War is everywhere in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, the new MMORPG from the creators of Dark Age of Camelot. Based on Games Workshop's popular Warhammer fantasy war game, WAR features next generation Realm vs. Realm (RvR) game play that will immerse players Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's world of perpetual conflict.
Upon entering Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, players must determine their allegiance and join an Army. Those inclined towards the side of good may fight for the Armies of Order as an obstinate Dwarf, noble High Elf, or loyal human soldier of the Empire. Those inclined towards darker deeds may side with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's sinister Armies of Destruction as a savage Greenskin (Orc or Goblin), corrupt Dark Elf, or marauding human worshipper of Chaos.
RvR combat in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning takes place on three fronts where ancient foes wage an unending war – Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, High Elf vs. Dark Elf, and Empire vs. Chaos. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning players begin the game fighting their ancestral enemy, but are free to journey to other fronts to help their allies in their ongoing struggles.
The ultimate goal in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's RvR combat is the sacking of an enemy's capital city. To do this, an army must invade and take control of the opposition's homeland. Deciding battles take place in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning on objective-based battlefields and in instanced scenarios - point-balanced battles that make use of NPC mercenaries known as Dogs of War.
For the first time, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's RvR system integrates both Player vs. Player (PvP) combat and Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests on the same map. Every aspect of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, including PvE missions, is geared towards the greater war in some important way. However, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning players are not required to participate in PvP combat, and may aid in the RvR war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's PvE content.
Drawing from a quarter century of highly detailed source material, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will bring Games Workshop's fantasy world to life in a way that will allow players to create characters destined for great deeds and glory on the field of battle.
