It looks like the long wait is almost over! Electronic Arts and Mythic Entertainment have announced that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has gone gold. This means, essentially, that the game is ready to be sent to store shelves. Discs are being printed to go into boxes to be delivered into the waiting hands of anxious WAR fanatics. The press release for the announcement reminds us that the title will be launching on September 18th, with a retail price of $49.99. The collector's edition, of course, will see players in the game servers even earlier than that.

Said prolific Mythic CEO Mark Jacobs, "We've done our best to create the next great MMORPG experience, but it's the fans that will bring our world to life ... The Day of Reckoning approaches and it's going to be glorious! It's time to go to WAR." The game is set to launch in North America, Europe, and Oceania on the same day, meaning that all across the world we'll be readying for WAR together. Nothing left to do now but wait for the servers to reopen on the 7th. WAAUGH!

I was pretty harsh on my initial review of WAR. I'm a CB CE player and I was underwhelmed with my first few steps into the world of WAR. But having had some time to stroll around, pick up some PQs, do some pvp and level a little bit my opinions have changed slightly.

My biggest gripes were: combat speed, animations and UI responsiveness. MJ posted about how each of these issues are being addressed. If they can, in fact, improve on these areas I will be a happy camper.

WAAAR!!! Headstart is coming!! GO GO GO!!!

I'm so psyched, but not sure I'll be playing during open beta cause I don't know if I can handle losing my characters again. I think I will just roll classes that I'm not planning on playing after launch so that hopefully I don't get too attached to them.

3 weeks to decide between DoK or Warrior Priest...

Man, I want to get back into WAR. But I don't want any more beta, send me directly to head start. I am getting a bit tired of loosing my toons and want to see T3.
