Warhammer Online for Windows

Pros: Challenging yet fun PVP Gameplay; great Storyline and Upside potential
Cons: $15 Monthly Fee. Work in Progress. Newer Hardware Required.

This review is written from the point of someone who has played numerous MMORPG's in the past. I played Asheron's Call for 2 years, Earth and Beyond 6 months, Star Wars Galaxies 6 months, World of Warcraft 4 years off and on, Beta for several other ...

Pros: PVPing, it's what keeps the game challenging
Cons: No "WOW" or "IT" factor. Nothing new to MMORPG

A Simple Overview: I have waited for over 2 years for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning to finally show up because I was tired of playing World of Warcraft. I started my MMORPG gaming back in Everquest 1, next I moved to Lineage 2, ...

Pros: PVP based, entertaining gameplay, nice graphics.
Cons: PVP based.  Glitches, bugs, lag, unbalanced gameplay compliments of poorly thought out nerfs.

Imagine Warcraft, but better graphics, better gameplay, and 90% pvp based, with better rewards.  Having come from Warcraft I thought this game was awesome. Player quests are designed to allow both group and solo play so you can still get the end rewards even if you don't want to spend all week with the same raid group.  If I wrote this review a week ago I would having nothing but praise.  Most notable would have been my compliments towards balanced gameply.  However, recently the developers have issued a patch: #1.06 which has radically changed over half of the classes everyone has been playing.  Some have become vastly stronger while others have been nerfed (weakened) to a serious extent. Gameplay is unbalanced now, experienced players are quick to realize this and take full advantage in pvp.  From my experience, my main character (max level 40) was nerfed into oblivion after 3 months of gameplay, and so I do not recommend this game.
