Key Features
Realm vs. Realm (RvR) gameplay means you will never fight alone, but as part of an army of allied players sworn to defend your homeland and conquer enemy Realms. Your every action-every quest completed, every battle fought-contributes to the war effort and can turn the tide of battle, bringing victory to your Realm!
Experience the camaraderie of fighting side-by-side with allied players against otherwise insurmountable odds in groundbreaking Public Quests. These cooperative PvE encounters unfold across multiple stages and allow solo players to experience the glory of RvR.
Embark on the endless quest to complete the Tome of Knowledge and unlock Warhammer lore, detailed monster information, new abilities and rewards, and major story plotlines. The Tome is also the story of your life in the game, tracking your achievements to share and compare with others.
Explore massive Living Cities that become more or less prosperous based on a Realm's overall performance in the ongoing war. Navigate a maze of twisting streets, visit the local tavern, explore a dark under-city, and meet colorful personalities in a city full of adventure.
Advanced guild features give unprecedented control to leaders and members, and make guilds an integral part of the war efforts. Guilds can create unique heraldry, capture and claim keeps, and earn Guild Tactics as they grow in power along with their members.

fun but with some problems:
This game is awesome! the content, quests, graphics, everything about this game is great. The quest lines (if you read them and not just plow through) really gives you a feeling for the 25 years of lore that was made previous to this game's conception. The big problem, at least on my server is that unlike a PVE based game where the NPCs are always waiting for you when ever you are ready. this is a PVP based game and other people don't always do what you want them to do in order for you to progress further... more info
Save Your Money, Buy World of Warcraft Instead....:
I played this game in beta and into the release for 2 months before I canceled. Mythic dropped the ball and it came down as a big thud...dud of a game. It's an absolutely terrible PvP game and it's an absolutely terrible PvE game. The game seems like it wants to be kinda like WoW but have better PvP, but there's no EPIC pvp as promised. I played Dark Age of Camelot a game Mythic put out years ago and Warhammer is no where near the game DAOC was for RvR. Warhammer was promised to be an EPIC ongoing... more info
Great Game!:
I have played World of Warcraft and enjoyed it for many years. But, WAR is a MUCH better game. Mythic does a better job listening to their subscribers and giving them what they want!
Install problems with DVD version:
As much as I dislike reviewing a product without having played it, EA gives me no choice in the matter. My DVD version of the game was not able to be installed. This is not an isolated incident but from what I've gathered online it is a widespread problem with the DVD version. Those who downloaded the game are lucky (or wise?) Support will run you through many "fixes" which do not work, as I'm sure they know before they tell you. Seeing as how the game takes such a long time to install, having to install... more info
