Just thought i'd share this with you. I'm hoping maybe late July early August? Guess i'll get my ToS up to 80 until then. Woot! I hope this game delivers where AoC failed to... I'm getting a bit disolusioned with the state of current MMO's

Dear Customer,

We are writing to you in reference to your recent order for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

It has come to our attention that some websites are reporting that play.com have sent out the beta access codes. Unfortunately this is incorrect, however we are due to send out our beta access codes soon and we estimate that they should be with you within 7-10 days. The Warhammer Online beta has yet to start and we will be sending the codes shortly so that they will be there in time for access to the beta when it opens.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and valued custom.

Kind Regards,

Play.com

So looking forward to this game.. meaningful PVP, city sackings, seige warfare, groups of 24 organised players... I like!

Not sure the whole incite racial hatred thing is very PC, but whatever, it will make for some passion on the battlefield!

WTB Warhammer!

35 here, played since release. I'm also a highschool teacher...

I shall be quitting soon due to the horrible PVP nerf my favourite class (mage) and main character has recieved in pvp (having your arse regularly handed to you in arenas is no fun, no chance unless you go full ice ;)

Me and a few of my irl/online buddies are waiting for the next big thing to jump onto. Looking forward to fury tbh, as it will not be a demanding grindfest :)

p.s. My wife hates me playing wow (and games in general) and thinks i'm insane... but hey, we all have a nerdy side =)

This is one game that i know is going to deliver; fast paced twitch friendly pvp in a fantasy setting with more abilities than you can shake a stick at and plenty of varied arenas/areas  DESIGNED for pvp. No grind, no point and click and no boredom.

This will be the game you can play for a few hours and get a real sense of satisfaction from. Don't bother with it if you want a long winded level grind and raiding experiense. Play vanguard for that.

In the meantime, start hyping!

Not seen any footage of this game in a while, looks a lot more polished now than when i last saw it. Hope it delivers on the gameplay front...

Hey thanks for the info Adam! Fury is looking great, i wish you guys all the succuess a game like this deserves. I for one am sick of games that demand i spend endless hours grinding/raiding in order to be able to compete in pvp (wow is just one example). This sounds like just what i need, a game that lets me log in and have a couple of hours of fun, but with enough depth and variety to keep me interested :)

One important thing for a game such as this is maps. Please make sure there is enough interest and variety in the maps. Perhaps you could make the source code available after release, that way if the game takes off you can be sure that the community will start creating maps and mods for it.

Good luck

Wow, this movie has really grabbed my attention. It's not like the crummy dev made ones, it's a film taken at E3 showing an (i assume) epic mount riding accross the landscape. Smooth graphics and a nice looking environment. Bring it on!

Not the best quality, but it shows the style of gameplay   Note the 'not-too-bright' Aussie reporter in the background... Lol, poor fella was prolly jet lagged ;P

This one shows a sweet fatality animation. Nice!

 But, the question is, will it be better then Age of Conan and Warhammer? It's a next gen game, and it's a niche game at that, so how it stacks up against the others is going to be very, very interesting. I look forward to betatesting this thing.

It is a totally different type of game than either of the 2 games you mention. Think of it as Unreal Tournament in a fantasy setting with different classes, more available skills, more animations and fatalities

It looks real, therefore it looks nice. Stop complaining :)

Woa! Nice tits! Lol. This game is going to rock my world. Can't wait to play it :)

The combat system seems really nice, real sword movement ftw! Castind sounds cool too.

Currently No.1 on my list. Hope it drags me away from AV/AB & WSG (!)

Really, you people that spend endless hours playing games like this; you need to get out more. There is a wonderful world out there and you can experience it for real!

Go level up you IRL char. This game will eat your life.

First?

Like anyone's following this game and like anyone cares...!

We'll i care and i have got my eyes on this one ;P I saw a gameplay video from E3 and was very impressed.

It's got more in common with an FPS like unreal tournament than an MMO, but to me looks like it offers enough depth in gameplay with a deep skill system that relies on player skill and teamwork moreso that itemisation.

A game such as this is just what i need; login, enjoy an hour or two of fun carnage and logout! No more endless carrot grinds for me. Life is too short.

(and before anyone say's 'guild wars', it did not hit the spot for me, i'll be playing wow's BG's til somehing better comes along!)

yes there will be limited pvp at launch, with rvr introduced with later expansions, and i believe there will be a ffa pvp server if that is what you are looking for, and as far as turn based combat, you do realize that almost every mmo's combat is turned based right?

---

Thanks for the info =)

Yes, of course i realise that most mmo's are turn based in terms of performing cross-referencing calculations hit/miss chance blah blah. But even with WoW's 'turn based' system for example, when you hit cheap shot there is no delay, your target is instantly stunned. Same goes for all  instant cast abilities.

My point is that the animation in this game looks overdone. You may as well be playing cards if that is the speed of thought required for pvp combat.

And if you pay attention to the most anticipated MMO's, you will note the move away from traditional 'turn based' combat and toward a more responsive system. The calculations will still be there but it will be more skill based. 

Is there any? If not i'll pass. PVE mmo's bore me to tears. No matter how good the ai is, it will NEVER come close to a real human opponent.

And by the way, have you seen the combat in this game? The words 'wooden' and 'turn-based' come to mind... check youtube.com for e3 footage.
