Haven't seen another post about it, so I thought I could start one.
This is a new MMORPG that's all about war. They've right now promised us 50vs50 in world PvP, but probably more. It seems like all of the camps will be captureable and you can also capture and loot the enemy city. They call PvP -> RvR and there you have everything you want:
Scenarios (Battlegrounds)
World PvP
Camp and city captureing
Leveling totally in PvP if you'd like
PvE quests agains the enemys, so that if you have a quest to build something, the enemy might get a quest to burn it down.
Siege engines will probably be implended, even if it's "just" a badass catapult that fire you over the enemy walls.
Also, everything you do, every quest, ever PvP kill will have an effect on your battlefront that eventually contribues to captureing the enemys city. (There are 3 battlefronts) Also, have public quests which means that you everyone in the zone have the same quest which you do together, either in same group or everyone by themselves.
Another neat feature is that if you kill for exampel 10 bear, and then get a quest to kill 10 bears, the quest giver will have noticed that you've already killed 10 bears, and therefor you get the reward imedietly (Can be compared to world of warcraft where you'd have to kill another 10 bears for to claim the reward).
There is currently a beta up, however I haven't got lucky enough to get into it.
The graphics are slightly better then wow(but since wow is so poorly optimised for todays computers so they might have pretty much the same system requierments).
The system requierments haven't been released yet but a beta tester that have leaked have said that it worked on highest on his 7900GTX go, but not by how much past. But any stationary 7 series should probably be able to go with highest on a standard monitor.
The game seems pretty good and I've already booked it. This is gods gift to PvPers as it's a great PvP focused game based on "Warhammer fantasy" by gamesworkshop, (Warhammer fantasy came 23 years ago).
For all of those you think it's a copy of World of warcraft, it's easy to think so but it's the other way around. Blizzard have taken all their base ideas from Warhammer, interesting facts:
Warcraft 1 Orcs and Humans were originally going to be a Warhammer game before blizzard took or bought the game.
All Starcraft races are Warhammer inspired:
Zerg -> Tyrranids
Terrans -> Space marines
Protoss -> Eldar concept but with different look
Ofc nothing wrong with them, I think it's great that Blizzard took that and created souch great games from it.
So this is what I'll probably spend the next 2-4 years with
I haven't decided class yet but it'll probably be Destruction (Thinking Black orc or Black guard). Would be happy to hear any information or commens or just talk about the game in this post.
If this is in any way violating the forum rules (I don't think it should) feel free to remove the part or the entire post if necessary.
Your preview about Warhammer is interesting. I really want to try it out but the idea of it being PvP and RvR focused turns me off. Sounds like it is Combat Intensive, which is great for a unique idea but I wonder how much would it last for players to PvP before getting bored.

your article was very interesting. I had a question for you, maybe you know something about it. I dont understand how these Mini castles that guilds capture and control is going to work, like yes its a very aswome idea but how are they going to set it up? Will there only be 40-50 of them for Guildgs to capture and take over?Or will there be hundreds of them spread out over the maps? I saw on the Warhammer podcast if im correct they said somthing about a 24 hour time spand for when u get a castle and the longer you and your guild hold it the more experience you get. But if there are going to be thousands of players, and hundreds or thousands of different guilds how is everyone going to be able to get a castle?

i hope it will be a nice game. I also liked 40k as one of the best RTS. I also collect miniatures and i really like to see them in battle on PC. _________________ GREEK RIFLEs!!
