After more than three years of development, Mythic’s “Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning”  has finally arrived to satiate the unquenchable appetites of online gamers the world over.

Quite the prophecy, but the game — called “WAR” for short —  mostly delivers on the lofty goals promised early on by Mythic’s development team:  To craft an MMO that brings both hardcore and mainstream gamers together while avoiding the boring, “grinding” aspects that make most other games of the genre eventually feel like a second job.

For those of you who don’t speak MMO, “grinding” means endlessly repeating tasks just to level your character and remain strong enough to stay competitive. To be an elite player in a traditional MMO can require 10 to 20 hours of grinding for each five to 10 hours of glory. But “WAR” avoids the grind by integrating leveling, acquiring new equipment, and player vs. player combat into one massive war effort that your entire faction is perpetually working to advance.
