Marching to a Different Drummer in Warhammer Online

“Warhammer Online is unique in a lot of ways,” executive producer Jeff Hickman tells us. This massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) pits Destruction against Order in a large-scale conflict that requires all the resources each side can muster, including victories in small-scale skirmishes, completion of quests, and success in player-versus-player combat. The ultimate goal? A massive assault on the enemy’s capital city, which Hickman says is “pretty awesome to experience.” [Oct 28]
