Default Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning.

So, Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning is out on the 18th.

Who's getting it? I know I will be. I was in the closed BETA and I was very impressed by it, it should be a nice change from WoW.

I can just imagine that release day is going to be crazy and there's going to be lots of downtime.

Yeah I know what you mean.

Before AOC was out, all of the WoW forums were spammed with stuff like AOC is going to kill WoW, blah blah etc etc, it got really over hyped.

To be honest I don't think anything that gets released will kill WoW, it's very polished and it'd take something really good to steal 10 million subscribers.

I think WAR will be a nice change, but it definatly wont be a WoW killer.

I'm not sure from press release etc what will be much different from WoW if you ignore the 'skin differences' i.e. Greenskin instead of Orc etc etc etc.

I guess it's something that has to be played to realise??

Yeah defiantly. IMO Warhammer doesn't feel like it's been a WoW clone unlike some of the other MMO's out there. It has a lot of unique features to it and if you're into MMO's you should defiantly check it out.

Im playing WOW again with my mate, as we have the triple XP incentive, so ill probably leave it until the bugs are ironed out, and our 3 months triple are up.

Just pre ordered this from game, it was the cheapest I could find it.

I'm unsure about the delivery though, I don't know if they'll ship it before the release date, or on the release date.

Any one got any ideas?

Cheers.

Game usually ship so that it arrives on the release date. Sometimes if you're lucky, it arrives the day before release.
Pity you hadn't pre-ordered before Sunday, play.com were doing a special offer with their pre-orders so you'd receive early access and 2 in-game items free.
