War!

Anyone one planning on getting Warhammer: Age of reckoning? I've been reading up on it since last summer and im super psyched. I saw the video gameplay on gamespot it's fantastic. Im so into the whole war thing 24/7.

I haven't seen anything on it, I have heard a few people mention some thing about the game but not much. Is it going to be like WoW with the whole opposing sides players can choose to be on, thus creating massive PvP servers or is it everyone for themselves like Warhammer was?

Seriously, "Paul's video diaries" alone make this a must watch site/game.

As for WAR...yeah I really really really want this game! Nostalgia, violence and tactics!? Is there such a thing as a more enticing game prospect?

I can't decide on which force of chaos to be, my brother has stated he's going for magus, so now I need to decide whether I am Chosen (tank), Zealot (psycho priest) or Marauder (freaky mutant DPS guy).

I love the RvR idea too, especially as you can actually get rewarded for PvP in a slightly more interesting way then most MMO's seem to handle it.

I will wait for 40k years for the WH40k expansion to come out, then I'll play.

Now that would be fun, though I've always been an old world Warhammer fan...Skaven FTW!! (sadly not a playable race in the MMO)

The Warrior Priest and Chaos Zealot (http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/gameInfo/armiesofWAR/CareersDesignCommentary6.php) classes are looking rather cool. I'm torn between which minion of chaos to play, though I think the Zealot may be a tad difficult to get to grips with.

You know you have to play the chosen. Big, bad, and evil!

Actually I think the marauder looks the most fun. Scary vikings whose arms turn to blades/claws/tentacles...bwa ha ha ha!

[seductivpancakes]

I was thinking I might be a knight of the blazing son, or a engineer.

...you sicken me...:p

[seductivpancakes]

Well I dont mind being a chosen either. Big, heavily armored, giant weapons, scary. RAWR!

See the only problem I have with modern MMO's is that even the psychotic cultists have to look pretty (http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/media/screenshots/full/0307_SS_003.jpg)

Obviously, your standard of beauty differs greatly from my own. O.o

She's not ugly or bedraggled though. She has well kept hair, clean features and a traditional smooth face. She's supposed to be a barbarian warrior woman who worships chaos. Somehow I imagined them looking a bit more freaky.

Also that sounds like a lot of detail.

Not really, give them mad hair and a few scars and you have psycho warrior ladies

[seductivpancakes]

Also sharp teeth and piercings.

I'm not very familiar with 'regular' Warhammer. I'm waiting for that 40K MMO.

You're looking at at least 2 years for that I'd guess, the W.A.R. MMO should keep you going till then :D

[Dagrak]

In case people didn't spot it (I'm sure you all did) but WAR has been pushed back till 2008.

Also they've released footage and screenshots of the Chaos Chosen (tank) class...I want!

[georox]

I'm gonna toss some info out there...

This game is being developed by Mythic, a company that made a good MMO and drove it into the ground hard...

Now lets pair it with this, Mythic was recently bought by EA Games!

EA Games made a good MMO, then decided to run it into the ground and use it as a cash-cow, selling in-game, virtual items for real-life money, sometimes those items you would need to compete with in the game. :O

Let me better reinstate this, EA Games, Sequel Machine, King of Expansions, land of the 200*.

Can I stop now?

[Dagrak]

Well seeing as Dark Age of Camelot is still going fairly strong, despite being older and less pretty then WOW, I don't think its fair to dismiss this just because of who makes it. Mythic still holds all the cards and controls over WAR so theres less of a chance for E.A. to ruin it.

[seductivpancakes]

WAR got delayed to 2008. How sad.
