Based on Games Workshop's epic and longstanding tabletop fantasy war game, Warhammer Online features revolutionary
Realm vs. Realm™ (RvR) gameplay that immerses players in a world of perpetual conflict. Warhammer Online: Age of
Reckoning is scheduled for launch on the PC in the Fall of 2008.

About Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ (WAR)

War is everywhere in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR), the new fantasy MMORPG from the creators of Dark Age
of Camelot™. Based on Games Workshop's wildly successful Warhammer tabletop fantasy war game, this world provides a rich
setting for hundreds of thousands of players to experience the epic nature of war and the glory of battle.

Players are thrust into a grim world of perpetual conflict to fight for the Realms of Order (Dwarfs, High Elves, and Empire) or
Destruction (Greenskins, Dark Elves, and Chaos). Next generation Realm vs. Realm™ game play ensures that players are
never fighting alone. With an army of allies at their back, players will defend their homeland, invade enemy Realms, and
ultimately lead the siege of their enemy's Capital City. Every aspect of the game - every player, every quest, every encounter,
and every battle - can turn the tide of the ongoing war and mean victory for a player's Realm!

For the first time ever, players can engage in Public Quests™ - multi-stage, communal quests to be completed by allied players
fighting together against overwhelming odds. They can also embark on an epic quest to complete the Tome of Knowledge and
unlock Warhammer lore, detailed monster information, new abilities, rewards, and major story plotlines. Drawing from a quarter
century of highly detailed source material, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning will bring Games Workshop's fantasy world to
life in a way that will allow players to create characters destined for great deeds on the field of battle.
