In the last blog, I went in to some of my experiences so far in Warhammer Online, talking a bit about the regular quests as well as the amazing public quests. But one of the biggest draws to WAR is the Realm vs Realm (RVR) combat. Click onward for more…

Warhammer Online: Impressions, Part 1
Everyone knows I’m an EVE nut, but overall I’m a big fan of the MMO genre. As such, I like to give every game a fair shake, and where possible I try to do so at launch.
Age of Conan (AoC) is one that I got on day one, and was largely disappointed with the result. The lore of Conan is deep, but while playing the game I just didn’t feel the connection to it, and the gameplay didn’t seem to have the depth to keep me hooked.
Now with Warhammer Online (WAR) out, we have a game which is based on the ridiculously successful Warhammer table-top game, which I admittedly never got into (my wallet is thankful for that). Early media previews dubbed it a World of Warcraft (WoW) killer, and that always freaks me out because it usually means “WoW clone”. But click onward, and read about my first impressions of this hotly anticipated MMO.
EVE Ship Models In the Wild
Recluse Viramor has received a nice new Megathron model from the CCP Store, and has been gracious enough to post a pile of pictures online for us all to gaze in awe at.
The bluey-ness of the ship is caused by a matte finish reflecting the wonderfully clear day outside, so it’s not like the model is painted that way. It seems the models are as reflective of their environment as the ships are in the game. Very cool.
Also, these things are monsters! Looks like you get what you pay for. A lot of people have expressed concerns over the expense of these things, but given the size and detailing I think it’s pretty justified.
