Last month we brought you word that EA had Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning listed for a September 23 release date. We’ve just gotten the official announcement from Mythic Entertainment, and it looks like the actual date will be five days earlier than expected: on September 18.
Along with the release date Mythic also let us know how much Warhammer’s subscription costs would run, which are pretty standard as far as MMO pricing goes.
- Monthly Subscription: $14.99 USD
- 3-Month Subscription: $41.97 ($13.99 per month)
- 6-Month Subscription: $77.94 ($12.99 per month)
Also, if you go ahead and preorder the game (from these choose retailers) you’ll get a few extra bonuses. Firstly, you’ll gain admittance to the open beta, which confuses me as a selling point, seeing as how if it’s an open beta then everyone should be able to get in regardless. Along with the “open” beta admittance, preorderers will be able to begin the playing the game a few days before the official launch, and will have two bonus item to equip their head-start characters with. It also comes with a Warhammer collectible card deck for you to, uh, collect.
Do these extras provide enough motivation for you to get up (or turn on your computer) and go preorder Warhammer On the internet?

After the beta announcement, we knew the hour of bewilderment was almost upon us. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime announced in a conference call (via Shacknews) that the latest World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King is coming this year between October or December. Morhaime actually said it was coming out this year, but “it’s not coming out in the July to September quarter,” which after hours of calculations left us certain of the Q4 2008 window.

With Steam doing so well these days, it was only a matter of time before Microsoft realized that the majority of Personal computer gamers will never, ever pay to play games on the web.
Now that Games For Windows LIVE is free and its console counterpart Xbox LIVE isn’t, it’s only natural that people get up in arms. GFW LIVE Head Kevin Unangst spoke to Gamasutra to try and explain the whole situation.
He states that the PC focuses on game content, whereas the Xbox LIVE Marketplace is all about multimedia, not just game expansions or DLC add-ons. Plus, it’s not like there are any alternatives to online gaming on the 360 like there are on Personal computer.
Yes, we’d all love to have free Xbox LIVE, but that’s not going to happen so long as the service remains as popular as it is this day. Oh well, I guess paying $50 a year isn’t that bad for what’s offered.
