Warhammer MMORPG
Although I would really prefer a Warhammer 40K MMORPG be created for my entertainment, I’m not above being interested in the alternate universe of Warhammer Fantasy. It’s not as interesting to me but at least it’s something. The online game version, which has been in development for a very long time now, has been shaping up to be a pretty involved game. I’m still not sure how they will stick to some of the core conventions of the Warhammer table top games but maybe they won’t need to.
Some say that this is looking a lot like World of Warcraft but that is really unfair and untrue since Warhammer has been out for at least 20 years longer than Warcraft. Warcraft owes a hell of a lot to the Warhammer games in it’s races and designs. However now it looks like Warhammer is taking at least one queue from Blizzard. They are releasing a very cool looking collector’s edition of the game that is now available for pre-orders. Considering I bought a collectors edition box set for both releases of World of Warcraft so far, I am definitely their target audience here.
Yes this version will cost a lot more and no it’s not really worth it in the long run but dammit if I am going to buy this game I don’t want it unless I can have the collector’s edition. I am a sucker for cool marketing and this just looks awesome. Add to that the requisite exclusive in-game content and I’m sold. Yeah I know. It’s a sickness….
