For a while now, my World of Warcraft friends have been nagging me on one thing: Get ready for Warhammer, a new MMORG which is expected to be the new leader in the market of MMORGs. I had the chance to play with the beta version over the past weekend, at a friend's place. I have to say, this game is even more addictive than WOW, due to a couple of aspects. First of all, the graphics, are less of a cartoon style, but more realistic thanks to the advanced 3D engine of course. (Mind you WOW has been out for over 4 years now, it's about time for some graphical upgrades...) The other factors I find really attractive is that the game play focuses more on PVP (Player Vs. Player) while WOW was first made as a PVE (Player Vs. Environment) experience. For a player (moi) whom enjoyed all the FPS games and participated in many arena clans, Warhammer is certainly attractive enough.

The open beta test for the players whom pre-ordered the game started September 7th and ended mid night last night. According to to official game web site, there are 897,894 players participated in the beta test through last 7 days. The official launch of the game started today, to the people registered for the "collector's Edition" only. Then on Tuesday, the game is open for the Pre-ordered players, for real this time. Then on Thursday, you may find the shrink wrapped copies in the local electronic stores.

My biggest question now is of course how much sleeping time can I afford to lose in the coming months?
