Warhammer is coming...

For what seems like ages Warhammer has been a table top game. On September 18,2008 Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will be making its long awaited debut. WAR as it is affectionately called is coming. Unlike many of the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) out there this one is designed to be Realm vs. Realm. What that means is that it is army vs. army you are but one of many. Does this mean your efforts count less? No, each quest you go on helps your side.



Ahhh , but that raises the question of sides. There are but two sides; good or evil, order or destruction. The side of Order you get to choose on the following races; Dwarves, High Elves, or the Empire of Man. On the side of Destruction; Greenskins, Dark Elves and Chaos.



I personally will probably choose a dwarf. Those players that know me probably would have guessed that. Aah but what a choice. I know my friends will probably line up on the opposing side... they're just so... dare I say... evil? This of course brings up the next issue. I think the forces of good are going to be vastly outnumbered. Why? because only young heroes and a few odd old war horses like myself will choose to be good. The vast majority of gamers though will choose to be the dark forces of Destruction (what can I say so many swayed to the Dark Side).It will be interesting to see how the game balances this out.


Well, I hope you enjoy it when it comes.

Have Fun and Be Great

Next: Spiderman the tormented hero
