What's the fun part of Warhammer Online

Graphically the 3D engine of Dark Ages of Camelot, their first MMORPG, is used. Of course the necessary upgrades have been done and the game has a beautiful atmosphere. Don't expect super deluxe high end graphics, but an atmospheric style that can go for a long time. The advantage of this is that the game can run on less strong PCs. Also the surroundings all have a very high Warhammer feeling, you really feel like being in a warzone. The sound is pretty standard and not something to write home about but the voice-overs do fit the races. The background music on the other hand becomes monotone pretty quickly.Next to a Warhammer encyclopedia you can also unlock certain titles for your character by killing a certain number of monsters or for instance by clicking on yourself for one hundred times.

The biggest weakness of the game is that PvP plays mostly in the instanced and hi-end zones. This makes that the lower and mid level zones are sometimes deserted. The developers have promised to make some changes to this but the question remains whether they'll be able to do this quickly. The players after all pay a monthly fee for this game and want to see the necessary progress.Mythic Entertainment actually does something with this. There's a Tome of Knowledge and this contains all information on the monsters you've encountered or locations you've visited.
