Realm vs. Realm
Upon entering WAR, players must determine their allegiance and join an army. Those inclined towards the side of good may fight for the Realm of Order as an obstinate Dwarf, noble High Elf, or loyal human soldier of the Empire. Those inclined towards darker deeds may side with the sinister Realm of Destruction as a savage Greenskin (Orc o r Goblin), corrupt Dark Elf, or marauding human worshiper of Chaos. RvR combat takes place on three fronts where ancient foes wage an unending war ? Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, High Elf vs. Dark Elf, and Empire vs. Chaos. Players begin the game fighting their ancestral enemy, but are free to journey to other fronts to help their allies in their ongoing struggles.

The ultimate goal in RvR combat is the sacking of the enemy?s capital city. To do this, an army must invade and take control of the opposition?s homeland. Deciding battles take place in the persistent game world on objective-based battlefields and around fortified keeps that must be taken or defended, as well as in instanced Scenarios that contribute to zone control.

A New Way to Quest
For the first time, players can engage in Public Quests; these community driven Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests help to advance the game?s story and allow all allied players within a certain location to participate in an ongoing, multi-stage battle. This is an example of how every aspect of the game, including PvE content, is geared towards the greater war in some important way. Players are not required to participate in Player vs. Player (PvP) combat, and may aid in the RvR war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via PvE content.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Collector's Edition Reviews

After years of WoW, Warhammer PVP is a breath of fresh air. The collector edition has awesome art books, paintable ork, and other goodies that made it feel like it was worth more money, and not just a bigger box, like most games. Addicting and fun.

This is a Great Game, i Play alot of Online Games, and i have to say this is the best Out there.

The size of the box alone is ludicrous, it is, for all intents and purposes a big, shiny, ****-off box, it is numbered, and it is nice to look at. All in all, the purchase was well worth the money spent. Considering the myriad reviews of the game itself, I'll make it a point to focus on the Collectors Edition box:. The overall impression I got from the effort Mythic put into their CE box appearance alone was that they actually wanted you to give a damn about their game's special edition, this is further evidenced by actually opening the thing up. There are also four exclusive in-game items that arrive in your characters' mailboxes: one is a head model item that varies by race, one is a limited-use (three charges) book that increases your experience gain, and the other two begin race-specific quests that, upon completion will grant you even more exclusive goodies. Forget a small piece of cel-art and a special item or two; this beast comes with a very well done art book (hardcover), a graphic novel collection explaining the story leading up the events in the game (also hardcover), and a small metal miniature (depicting the Ork Warboss Grumlok and his Shaman adviser Gazbag) paying homage to Warhammer in its original form as a tabletop wargame.

The other stuff in the Collector's Edition is fantastic. Crafting isn't a big part of the economy. The map system is damn near perfect.

Takes the best elements from other MMO's and adds to it. Some great gear can be had from them. Unique faces (they get mailed to you, don't be looking for them at the creation screen) and other rewards as well. And you also get in game rewards for purchasing the CE. Public quests are awesome.

I'm exceptionally glad that I sprung for the CE over the regular edition. 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. Comic is well done. The only downside of WAR is the crafting, but it can be considered to not even be a downside. In the words of Zero Punctuation, this game is (as I mentioned in the title) stonking great. The art book is enormous and beautiful.

Very well thought out. No more wondering where this quest wants you to go, because it's highlighted on your map. Oh, and don't worry about money, you'll have plenty from quests.

I was disappointed in the CE. about 1.5 inches high and all silver. 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. seriously all silver and no color. The book was good, the small statue/figurine is nothing like what they shown on the box or here on amazon.
