About Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ (WAR)
War is everywhere in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR), the new MMORPG from the creators of Dark Age of Camelot®. Based on Games Workshop’s wildly successful Warhammer® tabletop fantasy war game, WAR features next generation Realm vs. Realm™ (RvR) game play that will immerse players in a world of perpetual conflict. Players can choose to join the Armies of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and human subjects of the Empire) or the sinister Armies of Destruction (Orcs and Goblins, Dark Elves, and human worshippers of Chaos) with the ultimate goal in RvR combat being the sacking of an enemy’s capital city. To do this, an army must invade and take control of the opposition’s homeland. Deciding battles take place on objective-based battlefields and in instanced scenarios - point-balanced battles that make use of NPC mercenaries known as Dogs of War. For the first time, WAR’s RvR system integrates both Player vs. Player (PvP) combat and Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests on the same map. Every aspect of the game, including PvE missions, is geared towards the greater war in some important way. Drawing from a quarter century of highly detailed source material, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will bring Games Workshop’s fantasy world to life in a way that will allow players to create characters destined for great deeds and glory on the field of battle.
About Warhammer®
Games Workshop created the Warhammer world more than 23 years ago, as the setting for its wildly successful
tabletop fantasy war game of the same name. Since then the game has been
released in six editions, had dozens of supplements, and been the basis for
tens of thousands of unique model soldier designs, making it one of the most
well documented and detailed fantasy settings in existence. The world itself is
a dark and forbidding fantasy realm, where Elves, Orcs, Dwarfs, Undead, and
many other races clash constantly in mighty battles seeking domination over
each other. Meanwhile, the insidious forces of Chaos strive to undermine the
basic fabric of society both from within and by the direct invasion of its
legions of daemons,
beastmen
and warped human champions. The Warhammer
community stretches across the world, supported by Games Workshop’s 330+
stores, 4000+ independent retailers, and many games clubs, tournaments and
events such as the annual Games Days and Golden Demon awards in the
