Warhammer Online - New Screens

[Instigator AG]

Mythic was nice enough to throw a bone to many of the fans currently waiting for the release of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and that bone came in the form of a few more screenshots:

Warhammer Online is said to bring PvP to a whole new level proclaimed RvR (Realm vs Realm). Much like World of Warcraft you pick your alliance to either side of a massive war. What is different about Warhammer Online is your overall objective is to overtake the opposing sides capital city. The idea is to promote large scale battles and teamwork.

In the dulling world of MMORPG games there are two that will clash about mid year 2008 in an attempt to take much of the spot light from WOW. Those two games are Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures.

So far Conan looks to have the better graphics, however will that be a double edged sword? If WOW has shown us anything it is that for a game to be successful it needs not only to be fun but easy enough on a PC so not only the high end systems can run it. Will the graphics and engine be the thorn in the side of Conan? Or the flip side to that coin is majority of gamers systems may have been updated and ready to rock a higher end game, thus giving them more push towards Conan.

I guess in the end what we are looking for is a unique, intense (bordering on addicting) gaming experience. It will be interesting to see who delivers it as like many of you I am foaming at the mouth waiting for the next big thing in an MMORPG.

Then you've probably seen this (https://betacenter.eamythic.com/signup.php), but in any case do you know of any good strategies at trying to get into the beta? I would have filled out the entry form, but truth be told I don't have a really good justification for trying out the beta so I would probably be wasting my time.

well so far everyone that has been accepted has at least two gigs of ram. I dont know about the other specs. You have better chances if you have signed up for there monthly newsletter as well. If you pre ordered the game you have a much better chance and if you have been at a game convention and got a code from the warhammer booth that also gives you better odds.

I can't handle RPGs... Online or not.

I love MMORPG's for one aspect, PvP! It seems many of them get nerfed too much these days. I enjoy old school stuff like early versions of Ultima Online which allowed you to run down anyone you could beat (outside of town). Not only did you get to whoop some butt, you also got to take everything they had on them.

I love pvp, and if you love pvp or rvr then WAR is the way to go no questions asked.

The beta cycle just ended today. They will be inviting more people to the beta next week when it reopens. GL TO EVERYONE.

if you followed the game you would know it will destroy wow, so far there are 600 000 people signed up for the beta which is beyond amazing. The graphics are better then wows and the characters dont look cartoony. The pve questing is better then wow's for sure. Im not sure about the rest of PvE but I do know that warhammers PvP is going to destroy wow's and warhammer has an amazing concept called RvR which is very appealing to everyone who play's mmo's. So yes it is a lot better then wow.
