Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Review (continued)

Exceeded expactaions by a bit
While, as all online games start out, it was kinda glitchy and buggy at first, Mythic was very quick to balance the game and take heed to all the users' pleas and dilemmas, and to be honest, the first to really beat back gold selling spam. The game is Player-vs-Player oriented, and did a great job of making the experience enthralling and fun. Progression is not something that's easily or lazily obtained, and requires the player to be mindful of what they do throughout the game. Probably the best team-learning MMO I've played to date.

WoW is good, Warhammer is better
We have 2 WoW accounts and have played it for years. In September 2008, we started playing Warhammer. At first we also wanted to continue with WoW and had ordered the expansion set 'Wrath of the Lich King", but due to the succes of Warhammer we have cancelled "Wrath of the Lich King" and our subscriptions.
WoW is definitely an excellent MMO, but we like PvP and RvR (Realm versus Realm), and that we find much more in Warhammer. The PvP and RvR battlegrounds in WAR are also part of the leveling system. For example, in doing PvP battlegrounds you also gather XP for leveling, and "Renown" which gives you credit points you can use to specialize certain battle functions. Besides that you have also talent trees and much more. In other words, less grinding, more fun.
The graphics and sounds are excellent. The effects are hellish in full group combat, especially on the frontline.
Warhammer has already announced that 2 more careers will be added in December, one for Destruction and one for Order. Christmas will be promising :-)

Great Game, awful customer support.
The game is great, the game play is very fun. If you like PvP this mmo is for you, if you are into running instances well, it isn't.
Lots of scenarios, that are like battlegrounds in WoW and the Public Quests that are are really fun, kindda like bosses in instances.
The only thing I don't like is the graphics, the game auto changes the level of detail depending on how many people are near you so you won't lag, but it doesn't change depending on your computer specs.
So even thou I have really good PC spec (4G Ram, 512Mb 4870, 4.0 DC Procesor), the game changes the level of detail even thou I'm not lagging.
The game = Great !
If you have any trouble and try contacting the Customer support, well good luck with that. I sent an email to their support of a problem I had the first day and I'm still waiting for a response after I sent all my info. There even a website dedicated to the people that aren't happy with their customer support www.warhammeronlinesupportsucks.com

Second ranked in the gaming market, first in fun
I've played a few MMOs in the past, both WoW and Daoc. Warhammer pulls together aspects of both games in a PvP centered environment. I have to admit the game isn't as polished as WoW. Still, some players prefer battling human enemies rather than those computer generated. It's a solid game overall, and quite fun. I expect it to be going strong for years to come.
