Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Previews

Both GameSpot and IGN have conjured up a new previews of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, after checking out EA Mythic’s PvP-heavy MMORPG firsthand at the Leipzig Games Convention. An excerpt from GameSpot’s article:

Next up was a guided tour of the Empire’s capital city, Altdorf, which dwarfs just about any city that we’ve seen in a massively multiplayer game to date. Altdorf’s architecture has a distinctly European feel about it, and although the sheer size of the city is a little intimidating, there appear to be plenty of landmarks that’ll go some way to ensuring that you don’t get lost. The Bright Wizard College, for example, is a tower so tall that you can’t even see the top of it from the ground. The college is continuously spewing smoke and ash into the air, which means that even on a sunny day, the skies close to it take on a deep red hue.

And an excerpt from IGN’s article:

On the Dark Elf side, players can make use of the new Witch Elf, which is Warhammer Online’s only real answer to the rogue. She’s by far the sexiest of the entire roster, not because she’s the only female in the group, but because there’s more fabric in her boots than there is in the rest of her outfit. Though she’s a rogue type character, she’s also a front line fighter who can make use of powerful elixirs and poisons to boost her combat effectiveness. She also uses positional attacks to deal even more damage to enemies.
