| So you have heard lots of great things about this | | | | something you can actually hold in your hands. |
| brand new MMORPG from Mythic and EA Games | | | | The game will come on dvds and will no doubt |
| and you are wondering where to buy | | | | need updating before release with any changes |
| Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Well, you | | | | made during open beta. One advantage to buying |
| have two choices - you can go to a store and | | | | the retail version is having the actual disks in case |
| actually buy the box with discs and all or you can | | | | you have to ever reinstall the game. The box |
| sit right where you are and digitally download the | | | | sets also come with a Universal Fighting System |
| game right now. | | | | CCG demo deck - that's a collectible card game |
| There are advantages to either option, but I | | | | of sorts, for those that don't know that already |
| would definitely recommend you buy the | | | | (these may also just be available in the preorder |
| pre-order, assuming you are reading this before | | | | boxes, although no one has said for sure). |
| the release date of September 18th. The open | | | | You can purchase and download a digital copy of |
| beta begins on September 7th and all pre-orders | | | | Warhammer Online from certain file download |
| gain access to the open beta. Pre-orders also get | | | | sites. The advantage here is that it requires no |
| access to the Headstart Program that allows | | | | gas and just a few minutes to set up the |
| those who pre-order the game to begin before | | | | download. The game took me almost 24hours to |
| the release date and thus get a headstart on | | | | download, but it was during a high traffic time and |
| everyone else. Both versions of the pre-order | | | | my Internet's download is always slow. Besides, |
| come with a claimable jewelry item that gives | | | | you can spend that time researching Warhammer |
| some stats and a damage add proc that can only | | | | and all your race/class combinations to figure out |
| be used in PvE and Rittenbach's portable camp | | | | what you want to start playing. Whether you |
| that is supposed to allow you to rest better | | | | order your copy from Amazon in a box, or |
| between fights. The jewelry item's specific stats | | | | download it digitally, buy your copy of |
| vary based on where you get the game, but I | | | | Warhammer today. If you can still get the |
| am pretty sure that neither one of those items | | | | pre-order, I would highly recommend it. |
| will make or break the game for you. | | | | Warhammer Online is a great game - you don't |
| You buy Warhammer Online at select retailers in | | | | want to miss this one! |
| the box if you prefer to spend your $50 on | | | | |
