To start, here are two videos:

And the more recent one:

The race/class index:

Needless to say, I have purchased this game and am currently participating in the open beta. Post any comments, questions, and related statements about Warhammer Online in this thread.

I've heard from several sources that White Lions are, for the lack of better words, "Broken". Is this true?

Also, Mythic has been claiming to work on the game since they received feedback on the Beta playing, have you noticed any improvement to the gameplay over time [this is to those who've been playing]?

I have just started to play yesterday, and so I do not know much. I have yet to see anything I do not like about the game, however.

'Ey, ya git! S'spelleded Orc, onlee in da futur iz it Ork. Git it roight or me'll bash yer 'ed!

Beyond the criticism from the WoW forums [which I find suspect, if only because there's been nothing but negative stuff on them since WAR was announced], I've only heard good about WAR. Heck, the only thing I've seen wrong elsewhere is "It's not 40K".

A video of the class I will be playing. I must say, this game's classes and skills/abilities are very interesting.

Looks like a great game. But, is it PvP only? :(

No. It has PVE, PVP, Scenario, and RVR(realm vs. realm) content.

Ah that's good to hear. I don't like PvP much, other players are too good at playing the game xD . I prefer beating up the not-as-smart NPC monsters :P .

I'm annoyed by the fact that the Chaos Choosen and marauders can't be female.

They did that because in Warhammer Fantasy they are male. Chosen are usually these big guys packed with armor and a big sword x3 While Murauders are these barbaric norse fighters.

It's just like how Witch Elves can only be female....they are called the Brides of Khaine for a reason >.> I don't mind really since i'll either be a Witch Elf or sorceres

I wanted to buy it today but everyone else was faster.
Snatched a PrePaid Card to entertain myself until the store gets more copies though >_>

Gotrek and Felix, first novel. Chaos Warrior Female [Chosen also, I believe].

I guess the reason is that a Chosen in full armor is indistinguishable in terms of gender. And when it comes to Slaaneshi Chosen, it's best not to attempt a guess.

Have to remember they are going by GW. Plus Slaanesh isn't in this...playable wise. Since they wanted it to be rated T lol. The main lore though is male Chosen and male Marauders..and that's what they are going by.
