More than that, the development team is leveraging the best lessons of their previous MMO Dark Age of Camelot into an enticing stew of PvP and RvR gameplay that has us foaming at the mouth to slip into the green skin of our favorite orcs or perhaps don the platemail of the Empire. Or go nearly naked as a Witch Elf.

I can't decide whether or not I'm going to let an MMORPG take over my life again, or if I will resist the call.

I hear this is the WoW killer (at least of the day) that everyone's been waiting for. anyone in on the beta? how is/was it?

I think the only MMORPG would be something mechwarrior based.. but I haven't seen a new game of that genre since before time started

Normally any game predicted as being a (Insert Popular Game Here) killer usually ends up sucking.

Now, since this is Warhammer, you have to realize the shear number of Warhammer players, both figurines and video games, that will hop on this like flies on shit. As well as the Warhammer players, both figurines and video games, that will be defecting from WoW to hop on this like flies on shit.



EDIT: It seems that this game will also feature exclusive in game content for those who shell out the extra $30 or so to get the collector's edition, (Surprise surprise )

But in its defense it does come with an exclusive Games Workshop figurine (Warhammer tradition: Paint and assembly not included), and a 200+ page Warhammer art book, as well as a 100+ page hardbound graphic novel.
