Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ Release Date Confirmed: 18th September 2008
Paris, France – August 6th, 2008 – GOA, Orange’s games unit and Mythic Entertainment, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the release date of 18th September 2008 for the eagerly awaited MMORPG, Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ (WAR), as well as confirming retail launch offerings and subscription fees.
Based on Games Workshop’s epic and longstanding tabletop fantasy war game which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning features a unique Realm vs. Realm™ (RvR) gameplay that immerses players in a world of perpetual conflict.
“GOA is thrilled at the prospect of opening the doors to the world of Warhammer Online very soon", said Ghislaine Le Rhun, Managing Director of GOA. "As the development of Warhammer Online continued to accelerate, we have been gearing up to support the launch, building a massive server infrastructure, localizing millions of words and recruiting a top notch team of experts in their fields. We look forward to sharing the fun we're having on the battlefields of WAR".
“The countdown has officially begun. Mark your calendars! September 18th is the Day of Reckoning”, said Mark Jacobs, founder and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. “For the last three years, the entire team at Mythic has poured their hearts into making Warhammer Online the next great MMORPG. We are so excited to open up this world and share it with the fans that will live in it, quest in it, go to war in it and make it come alive.”
From launch, subscriptions can be purchased online and within the game:
- 1 month for 12.99€ (£10.31)
- 3 months for 35.97€ (£28.55)
- 6 months for 65.94€ (£52.34)
Alternatively, pre-paid Game Card packs for a 60-day subscription will be available through participating retailers for 29.99€ (£23.81).
From the 28th August, the regular edition of the game can be pre-ordered at 5€ (£3.97), and this special pre-order pack will entitle players to a key for ‘Live Game Head Start’ access ahead of the full commercial release on the 18th September, as well as bonus in-game items.
The regular edition of the game will be priced at 49.99 € (£39.69) RRP with a 30-day subscription included.
Very few copies of the Collector’s Editions are still available for pre-order. Gamers pre-ordering the Collector’s Edition will have access to the Open Beta, as well as the ‘Live Game Head Start’ and bonus in-game items.
seriously i cant figure out how can you release all the info with dates, prices, subscription costs and dont specify the price of the collectors edition.
all the pre-orders seem to be sold out in europe (in most countries) for the CE and no site says the exact final price, only a 10 euros pre-order cost.

The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"
Why is it always more expensive to be europe. 13 euros compared to 15 bucks...
I know it's nothing to talk about, but just wondering why there have to be that difference.
Well when a Euro country becomes a Superpower you will see that change. To bad that will never happen, unless the russians decided to sell their nukes.

Ahem.. Many European countries have Nukes, we pay more because we can afford to pay more. ROFL.
So when the hell are they launching open beta for people who have already paid for access to it in Europe?!

Sweet. Now drop the NDA.
its a press release. It doesnt get much more official than that. Unless MJ posting on a forum is more "official" to you.
GOA posted a confirmation on the Warhammer Alliance forums this morning, along with a link to the European site and press release.
So now we KNOW.

I think I just peed in my pance a little bit.
A dev on the Waralliance boards said the NDA will most likely drop next week.
Well, those subscription numbers are nearly 21$ USD, are they serious?
EDIT: Nevermind, just found the US Press Release and it is 14.99.
