WAR Collectors Edition Announced[and date]: DO WANT
 by Aertyr on 03.26.2008      14 comments






I was a WoW Slave. Who wasn't?

10/14/08 your life will change forever. That is, if your awesome.

That is until I discovered the magic of Warhammer. It all started with Warhammer 40k: Dark Crusade on vent. About 5 of us started to play it and learn of it's majesty. Now theres around 8 of us who play Soulstorm and the game just keeps getting better.

Warhammer is WoW with a soul. If you like MMO's or RPG's you need to do yourself a favor and get Warhammer. It's what the Emperor wills after all.

Seriously, this game already has 624,338 people signed up TO THE BETA and it's only getting bigger everyday.

If you pre-order period you can get into the open beta when it launches [100%].

In the Collectors Edition you get:

"* An exclusive Games Workshop miniature of the Greenskin leaders GRUMLOK and GAZBAG (Assembly and painting required)
* WARHAMMER ONLINE: PRELUDE TO WAR, a 128-page hardbound, original graphic novel
* THE ART OF WARHAMMER ONLINE, a 224-page hardbound collection of original game art
* Bonus In-Game Item – THE LIBRAMS OF INSIGHT, a special use XP-gain modifier
* Bonus Quests – Twelve (12) exciting in-game quests for further adventures on the frontlines
* Bonus Quest Rewards – Twelve (12) in-game items to aid you on your journeys
* Bonus Character Titles – Twelve (12) titles to show off your exploits to the world
* Bonus Character Customization Options – Twelve (12) unique character heads
* ONLY 60,000 COLLECTOR’S EDITIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN NORTH AMERICA! "

Top 5 Reasons you should care about WAR:

1) Warcraft is a blatant rip-off:
Warhammer has exsisted much longer then Warcraft and Starcraft which are both blatant rip-offs of Warhammer 40k and fantasy respectively. The only reason Blizzard has gotten away with this is because they make addicting as hell and pay witches to constantly channel magic LSD through your screen.

2) It's got the Emperor:
Seriously, FOR THE EMPEROR!

3) A MMO with a soul:
Mythic isn't as big as Blizzard by any means. But Warhammer is ages and ages old, has a setting and sticks with it. They know what players want [Lots of killing, lots of booze, scantly clad elf chicks, etc.] and need and how to make anything an amazing time. Who doesn't want to see Giant's get drunk and chuck Squigs at each other, honestly.

4) Evil is everywhere, once more it's fun:
There is no good side. There is no bad side. Order is corrupt and filled with witch-burning and cruel sacrifice and torture. Dark Elves are betraying everyone at all times, no exceptions. High elves are waging genocide against their brothers over power. Everything is fair game. Public quests and random quests will make this game epic.

5) WAR is everywhere:
War is going on, every second of playtime. You will be fighting in PvP from level one, helping players take over the world for your faction and slicing your opponents to bits. Everything you do helps out your army and the world actually CHANGES because of it. finally their is a reason to be taking sides.

If any MMO can knock WoW off it's pedestal it's this game, the Grandfather of it all. For the love Mythic, do me proud. If you love RPG's support us in this WAR against the real enemy that is WoW.

Seriously, check it out.

P.S. All you Stunties and Prancy high elf's can die. DESTRUCTION SHALL RAIN!

P.P.S. Seriously, I might be a little biased. But this is going to be amazing, no lie.

P.P.P.S. Order, I didn't mean it. Come play, I need someone to kill after all.

I only had a passing interest in this game until i saw all the stuff included in the collector edition, considered my soul loss
Go Man's Destructoid Blog
I don't know... personally, fantasy type stuff doesn't pull me in as much as it probably should. But, I'll wait until I can get a free demo, just to try it out. You've got my attention.
Demtor's Destructoid Blog
Hi, my name is Demtor and I'm addicted to a game thats not even out yet.

I am right there with you Aertyr. I've been reading about this game for a year and a half now on war-rvr.net. Podcasts and newsletters galore. This game is going to be everything that we all wished WoW could have been and more. Blood, guts and glory! No pickin' daisies to make wimpy potions, or knitting little sweaters to give +1 to Ice Protection. This game is about killing, and after that, more killing. RvR and PvP done correct, right from the get go. I can't wait!

Everyone better recognize the only force that can stop the sissy fest that is the World of Lootcraft.

I'll probably buy it, but I'm far from sold on. The delay seems necessary, but it is a good thing that they're taking their time rather than rushing it. Just wonder if they'll end up delaying it again (this is the 3rd time now...).
