E3 2006 Best Use of a License: Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Mythic Ent.  advertisement 
Yes, the IP is dark and yes, Mythic chose to go for a lighter look. Yet, to us, this perfectly represents the exaggerated and paint it yourself feel of the toy soldiers. What's more, the rich and detailed textures are not just random decoration. Every symbol on every flag means something in the Warhammer universe. The comes the Tome of Knowledge. This tome expands as players explore the world. It is a one stop source of information about the IP. The contents are written by various characters in the world and as you learn more you get different perspectives, written in the correct voice. They may argue, they may contradict each other and they may even lie to you. Nonetheless, reading is a riot. Not only do you not need Google to learn about the world, but you can gain experience and have fun doing it. ...and did I mention that Orcs can travel by catapult? It's far too early to hand Warhammer Online any of the major hardware. It's only been eight months, but they're well on their way to capturing the IP and for that they deserve recognition.
