Joe Iuliani was at Comic Con last week. Today, he brings us a report on his hands-on experience with Warhammer Online.

I recently had the pleasure of playing the demo of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning at the New York Comic Con. For those of you who have not seen the animated scenes from WAR, stop reading this and go to this website and watch it right now. Go ahead, I'll wait. No really, go there and watch it. This scene shows the outright bloodlust and hatred between the two sides in the game, Order and Destruction. It's not just coincidence that Warhammer Online will be going by the clever acronym W.A.R. This game focuses on warfare, pure and simple. You won't find the forces of Order and Destruction chumming it up together in a common town any time soon. It's a game where the "good" guys don't always win. The sides are named appropriately, Order and Destruction. There is no good and bad, just different points of view. The winner is the strongest.

For fans of Games Workshop Warhammer fantasy table top gaming, WAR is like watching the game come to life. Pick up any of copy of White Dwarf from like 1987 through today and you will see how true to form EA Mythic has been. The attention to the details of the Warhammer Fantasy universe is abundant. The character designs, from physical shape and characteristics to the armor and weapons, are right on the money.

Nice cover up of that demo and of what will most probably become.

Cheers!

This game's still only  in alpha stage, and it's already the most hyped, most organized, and nicest looking MMO I can remember being in that stage of development.  One thing's for sure; Warhammer Online is going to be one hell of a final product.

Nice write up.  I've been excited about a Warhanmmer MMO since Climax had started on it, and then it went away.  I'm glad that Mythic is doing a bang up job, and can't wait to git my grubby paws on it.


WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!!

Can't wait. Will have to spend some time before my first sit down getting ready to be a dwarf. Hopefully at some point will see all the races but a dwarf is my first choice. First time to see a trollslayer did it for me. After reading this, I can't wait to see just how much of the stuff shows up.
