Here is another Warhammer Online video. The focus of this video is the 4 archetypes of Warhammer Online. There is nothing really unique about Warhammer Online’s archetypes. You have your tank, melee dps, ranged dps and healers. However, while the archetypes aren’t unique, I am hopeful that Warhammer Online’s 24 classes will provide diverse gameplay.

Enjoy the Warhammer Online video!!

Warhammer Online released a new video giving more peeks at Warhammer Online. One thing that I would like to point out with this video is that the graphics look great. They seem to be a good compromise between World of Warcraft and Everquest 2. While they are cartoonish like WoW, the footage seems to be more detailed and a tad bit more realistic. I like what I see so far.

Another thing that I noticed was what appears to be a character cutting down a tree. I hope that this is how Warhammer Online’s harvesting system is going to work. I liked the way Vanguard has lumberjack cutting down real trees. This make harvesting much more realistic and engaging. This is a nice trend in mmorpgs.

Enjoy the video.

Here is the latest video from Warhammer Online. Not much new information is presented but these is a lot of footage of actual gameplay. Check it out.

Here is an awesome look at the actual Warhammer Online game. You can see the user interface, the character models and combat. Enjoy!!

There are currently two games that I am really looking forward to. One is Age of Conan and the other is Warhammer Online. I cannot wait to see Warhammer Online’s RvR system. Here is an overview of Warhammer.

Warhammer Online is an upcoming mmorpg from EA Mythic currently scheduled for launch in February 2008. Warhammer Online is based off of Games Workshop’s Warhammer fantasy table top role playing game. The table top game has been being played since 1984 and has created a huge following for this mmorpg.

In Warhammer Online you will have your choice of being a part of one of two opposing armies, the Armies of Order or the Armies of Destruction. The races comprising the Armies of Order are Dwarves, High Elves and the Humans of the Empire. Orcs, Goblins, Dark Elves and the Human worshipers of Chaos are the races in the Armies of Destruction.

The most innovative feature of Warhammer Online will be its Realm versus Realm (RvR) conflict system. Unlike most mmorpg player versus player (PVP) systems, Warhammer Online will combine PVP combat with player versus environment (PvE) combat. RvR will revolve around four types of battles. The first will be Skirmishes which will occur when players come across players from the other army in the persistent zones. The second type of RvR combat will be Battlefields. Battlefields will be objective based battles in the persistent zones. Scenarios will be the third type of RvR battle. These will be instanced zones where each army will have objective to achieve in order to claim victory. All of these RvR battles will precede the ultimate RvR Campaign where an army will invade a race’s territory and attack its capital city.

In addition to Warhammer Online’s RvR system, there will also be questing, exploration and great loot typical of all mmorpgs.
