Topic: Warhammer: Age of Reckoning (WAR)
Warhammer: Age of Reckoning is what seems to be the next popular mmo from Electronic Arts Mythic Entertainment who also developed the Dark Age of Camelot game. It is expected to dethrone the current popular game juggernaut World of Warcraft (WoW). It does not involve a level system in the traditional sense; rather you directly level your skills using experience points through either realm versus realm (RvR), player versus player (PvP), or player versus environment (PvE). You choose which direction your skills branch out to as well as abilities.(Goblin Shamans may choose to either focus either on healing, support/damage, or less specialized a.k.a. jack of all trades). The game is mostly PvP focused on battlefields; it is still possible to go without ever having PvP. There will be capitol raids as well. There are two sides (similar to WoW), Order and Destruction. There are three races (four within the Greenskins) within the two sides. The Order's races are Dwarves, High Elves, and Humans. The Destruction's races are Greenskins (Orcs and Goblins), Chaos (Chaos Humans and possibly mutant variations of Chaos Humans), and Dark Elves. There are four classes to each race (two for each of the Greenskin races). The races have specific race match ups (Greenskins vs. Dwarves, High Elves vs. Dark Elves, and Humans vs. Chaos Humans) although breaching into other races' wars is encouraged.
