  • The graphics look amazingly close to the table top miniatures and book art.  I'm extremely happy with it.  Also remember who influenced warcrafts cartoony look. The pencil/paper RPG was much more dark and gritty, but I don't think that captures th…

  • http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setview/features/loadFeature/653/gameID/239 "Many people have been wondering about Chaos. For fans of evil and humans, that is the next racial pair coming down the development pipeline. From a story perspective, …
  • Wood elves and Skaven do seem like a good pairing for an expansion.   They're both lighter armored and focus more on ambush and cunning.  They're both isolationists, but as mentioned above, wood elves have formed alliances with good in past when the…

  • I'm not really concerned who came up with "green orcs" first, but there's no denying that warcraft borrowed on the graphical similarity to the Warhammer minitures.  There's also that same sense of morbid humor quality to them.  Tolkien and D&D o…
  • sorry, forum playing tricks with me and giving error messages, so I accidentally posted 3 times.
  • the mmorpg images aren't there yet, but so far the greenskins and dwarves are staying pretty true to the minitures for the table top game.  Here's a link to minitures.  The chaos in the mmorpg is stated to be a mix of Hordes of chaos and beasts o…

  • Agreed with above, given that the whole premise of the table top game is to have 13 (roughly) separate armies all fighting eachother.  However, to make the mmorpg work they gave a back story of Empire, dwarves and High Elves coming together out of n…
  • Another possibility I thought of is that some races won't be playable but will remain in game as PVE enemies only.  Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts and Wood Elves come to mind.  Hopefully not the case though.
  • Agreed. A comment recently posted under the hypemeter actually suggests "copyright infringement" on the part of WAR.  I'm positive the figures have been around longer than WOW, and most of them longer than Blizzard.  It's going to be interestin…
  • I think the fan base it initially attracts (and quit) and the fan base that enjoy this style mmorpg and will stay aren't necessarily the same.
  • I doubt it will happen. For the people who like to fret though I include this snippet from that same article: "To be clear, Mythic is not announcing an Xbox 360 version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, but in what was purportedly a period …
  • FAQ on WARs official site stated PC only.  I doubt it will make xbox.  PC and Mac are probably it.
