'Warhammer Online' Launching September 18
Posted By: John Manalang - Wednesday, August 06, 2008 8:07 AM

Since 2005, MMORPG adventurers have been anticipating Electronic Arts's promising take on the Warhammer universe. Now, the wait is over, as EA announced that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will be shipping this September 18. Mythic Entertainment founder Mark Jacobs said:

"For the last three years, the entire team at Mythic has poured their hearts into making Warhammer Online the next great MMORPG. We are so excited to open up this world and share it with the fans that will live in it, quest in it, go to war in it and make it come alive."

The game will require a $14.99 monthly subscription fee, similar to the current MMORPG sensation World of Warcraft. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, published by Electronic Arts, will be available for the PC. Check out the system requirements here and view the video after the cut.

Yeah I dished out my 80 bucks for a CE it worth the many. Wish I could get my money back from WoW. I do hope the have better payment system. Game like this I would not mind putting 250 buck for a lifetime membership. WoW 3 years cost me over 400 dollars. Damn you WoW.

By far the Public Quest are the best thing I have seen in a MMORPG. They are very nicely done and dont need like 40+ people to finsh, and no more LFG spam. Its easy fast and the RVR is realy nice. Im glade I dished out that 80$ to get into the open beta and for the game.

On the pve issue, there is pve in it, and it works well, look about the Public Quest system, very cool. And those of you saying that content has been cut, yes hey cut classes, but if you watch the new podcast on the website, they are actually adding more content than what was orginially planned. (Orginially as is when the game was first thought up, it grew from that point)

This game seems to have a great formula and alot of thought behind the battle system/RvR but i havent heard much about PvE or leveling up lets hope they make those just as good.

the lack of the other cities is going to make this seem more of a war!
Everyone is now going to be centralized and all have the same goal....rather then being torn between 3 cities.
Once they get thier feet wet, the other cities will come!
This game is going to Rule all
Im diffinetly WoW....aka...waiting on warhammer and i cant wait for Sept.!!!

As an fyi, they still have 20 classes and 2 major cities. But WoW got it right, we should have 4 main cities per side. Even though only 1 is used per side. We really need those empty cities.

Will there be a demo? I'd like to see how different it is than WoW before I throw down fifty bucks for it.
