Might be old news...a search turned up nothing though.

More interested in the fantasy RTS myself, because I can play Skaven

I can just see the tag line.

More spikes and edges per inch than all the leading MMOG's combined!

Yeah, an RTS in this setting is more interesting imho, where you can zerg with Skaven or ride in with a Champion of Khorne riding a Juggernaut!

Nurglingswarms etc!

Warhammer is the best setting for a fantasy-rts imho.

But MMORPG isn't that appealing.

here's a few FAQ types for anyone thats followign this game:

So far it sounds more similar to Guild Wars than anything else. I'm gathering so far that there is very little character development (no levels, no support classes, easy progression, few timesinks) and very little PvE focus. I'd even go so far as to guess that there is no end-game PVE intended, everything just seems to be a means to become stronger in PVP.

I still can't believe they opted for a Warhammer MMORPG in a market that's already oversaturated with fantasy. They should've gone for a 40k MMORPG of some kind and at least have a new setting to entice people.

Btw, the screenshots look better than anything Vanguard has shown so far IMO. I may buy it just to see some Warhammer favorties in 3D since it appears they're doing pretty well on keeping the character and themes of the backstory alive.

i wouldnt say the quality is better or worse than vanguard, but they seem to be adapting the warhammer style wonderfully, which goes a long way.

Lovin the maps the Greenskins made.

I assume they mean vampires with bludsucker.

Dum Stuntie stuff won me over!
