the initial generation of MMOs, Mythic decisive to take the Warhammer lore and craft a game that they recognise best: realm versus realm. Warhammer Online (WAR) takes everything they tested, tried and made work from DAoC and pushed it forward into a new generation. Writing this review is tricky, because on the surface WAR is like most MMOs out there. But it’s the details and the little things that make it something totally different.
Let’s get started with the way the game is set up. From the beginning, PvP is primary as one of the original quests you receive will be to finish a scenario. In this way, WAR emphasizes it is committment to more than PvE. In fact, a PvP’r could spend his or her time totally PvPing and level all the way to the endgame. It helps that scenarios are constantly running and prospects are you’ll be in one before you know it.
The distinction, though, is that if you don’t actually care much when it comes to PvP, there are other opportunities. Firstly, in a literal sense hundreds of quests are out there, each with rewards that are specific to your class, meaning you won’t be doing a quest for a nice axe that you, a healer, may never use. The zones get started as approximately 80% PvE content, 20% PvP. As you carry on through the zones and into dissimilar tiers, that percentage will change, but there will always be PvE content.
One complaint I listen all the time is “I don’t like PvP,” which commonly means…I don’t like to be ganked by persons twenty levels higher than me when doing a quest. Don’t blame you, which is why the PvP system in 90% of the WAR servers is perfect. PvP only occurs on your terms, by entering a indicated zone. Stay out of those zones and you won’t have to worry when it comes to that pesky Bright Wizard. What regarding balancing in the zones? I don’t want a level 40 PvP’r heading into a level 1 zone and laying waste to everyone. Don’t worry, if an individual enters a PvP zone too low for them, they are turned into a chicken.
Then there are the dungeons, all made to be finished by a little group and not some bloated raid. And with each dungeon being split into wings that ought to take 1-2ish hours to finish and having armor sets, there’s a great deal of fun content to be had.
But that’s not all. Spread all around the entire game are approximately 300 (according to developers) Public Quests (PQs). These PQs are areas within each zone that are open to every one of your side to participate in. No matter whether you’re grouping with someone or not, you’ll bestow to the respective stages of these areas (stages that range from killing a number of things, fighting a boss like a dragon or demolishing urns) and, when the PQ is over you roll on a loot bag. What makes this work even better is that each loot bag will have a piece of equpiment that your class may use, guaranteed.
Additionally, there’s a bar that tracks your story chapter’s PQ progression and awards you three dissimilar items (usually a potion or talisman, followed by instrumentation and then a weapon) as you progression through three tiers.
Awards abound at each turn, even in PvP as you are tracked separately by your PvP level. At sure levels, or renown ranks as they’re called, you’ll have access to not only powerful instrumentation but also renown accomplishments that will aid you in both PvP and PvE. But let’s not stop here; each of the race pairings have zones that are grouped into tiers, with tier four being the high content. Each zone has PvP areas with towers and, as you progression into tier two and beyond, keeps. Both sides (Destruction and Order) may take over a keep and, if your guild is high sufficient in rank (more on that later), you may capture a keep in your name.
But keeps are also treated like PQ areas, being populated by NPCs and a very strong leader that also furnishes equipment. Fighting into a keep may turn into epic encounters, with siege weapons, rams to break down the keep’s walls, boiling oil for the defenders to pour onto wouldbe attackers, places for ranged attackers to unleash excessive damage and destruction spells and arrows…it’s rather a rush to be involved in one, specially as both sides get started to get more aggressive, calling in reinforcements to help.
And as the game progresses, these types of battles become more common. Which is a big divergence from the elephant in the room, World of Warcraft. WoW crafts a similar structure, with two side duking it out…but it was never meant to be a veritably PvP-centered game in the way WAR is. From the very beginning, you are immersed in this warfare, from the very basi level all the way to the end and beyond.
And all of this is before you get into how galore bars/levels there are to tackle. Sure, the game is capped at level 40 at launch, but that’s not taking into contemplation that each chapter of PQs has a bar with loot related to it or that there’s 80 renown ranks that will take a lot of PvPing to hit, or that your guild genuinely levels up to 40 based not on how numerous members you have in your guild but on their accomplishments, a system that gains both little and huge guilds. Guild ranks are genuinely essential as they provide you with a ton of abilities, from being capable to carry benefit-providing standards to having a guild vault to access to guild auctions, crafting vendors, quick flight paths to the dungeons, the capacity to take keeps, etc.
There’s just so much here, so a great deal of shinies to grab your attention. And it’s all tied into the Tome of Knowledge, a huge compendium that tracks everything you do from quests to accomplishments to titles, etc. It’s so exhaustive that you have to wonder how Mythic pulled it off. And pulled it off, they did. WAR is a monumentous game that feels as applicable and genre-shifting as WoW did when it came.
So, there you have it. A very rambling review that didn’t even touch on half of what the game has to offer (did you genuinely want to be here for another century?), but will have to stay incomplete. Because, here’s the thing. Even when you strip away all the little details, the leveling and all of that junk that I expended evermore typing about, what we find is…this game is fun. And diverse. And it’s just what I wanted and necessitated from a MMO.

Great game. Give it a try.
By Robert
This actually is a great game. At initial I thought I would hate it, but it grows on you fast.
Ignore all the negative things you have heard when it comes to it. The graphics aren’t bad, they were locked on low for the duration of beta. This game doesn’t need a super computer to play. It isn’t a copy of WoW. There aren’t a heap of bugs and it is having a finelooking good launch.
So what is good in regards to the game? This game is in regards to RvR combat (good vs bad). Starting at level 1 you may pvp and get experience from it. You don’t have to level to 70 then spend 6 months raiding for gear just to pvp. The classes are very well balanced. The fights take longer then 5 seconds. Leveling may be done a heap of ways including pvp. This is player vs player combat at it’s finest.
Don’t want to jump into pvp at the beginning? There are lots of quest and a outstanding story line. Want to solo? You may do that easily. Want to group? There are public quest where you will learn to group, get outstanding gear, experience and meet a great deal of new friends. Are you a casual player? This is the game for you. You don’t have to devote you life to it.
In no way do I mean to put down other mmorpg’s. They are outstanding as well. Warhammer has sufficient of “other games” built in to please the masses, but has fresh new gameplay to make you want more.
Does this game look like WoW. Yes, but it is altogether different. In Warhammer you are either Destruction or Empire and there for one reason, you are at WAR.
