This is one sweet looking goblin thing. He’ll kill your ass.

My brother was over during the weekend and he had heard about this new game from Mythic called Warhammer Online. Now, my brother is a big fan of Mythic Games. He played Dark Ages of Camelot for many a year before we lured him to the dark side with World of Warcraft. This kid was creating new characters on Dark Ages of Camelot and getting them to the highest level possible in like 8 hours. Tis sad.

I also am a fan of Mythic games. Back in or around 1999, when I was a dashing lass in high school, I met a fellow who showed me the light with a Mythic game called Darkness Falls: The Crusade. Now, Darkness Falls was a MUD, which is defined on Wikipedia as so:

In computer gaming, a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon or Domain or Dimension) is a multi-player computer game that combines elements of role-playing games, hack and slash style computer games and social chat rooms. Typically running on a bulletin board system or Internet server, the game is usually text driven, where players read descriptions of rooms, objects, events, other characters, and computer-controlled creatures or non-player characters (NPCs) in a virtual world.

A lot of definition for what is basically an online role playing text based game. I spent like 20 minutes looking for a screenshot of the game, but apparently no one takes pictures of text based role playing games. I guess that’d be kind of like taking a picture of you playing D&D… it just doesn’t express the fun you are having unless you are there.

Anyways… I loved Darkness Falls: The Crusade. It made you used your imagination more than these new fangled 3d games. You could also have professions, be in guilds and be things like vampires. Vampires are awesome and no one puts vampires in their games anymore. DAMNIT.

Mythic also had a bunch of other games, such as Spellbinder, which was a online game that was first player… kind of like Counter Strike, but you used magic instead of bullets. The same goes for their game, Splatterball Plus. Also an online game like Counter Strike, but instead of bullets they use…. go ahead and guess. Just try to guess. YES PAINTBALLS. They created another MMORPG called Dragon’s Gate. I never played this game, so I can’t tell you what it’s like, but I assume it’s alright.

So, as you can see, Mythic has been around for quite some time. It comes as no surprise that they are going to be putting out a new online game called Warhammer: Online.

Here is a look at their trailer:

Mmm… pretty trailer clicky.

Now… I KNOW there is no way that the game is going to look like this. But, the game does look pretty cool, anyways. It has lots of screenshots that you can view on Warhammer’s site. Click here to view them all.

The game sounds pretty cool… when you take a look at the game overview, you get a couple of main points as to why this game is going to be the bestest MMORPG EVER… here are some of them, so that I do not bore you:

• Based on Games Workshop’s popular Warhammer fantasy world. Dominated by force of arms and magic, this world provides a rich setting for hundreds of thousands of players to experience the epic nature of war and the glory of battle.
• Join one of six Armies and fight for the Armies of Order (Dwarf, High Elf and Empire) or the Armies of Destruction (Greenskin, Dark Elf, or Chaos). Wage war across three unique battlefronts.
• Next generation Realm vs. Realm game system integrating both PvP combat and PvE quests on the same map in support of the greater war.

So, they game is really focusing on the war aspect of the game. It also mentions that everything you do has a point to it… and is for the betterment of the War. Ahhh, sounds awesome.

They’re doing some beta testing, so if you want, sign up and see if you’re one of the lucky few to get on.
