War is everywhere in 'Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning' (WAR), the new MMORPG from the creators of Dark Age of Camelot. Based on Games Workshop's popular Warhammer fantasy war game, 'WAR' features next generation Realm vs. Realm (RvR) gameplay that immerses players into the game's world of perpetual conflict.

Upon entering 'Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning', players must determine their allegiance and join an Army. Those inclined towards the side of good may fight for the Armies of Order as an obstinate Dwarf, noble High Elf, or loyal human soldier of the Empire. Those inclined towards darker deeds may side with the sinister Armies of Destruction as a savage Greenskin (Orc or Goblin), corrupt Dark Elf, or marauding human worshipper of Chaos.

The ultimate goal in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's RvR combat is the sacking of an enemy's capital city. To do this, an army must invade and take control of the opposition's homeland. Deciding battles take place in 'Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning' on objective-based battlefields and in instanced scenarios - point-balanced battles that make use of NPC mercenaries known as Dogs of War.
