Abstract: War, appropriately, is the focus in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Few persistent world, online role-playing game have focused so much on player-versus-player combat or done it this well. Fireballs fly, swords clash, and pet lions pounce as the op...

Abstract: Blending PVP and PVE, Warhammer invites you to quest in their world and go from being a lowly peasant to a mighty knight. Quests can stretch across zones, sometimes seeming to take forever to finally accomplish. But unlike many other online games t...
Abstract: If a developers confidence equated directly to the excellence of a video game, then Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning would easily be one of the best MMOs ever made. There are very few developers as confident or as colorful as EA Mythics Paul Barnet...
Abstract: Kate Flack is a gamers best friend, but she makes the type of contributions that are so pervasive that theyre likely to go unnoticed, at least consciously. As deputy content director at Mythic (and a veteran of numerous Games Workshop projects), shes...
Abstract: If nothing else makes Warhammer: Age of Reckoning a serious contender for the MMO top-spot, then at the very least you cant ignore its Beta queue. At time of writing the counter had hit 616 thousand, 616 thousand distinct entries (624 thousand now) be...
