Key Features
Realm vs. Realm (RvR) gameplay means you will never fight alone, but as part of an army of allied players sworn to defend your homeland and conquer enemy Realms. Your every action-every quest completed, every battle fought-contributes to the war effort and can turn the tide of battle, bringing victory to your Realm! Experience the camaraderie of fighting side-by-side with allied players against otherwise insurmountable odds in groundbreaking Public Quests. These cooperative PvE encounters unfold across multiple stages and allow solo players to experience the glory of RvR. Embark on the endless quest to complete the Tome of Knowledge and unlock Warhammer lore, detailed monster information, new abilities and rewards, and major story plotlines. The Tome is also the story of your life in the game, tracking your achievements to share and compare with others. Explore massive Living Cities that become more or less prosperous based on a Realm's overall performance in the ongoing war. Navigate a maze of twisting streets, visit the local tavern, explore a dark under-city, and meet colorful personalities in a city full of adventure. Advanced guild features give unprecedented control to leaders and members, and make guilds an integral part of the war efforts. Guilds can create unique heraldry, capture and claim keeps, and earn Guild Tactics as they grow in power along with their members. Pick your favorite character.

Best MMO in years!:
Warhammer Online is a great game. It's only been out for a short time now and already has over 1 million subscribers. The RvR (or Realm versus Realm) experience take player versus player combat to a new level. There's a game here for everyone, whether you like to play alone, with groups against the game or with groups against other people. They are already about to release several new classes and we're not even 2-months into release. I already bought a 6-month subscription and I know that's only... more info
At least they patch it often....:
It's not a very good game, the combat isn't fluid and it's boring to level (yes, WoW leveling is 100x more fun....) Great, New Aspects for this genre:
This game is designed well enough to capture your attention for many hours. The new aspects (tome, public quests, group friendliness, scenario, pvp, and more) introduced into the MMO scene are refreshing and will keep your attention away from the grind while still gaining considerable amounts of experience. If you are tired of your current MMO, this game is qualified to spend the money on. Boring, boring, boring:
This game has so many flaws - I do not know where to start. Bad graphic, very poor sound, awful animation. However, if you are one of those who believes the only important thing in MMORPG is gameplay - there is a chance you can enjoy WAR for may be 12-15 levels (and there are 40 PvE and 80 PvP levels there). There are people who can stand the tedious repetitive grind for up to level 31. Well, it is your call whether you want to throw your money to check out if you are one of them.
