Warhammer Online Land of the Dead Preview

Virgin Media is the latest online source to publish a preview of the Land of the Dead addition coming soon to Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
Land of the Dead is a huge desert area to the south that looks like a cross between Stargate and The Mummy. It's full of imposing pyramids, evil skeletons (there will be A LOT of Tome of Knowledge skeleton unlocks), monstrous mummies, giant stone statues and sand dunes that swirl as far as the eye can see. It's even got its own city, The Necropolis of Zandri. It's a beautiful place to gawp at, and is easily one of the better-looking MMO areas ever conceived (the approach to the Library of Zandri is jaw-dropping).

Before you get to see it for yourself, however, there's work to be done. For one, you'll have to be at least level 25 (Mythic recommends that you don't try until you're at least rank 30). The Land of the Dead is only accessible via Airships and Zeppelins, and only by one faction at any one time. To gain access you need to fill a resource meter by controlling Tier 4 zones and killing players in open RvR. Once done, your ride is fuelled and it's off you go time.
