The Collector’s Edition of “WAR”–complete with a unique miniature, the fully localized graphic novel, an art book, and various in-game rewards–will be available for 2499 Rub. The limited edition Steelbook Version–which will be the normal retail game in steelbook packaging–will be available for 899 Rub. And, finally, the regular ol’ jewel case version without the packaging bells and whistles can be purchased for 449 Rub. 60-day prepaid cards will also be available from day one, and will include, for some reason, a free beverage coaster. So you can have a place to place your drink while you play, I guess. MMORPG players are all about preventing water rings.After finally completing the Knight of the Blazing Sun and Blackguard classes in December, “Warhammer Online” marches on into new, unexplored territory fraught with danger and peril.

Launching in North America, Europe, and Oceania in September 2008, “Warhammer Online” has been the most successful MMORPG in the “World of Warcraft” era–outside of the genre giant, that is. Now that the game’s spreading to other territories, including Russia and Korea, its success will only grow more.Actually, the game is just finally officially being released in Russia. Today, Mythic Entertainment has announced that “WAR” will go live in Russia starting February 5, 2009.
