Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Difference between revisions

'''''Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning''''', usually abbreviated as [[Fun with Acronyms|WAR]], iswas an MMO set in the world of [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]], the second of its kind. An earlier Warhammer MMO made by Climax was in development around 2003, but that first version fell through spectatcularlyspectacularly when it tanked at the [[E3]] and Games Workshop pulled its funding. Several years later, the license was aquiredacquired by Mythic Entertainment, who chose to develop it in a graphically brighter, more accessible format than their predecessor. It was released in late 2008 to record breaking sales, and recievedreceived great critical acclaim. Unfortunately, early issues in server stability and a population thinned out over too many, combined with the release of the second ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' expansion at the height of these problems, led to it losing much of its early subscriber base and having large reductions in its development team. Nonetheless, it maintainsmaintained a strong core playerbase anduntil continuesits toshutdown beon maintainedDecember and18, updated2013.

Like in Mythic's previous MMO, ''[[Dark Age of Camelot]]'', the emphasis iswas in [[Player Versus Player]] and their trademarked Realm versus Realm system. There are two sides with three races each: Order (the human [[The Empire|Empire]], the [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Dwarfs]] and the [[Our Elves Are Better|High Elves]]) and Destruction (Chaos, specifically Tzeentch's followers, the Dark Elves and the [[Our Orcs Are Different|Greenskins]]). Every race has four unique classes open to them, leading to quite a bit of variety and some ''serious'' [[Alt-Itis]].
