 Stonking Great! October 30, 2008
In the words of Zero Punctuation, this game is (as I mentioned in the title) stonking great!
Takes the best elements from other MMO's and adds to it. The PvP (called RvR) isn't forced, and you can start as soon as you enter the game and not get blown up at the starting gate, so to speak.
Public quests are awesome! Some great gear can be had from them.
The map system is damn near perfect. No more wondering where this quest wants you to go, because it's highlighted on your map.
The only downside of WAR is the crafting, but it can be considered to not even be a downside. Crafting isn't a big part of the economy. Oh, and don't worry about money, you'll have plenty from quests.
The other stuff in the Collector's Edition is fantastic. The art book is enormous and beautiful. Comic is well done. And you also get in game rewards for purchasing the CE. Unique faces (they get mailed to you, don't be looking for them at the creation screen) and other rewards as well. Very well thought out!
I'm exceptionally glad that I sprung for the CE over the regular edition.

I was disappointed in the CE. The book was good, the small statue/figurine is nothing like what they shown on the box or here on amazon. about 1.5 inches high and all silver.. seriously all silver and no color. I was expecting something to put on my desk to look at, but in the end it will forever stay in the packaging, inside of the original box, inside of a closet.
waagh!!! October 27, 2008
This has to be one of the best mmorpgs to come out in a few years. the story is well driven and the action is there. There a few bugs in the game but no game is perfect, it is my opinion that this game is definitely a must have for all warhammer fans; whether you are a tabletop player or just a fan of the lore.

A very enjoyable game that balances the PVP more than most MMOs for people who are not identical level.
WAR - Quick review October 23, 2008
When a new MMO comes out there usually an accompanying Special Collector Edition of the game, War is No exception. Going over the value more so than the game you feel as if there should be a bit more inside for the price tag. Two hard cover books (Art and Comic) is a nice edition and a figure that usually costs $20. Feels as if it should have included a manual or a soundtrack. Or a book of Lore but since their own codex is pretty much included inside the game itself that would have been a bit redundant. :)
The game plays similarly to the other MMO's out there, level up, kill people in PVP. But when it comes down to PVP Combat i find really fun. Not much to say yet but overall i say Warhammer Online is a good MMO with some great established lore from years of table top gaming. Lets hope it can make it through the year (well course it will but i hope for more success!)
