Rumortoid: Hammers to war online this September photo
     Electronic Arts

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Mythic’s upcoming MMORPG that more than a few community members are looking forward to, is now expected to be coming out on September 23. This speculation was caused when EA, the game’s publisher, updated the product information of the Collector’s Edition to include this date.

It is possible that this could be another placeholder date, so, as always, we’ll need to wait for an official announcement before we can be 100 percent sure that Warhammer’s release date is only two months away.

Is this an MMO that you’ve been particularly looking forward to? Have the recent content cuts made you a bit wary of how it will turn out at launch?

One of the staff from Mythic was posting on a forum saying that they promise the last delay they had would be the last, so September sounds like it's set in stone. They said that any more delays would mean pushing it into 09', and I can't remember his exact words, but it was basically along the lines of "that's impossible".

The content cut was a bit of a shame, but I can understand why the cut them. The Choppa Orcs and the Black orcs were really no different, so I’m hoping they bring the choppas back with a bit more of a fun edge.

Does the amount of delay equal the quality in a game?
WAR delay: 1 month = slightly better
3 month = pretty good
6 months = ZOMG
9 months = ????
12 months = PROFIT!

@ Eschatos

Bah I don't know.

I want it, but I want to wait for patches to fix it up a bit.


WoW was horrid when it was released in 2004.

I'm still waiting to see how it actually plays. The beta I saw showed people walking up to eachother, and hitting. Which I could swear I've played before, and could use something else.
