Over the weekend, Mythic Entertainment held a large-scale preview play test for its upcoming Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, in which closed beta participants and a select number of preorderers were given an advance look at the fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The player reception was apparently strong, as Mythic today has stamped shippable code gold in advance of the PC game"s September 18 launch date.

Warhammer Online CD key will be available at retail for $50, with a $15 subscription fee being assessed following the first 30 days of play. An $80 collector"s edition warhammer CD key–which featured a pewter miniature, a graphical novel, an art book, and a number of in-game extras–was also briefly available at retail, but Mythic confirmed that the premium limited edition quickly sold out after it was initially announced earlier this year.
