Warhammer Age of Reckoning is due on the shelves in the second Quarter of 2008, that is, if it's not delayed again. Over 600,00 applicants have signed up for the Beta phase of the game; and it has won several "Most Anticipated" awards among others. There is no single word that can describe WAR, but I sailed on a quest to gather more information about it since I've seen quite a few threads here and there about how it compares to WoW. I don't intend to go into every single detail here, just a quickie for discussion purposes.

Once Upon a War

Warhammer made its debut on 1983, it was written by Bryan Ansell, Richard Haliwell and Rick Prestley. It was a tabletop war game, created by Games Workshop called Warhammer Fantasy Battle. It included races such as:

• Elves
• Dwarfs
• Undead
• Orcs
• Goblins
• Vampires

Since it's release it has been periodically re-released and updated. The latest version dates from September 9th 2006.

Okay, so when did Warhammer first jump into our PCs? It happened in 1995, the title of the game was Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat.

Shadow of the Horned Rat didn't got much attention, because it was very buggy and difficult at the time of it's release. Neverthel

Comparison:

It looks similar to Eudemons, Conquer Online, Diablo 2, and Justice Xwar 2.

First impression:

When you login for the first time you don't get any kind of introduction to the game, I got directly from the login screen to character creation menu, there are four classes, two factions and you can choose a male or female character. I was hesitant to choose either of the factions, because I had no information to determine the difference between them. However, I chose Dynasty mostly because I liked the sound of it.

I started in the forest, the in-game tutorial is very clear ,it has pictures and the font is readable. Exploring is a bit tricky, because you can't see much ahead, the map is your best friend, and as for me the primary navigation mode.

I have waited so long to give Mabinogi a try. I watched all of the trailers and read all of Hyuk's guides. I've tried to distract myself with other MMOs but mehh, who am I kidding?I want to play it soo badly.

   So after being very patient today I downloaded the client, I had already registered my account and I a proceeded to the routine struggle with gameguard to make the game work. I think gameguard is a device that guards you from running the game in your first attempt. But oh well, I'll save my bullets for gameguard, because they need a post of their own.

   Long story short, FilePlanet made a deal with Nexon and got the first 24 hours of the game exclusively for "North American" members of their Free MMO Club in their words: "Free-To-Play Online Games with Bonus content for Suscribers". It doesn't even sound good…Anyway, I was just desperate to try this game, so I signed up for an account with my "Spam me,I don't check it anyway"-email and click through the activations like fire to get my open beta key.

That was when the ordeal begun, this is what I got:

Last week was a long one for me, I worked very hard, and a lot of things went wrong. During the week I became very excited because I learned about Infinity Online because of Platy's post. I went to the website, and the classes were very eye catching to me. Even though I don't get very hyped about games very often I did for Infinity Online.

I got a CB key and I registered my account, I was very happy and waited patiently for my client to download. Soon I will find out I couldn't play because there is anIP ban on American countries. I was very annoyed and decided I wouldn't have any of it. So I got on an airplane and arrived in France, bought an apartment and enrolled in the Ecole Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancée. Then I turned on my computer and played while watching the Eiffel Tower through my window.....Well that pretty much happened when I was planning on how to play... but I found another solution that didn't involve leaving home.

Welcome To Infinity Online

The first thing that got me from Infinity is the music, most games' music are not very in connection with the game theme itself, but with Infinity this is not a problem.

   Interview with developer for Feeria, the game is currently under development, and you can find the developer’s blog right here on MMOSite Game Blogs. 

What is your name and your role in the Feeria development?

My name is Andrzej and I’m responsible for all from characters arts and for level design. My friends are responsible for model design and background ideas.

Where are the Feeria development headquarters located?

Poland, Warsaw. Right now at my home.

What other projects have you worked on before Feeria?

It was a 2D game called Fury.  

In short what is the plot of Feeria?

Maybe I will elaborate about that later on the game page.

How many races are contemplated for the first release and what are their names?

How big will the game maps be?

Don’t expect maps size like in World of Worldcraft, but they will be big enough and suitable for gameplay.

What types of landscapes are we going to see?, cold places, deserts, swamps?

Deserts and beautiful green meadows. 

Will it be  open PVP or will it have safe and unsafe areas?

On this article you will find a collection of facts and features about the upcoming game Darkfall Online. I hope you find it useful.

The Makers

Aventurine is a company… that.. that.. err, wait, umm *cough* that…*sigh* that…is making Darkfall. What?, ahh you wanted more information?, well I set sail in the Dakfall boat, and surfing the web for information about this company is as hard as killing a dragon with a toothpick.

In a nutshell, Aventurine is based in Greece, they have made flight simulators for the Greek government and they don't have released any visible games. The Darkfall development started approximately in 2001, and they have a developer journal that they publish regularly.

Nevertheless, I found a very interesting post, where a poster drafted a timeline of howAventurine ended up baking the cake.
