"For the last three years, the entire team at Mythic has poured their hearts into making Warhammer Online the next great MMORPG. We are so excited to open up this world and share it with the fans that will live in it, quest in it, go to war in it and make it come alive."

Fans looking forward to laying siege to their enemy’s capital city will have several pricing options available, beginning with a $14.99 monthly subscription. Additionally, collectible 30- and 60-day prepaid Game Time Cards will be available at many game retailers. WAR subscription options include:

Just curious, I;'ve played the beta, but will there be actual graphic options to increase the graphics so they are ACTUALLY up to par with at least WoW? Currently they are not even close.

how can you have so much fail in so little words.... wows graphics arent even close to warhammers, even at max quality wows graphics are going to be on par with wars standard graphics, go look at some screenshots, during closed beta they are testing out mechanics and crap, they are working on that rather that upping graphics for a select few to see... seriously, do some research before you post here... and like almost every single computer game, of course it is going to have graphics options, they have "minimum requirements" not "requirements." minimum being lowest quality graphics, and by the way, wow takes a 1.66 processor min (thats what i use at least, not sure if it goes lower), war takes a 2.5. processor = graphics.

Actually its not the processor that determines how good the graphics are gonna be... its the Video Card requirements... L2 tell what hardware effects what part of the game.

Edit: The fact that WAR is asking for a 128mb Video Card that supports Pixel Shader 2 means there's a VERY good chance that the graphics are gonna be better then WoW. But graphics don't make a game great.

well, processor helps.... i cant remember the exact function it does, but it does involve the graphics... i believe its speed, you cant have a great graphics card and a terrible processor, so technically, they are both needed... but i was wrong, gg, ill get over it.

He's talking about in Beta. We can't say much because, well, we're in Beta, so you wouldn't even know what he was talking about. So your statement that he's full of fail is pretty arrogant and uneducated. Your post is horribly unconstructive.

well, learn to look at screenshots and video podcasts of the gameplay, if you call watching videos and crap about it arrogant, then consider me arrogant. i dont care what you think, i have seen videos of gameplay, thats where i get my knowledge from, rather than some guy saying hes in beta when he clearly isn't.
