You might be wondering if this game is for you. You will see a lot of people out there that claim this game is better than that game. I usually call them fan boys of the games they are championing. MMORPG games are a taste test, every person has different taste. I usually fall into the best graphics area of MMOs. I like high detailed graphics in games so I can test the capabilities of my home grown PC. That was until I got into the Warhammer beta. During beta, I think I submitted maybe 5 errors; I played a lot, not to get ahead, but just to play the game. In all MMOs I have played, I have rushed to get to the end only to be found wanting more. Well in Warhammer I don't feel rushed to just level up. I can explore, go into a scenario, find quest, join a public quest, go PK, attack a keep, work on crafting and be effective at level 5 (yes level 5). But there is something else that most games can't deliver, the sense of being wanted, or being part of something bigger and making it fun. This game delivers that sense of purpose that other games strive to grab. Community is just like any other game; you have your idiots and your cool guys. The graphics is better than WOW, but not as detailed as AOC, but serve their purpose. There is a minor glitches, but coming from AOC and Vanguard, it is nothing. Travel is fast paced and plenty of places to hide for ambushes or being ambushed. The PvP is there and you will get involved, because the game flows into that direction. You will find yourself doing a quest, when a NPC tells you to go to town and collect an item. Well that town is guarded by enemy NPC guards, and other players. That is where the fun starts. Because if you get the first kill, well you just tasted blood and if you get killed, if you have any backbone, you want revenge. And revenge is very sweet in this game. If your scared of dying, not to worry, because you will die, a lot and then some. All in all, it is a very good game, and one I will be with for along time. For I have found what I have been looking for, a place to call home.

Graphics: (8/10) If you are playing an MMO, odds are graphics are not your main concern. With everything cranked to max, some of the areas are vastly above other MMO's, save perhaps Age of Conan, while still others are... Read Full Review
I personally haven't had so much fun levelling in a game, ever. There's simply never a dull moment. There's your usual questing/exploration, with a lot of variation in both. Then there's Scenarios you can join with a cli... Read Full Review
