Garrett Fuller attended a press event in Fairfax Virginia and learned a great deal about EA Mythic's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

What can be said about Warhammer Online that has not been said already? The hype on this game continues to grow by leaps and bounds on the internet. With Paul Barnett driving the crazy train and everybody trying to jump on board for the wild ride, it is easy to see why Warhammer is quickly growing as the next big MMO. One huge question remains, can it deliver? Can it live up to the hype? Can the new game mechanics of Public Quests, a vast series of character development tables, customization through RvR trophies, and the sacking of major cities really grab the players by the neck and shake them into the intensity of Warhammer Online?

The severed hands hanging from the mutated Chaos banner is a nice touch.  The link with the bright wizard and the one with the Black Orc don't seem to be working.

Overall it sounds awesome.  Looks like Empire/Chaos is moving along well since they were able to play as the Bright Wizard.

Akira is to the Matrix and Warhammer is to Warcraft, Without it the others would not exist.

WTB Ticket on Insane train please,

So looking forward to this game now, just makes me smile knowning this game has changed so much since its first conception and has even withstood a ressurection to get here and now, fantastic.

Hoping for more news and screenshots to be fixed.

Zhomg the hype !

Lets hope it can deliver, I cant wait. :)

Taking a general look so far, I guess it wont be a hit as WoW (Since its PvP focused, WoW is way more carebear'ish) but still will be a nice game. Smaller community with a playable size = huge ones.

I read prophecy from cereal boxes.

I am a big fan of the Warhammer universe (table top game) but I dont see W.A.R. as really offering anything new.   Humans, elves and orcs with swords and magic.   It  has already been done a dozen (or so)  times.    Now if Mythic can make a Warhammer 40K MMO, THAT would be awesome!

"The production of the game is moving along very well with 150 employees now working on the game. With any luck, it will meet the release date at the end of 2007."

^ Best part of the article.

There are two main reasons why I am looking forward to this game.

1. The main emphasis is RvR PvP and not an endless equipment grind.

2. The big budget and talent behind this game suggests it will be a high quality, mostly bug free, complete product and not a half-finished game like nearly all MMOGs.
