DESCRIPTION
Men, elves, and dwarfs unite to battle against the dark forces of destruction in this first persistent world role-playing game based on the Warhammer fantasy universe. One of the title's distinguishing features is its realm versus realm combat, where faction members engage rival armies to conquer control points, keeps, and even capital cities. Your side's performance in these battles will determine the prosperity of your realm, influencing the types of items, dungeons, and quests available. While player versus player combat is Age of Reckoning's primary focus, more traditional means of earning experience and leveling up are also available. This includes an assortment of solo and public quests, with the latter offering cooperative play in a series or chain of events.
Six playable races are divided evenly across the game's two opposing factions: the Realm of Order and the Realm of Destruction. Realm of Order lets you create a dwarf, high elf, or human, while Realm of Destruction is comprised of greenskin, dark elf, and human races. Each race offers three to four careers, the game's equivalent of classes, which vary based on gender and faction. As you battle creatures and players, you will gradually fill a "Tome of Knowledge" and unlock new abilities, rewards, storylines, and other surprises. All of your in-game accomplishments will also be documented for posterity, allowing you to bask in the glory of your heroic exploits with friends and fellow guild members. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“I found this game to be a big letdown after all the hype. I bought it at launch, and it was obviously incomplete. Minimizing the game while in the capital cities caused the game to lock, and we weren't given all of the classes we had been promised.
When I came back 18 months later to look around again, it was even worse IMO. Instead of the dynamic starting zones for races, you had the single starting zone for everyone, and while you could choose to do the original ones, they were impossible to complete because of the new default.
Public quests were a great idea though, but were most enjoyable at launch. Now, they're mostly ignored.”

“Warhammer Online offered the ability to explore the extensive world and history created in Warhammer. The easy group functionality and in depth character classes made this an exciting game to explore and conquer. Unfortunately it was plagued with class balancing issues and patches did not come in a timely manner to address serious concerns in regards to PvP.”

“Poor optimization due to rushed development sounded the death knell for this game very early on. It was never able to rebound and find people willing to invest large sums of time into it to make it a huge success.”

Sadly without players RVR is simply no fun.”

“This game is very addicting. It allows you to intact with many different people from around the globe. It is actually my very FIRST online gaming other than the typical yahoo games. The guild that I have joined is very helpful in assisting the young,(not just age) and extremely helpful and encouraging. A very special thanks goes out to Toresfin, Istdet and my Camelot-Jokerlo! :) If it wasn't for these fine peeps, I might not ever had the courage and understanding of the game! THANK YOU! Very Satifisying.”
