Warhammer Report From Paris by Your Roving Reporter - Erebus

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, and oh how I have been waiting. And I am not alone; as I write this there are over 600 000 people who have applied for the upcoming beta, which is the highest number ever in the history of MMORPG-games. It is therefore with great pleasure and a bit of pride that I on behalf of Freddys House was able to attend the Warhammer Press event in Paris.

The game development for Warhammer Online began under the company Climax Online, a project that later was officially cancelled in 2004 as the roll-out costs were said to be too high. Luckily for us this was not the end of the game development as Mythic with bags of gold from EA came to the rescue in 2005 and brought new energy to the project. Mythic has previously created the successful Dark Ages of Camelot, a game that I thoroughly enjoyed, and are hoped to make another great success.

MMORPGS have been a great interested for me for a long time. Being hooked from the early stages of Asheron’s Call, continued with Dark Ages of Camelot, Starwars Galaxies and as like many others World of Warcraft. With Mythic’s experience of creating Realm v Realm MMOs I am looking forward to the release of Warhammer Online.
