[Official] Warhammer Online


Recommended Posts

Been looking into this game, but I have some questions, wondering if you guys can help me out...

How much coin will it cost on the 18th ( tomorrow ) for USA?

Whatever the standard price is for new games in your area, that's what it'll be. But, like most MMOs WAR will require a monthly subscription of about $15 US a month (the first month is free).

The level cap is 40, correct?

Yes. Character rank (level) cap is 40. There are also Renown Ranks (RvR ranks) which are separate from regular character ranks that you can level by participating in RvR. RRs are capped at 80 (and the word from Elder testers is that to get to RR80 will tank a ridiculous amount of time).

AoC was lame and overhyped, and WoW gets old after a few years of the same thing (Even WotLK looks like more of the same recolored garbage) ... Hence, why i'm looking into it ._.

I can't say whether or not you'll enjoy the game (because it's your opinion), but I enjoy WAR thoroughly. I played WoW for years, and I was in AoC's beta (and played it for a few weeks after release). I can honestly say I haven't had so much fun in an MMO as I have had in WAR the past few weeks. I suggest you give it a try.

That is not good, was planning and have played a chosen, hmm.

Well, you may like it.

But when you are Chosen number 7 Million and 3 and you notice the lack of healers, which is your main source of staying alive, you may eventually get sick of it. It seems Order sides healers are a lot more attractive to play and melee classes for the Destruction, which skews everything just a tad.

Thank you, exactly the response I was looking for.

I have been a dedicated wow player since Alpha release. I tried Guild Wars, didn't like it. I tried Age of Conan, and while it looked great, I just didn't like the gameplay.

Now Warhammer comes out, and I find myself very intrigued by it. Something about it just makes me want to play it, but again I am a wow player, and find myself stuck between wanting to play warhammer, but not wanting to give everything up in wow to try it with the expansion so close. HELP!! Btw. My wife will not let me pay for both games, so I have to choose one.

Well, first off, you don't have to give up everything. Blizzard doesn't delete characters when you cancel your subscription. Believe me, I've canceled many times.

It boils down to this; do you want to try something genuinely new and fresh in the Universe that Blizzard originally wanted WoW to be, that many people are having immense amounts of fun with (and it's not even officially launched), or do you want to wait to play the same old fedex quests, with recolored mobs, and start that perpetual gear grind again? I say buy WAR, try it for a month or two, and if you don't like it, go back to WoW.

Why not just put your WoW account on Inactive and buy Warhammer.. you've got 2months until WotLK comes out, so thats plenty of time to see if you like WAR. If not, you can just reactivate your WoW account when you buy WotLK and continue like nothing happend :p

But i'll just add, that if you're still highly enjoying WoW.. it probably isnt worth switching over to Warhammer. As even if you like it, you'll end up being pulled back into WoW when WotLK is released (if only to see what its like :p)

I'm going to go the low-road and suggest...get a new wife?

Anyone know of a Warhammer information site like thottbott/wowhead for looking up upcoming spells out-of-game and such?

WAR Wiki - General wiki for WAR information.

Warhamemr Alliance - good site for Dev updates (and semi-official forums)

WARDB - Like Wowhead: tons of info on items, gear, and abilities. Plus it has Career and Renown calculators.

Thanks man (Y)

No problem. Happy to help.

I also forgot, if you want to do character/guild searches or see the status of your server's keeps and sieges (in real time) (not added yet, but is a planned function) you can go to WAR's official site here: Warhamemr Online - Realm War

EU Servers aren't listed there, that's the US site :/

Nice list, thanks, I will probably be using those once I get the game.

i'm really disappointed with the graphics....

rolled a Empire Witch Hunter (read: Alliance Rogue) lol

level 3 right now....

Did you try the ingame settings tabs? The graphics turned up will choke most systems, also if you have a Nividia card you can set more settings in the control panel.

everything is maxed out

but no amount of AA or AF is going to change my mind lol

i can set those same settings in the ATI control panel

i think i'm too used to the nice bright anime shinyness of WoW

anything non cartoony i expect to be like Crysis haha

the graphics are 5x better than wow

Honestly, I played for 10 hours straight yesterday and really don't see the graphics being anywhere near "5x better than WoW". Both graphics are very cartoony in nature, and WAR's graphics really aren't anything to get excited about. All my settings are maxed running at 1680x1050.

World of Warcraft looks like crap by any standard, the "Oh it's cartoony" is so lame, they just used ugly low-res textures and everything is just big blocks. Water is just a flat 2D texture that isn't solid and everything just looks like flaming ass.

So no, Warhammer doesn't look 5x better than WoW, it looks 15x better than WoW.

well, i like WoW graphics and i don't like WAR graphics

to each his own i guess

but graphics aside.....

i only got to play for a couple hours last night

those public quests are very cool (Y)

gonna try a couple different classes this weekend and hopefully some PvP

maybe a tanking class since that's the only class i never played in WoW....

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
