Declare your allegiance and join hundreds of thousands of mighty heroes on the battlefields of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning to experience the epic nature of war. Enter a grim fantasy world where the armies of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and Empire) and Destruction (Greenskins, Dark Elves, and Chaos) collide to determine the fate of nations.

Wield devastating magic and deadly weapons, battle monstrous creatures, and join your brothers-in-arms in epic Public Quests. Climb the Bastion Stair, carry your Guild Banner into battle, and unlock the secrets of the Tome of Knowledge as you travel the world. Sharpen your blade and prepare to unleash your inner mutation-the Age of Reckoning has begun and WAR IS EVERYWHERE!

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.

Good Game:

It was nice to take a break from Wow. This game is fun but its still new. Please keep that in mind when purchasing. Graphics are great, community is helpful. The only problem I had is, I brought is game from amazon marketplace. The cd-key was already used so it was a waste of money. I will never by a game that requires a cd-key from there again. I went to target and brought it again just for the cd-key. But over all its a great game.

Same old:

Bought this game and was excited about it but gave up playing the first month, just seems the same old grind. Maybe it would be more fun if I knew other people who played.

A lot of fun, despite the bugs:

Trial Is All You Need To Play:

Im not going to go into a longwinded review on this one just some sound advice. Play the free trial. It is long enough to see everything there is to this game. The PVP is fun, for awhile but its the same thing at level 20 it is at level 1. Graphics may be a bit better than WOW but not much. Lag is an issue as well, even with a pretty decent gaming computer the PVP stuff lags and as said PVP is what the game is about. Do the trial.
