Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Status Update

EA Mythic called a press conference to talk about the status of their upcoming MMO WAR, and MMORPG.com offers coverage.
The game, Josh tells us, is still in closed beta and they have been testing mid-level Elven content. Paul was quick to point out that it wasn't an open beta, that it is a targeted beta (which prior MMORPG.com articles can describe). With all of the fuss recently over the semantics of beta naming, what seems like an innocent mistake now might come back to bit them, so I suppose it's better to continue to clarify now.


Right now, they are testing the high-level campaign as players fight between Altdorf (Empire)and Inevitable City (Chaos).

The next question that we will deal with here had to do with RvR. While we all know that RvR was invented (and trademarked) by Mythic, the question asked how RvR in Warhammer would differ from RvR in Mythic's other game, Dark Age of Camelot.

"We know what we're doing," Paul answered quickly in his typical spit-it-out style. "We actually understand how RvR works."
