Warhammer Online - Giant Slayer or False God?

Well as every MMO fan is aware Mythic announced it's new goliath in the name of Warhammer Online. This game has been labeled by many to be the first David to sling a stone and shatter the stranglehold on the MMO community currently held by Blizzard's World of Warcraft. With fast gameplay, stunning graphics and a balanced PvP sytem this heavyweight promises to deliver. So how does it rank up with the fans?

Many times you can look around the WoW community forums and find posts about players awaiting Warhammer to be their salvation. Some have even coined the catchphrase WoW - Waiting on Warhammer.

Warhammer has been a houshold name for many gamers across the world for years and decades in some cases. The name itself holds a lot of power. Taking the structure directly from tabletop to MMO Mythic promises to deliver a game that expands upon the standard system and brings it all to life in an action packed new game. With the online closed beta currently open how has it all held up? Well we cannot comment on that YET. But the beta is in full swing and only time will tell.

The question on this reporter's mind is will Mythic be able to step up to the plate as a game design superpower or will they fall flat on their proverbial faces once again? With such promising games in the past that flopped such as the newer Dark Age of Camelot titles. Will Mythic have the power to vault this Game's Workshop household name into a seat it rightfully deserves?
