Today I will go with a little change of subject and talk about one of the main MMORPG I am playing right now, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. At the first glance, this game is very similar to the famous World of Warcraft. However, a lot of little things making it much more interesting.
One of the main focus of Warhammer Online is the RvR (Realms Versus Realms). In this case, it's the force of Destruction against the force of Order. You can PvE (Players versus Environment) all the way as well but you will usually get dragged in RvR combat even if you usually don't like this as it's really well done. I might add that you can start doing PvP (Players versus Players) even at the very start and will gain reasonable experiences, renown and coins from doing so.
Another interesting aspect is keeps and fortress fight, where you can use all kinds of sieges weapon to bring your opponents down. From hellblaster cannon to battering ram and boiling oil, you have everything you need to destroy the opposing force or defend your stronghold.
Public Quest is also another interesting aspect that allow all players in the same area to pursue the same objectives in order to beat a boss and find interesting item depending on the contribution of everyone.
The only major flaw I seen so far is probably the low population on most server, particularly when off peak time. Still, most of the time it's pretty easy to enter in PvP scenario. Graphics and special effects are pretty well done, particularly for a MMORPG and don't require a beast to run it (I can even make it run on my laptop).
If you are interested in giving it a try, you can find more details on Warhammer Online website. I also invite you all to come on Volkmar server on Destruction side, the unofficial servers for Quebec. Feel free to visit Seigneurs Noir website for more information about our guild.
