Realm vs. Realm
Upon entering WAR, players must determine their allegiance and join an army. Those inclined towards the side of good may fight for the Realm of Order as an obstinate Dwarf, noble High Elf, or loyal human soldier of the Empire. Those inclined towards darker deeds may side with the sinister Realm of Destruction as a savage Greenskin (Orc o r Goblin), corrupt Dark Elf, or marauding human worshiper of Chaos. RvR combat takes place on three fronts where ancient foes wage an unending war – Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, High Elf vs. Dark Elf, and Empire vs. Chaos. Players begin the game fighting their ancestral enemy, but are free to journey to other fronts to help their allies in their ongoing struggles.

The ultimate goal in RvR combat is the sacking of the enemy’s capital city. To do this, an army must invade and take control of the opposition’s homeland. Deciding battles take place in the persistent game world on objective-based battlefields and around fortified keeps that must be taken or defended, as well as in instanced Scenarios that contribute to zone control.

A New Way to Quest
For the first time, players can engage in Public Quests; these community driven Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests help to advance the game’s story and allow all allied players within a certain location to participate in an ongoing, multi-stage battle. This is an example of how every aspect of the game, including PvE content, is geared towards the greater war in some important way. Players are not required to participate in Player vs. Player (PvP) combat, and may aid in the RvR war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via PvE content.

Never fight alone thanks to a next generation Realm vs. Realm (RvR) game system. With an army of allied players at your back, you will defend your homeland, invade enemy realms, and ultimately join the siege of your opposing Realm’s capital city. Different types of RvR combat include:
- Open World RvR: Participate in melee skirmishes, objective-based battles and keep sieges.

A robust combat system allows players to customize their character’s combat abilities with Career Masteries, Tactics, and Morale Skills.

Awesome PVP!: After years of WoW, Warhammer PVP is a breath of fresh air. Addicting and fun! The collector edition has awesome art books, paintable ork, and other goodies that made it feel like it was worth more money, and not just a bigger box, like most games. More reviews

Great!: This is a Great Game, i Play alot of Online Games, and i have to say this is the best Out there! More reviews

Great game for a group of friends.: Considering the myriad reviews of the game itself, I'll make it a point to focus on the Collectors Edition box:
The size of the box alone is ludicrous, it is, for all intents and purposes a big, shiny, ****-off box, it is numbered, and it is nice to look at. The overall impression I got from the effort Mythic put into their CE box appearance… More reviews

Stonking Great!: In the words of Zero Punctuation, this game is (as I mentioned in the title) stonking great!
Takes the best elements from other MMO's and adds to it. The PvP (called RvR) isn't forced, and you can start as soon as you enter the game and not get blown up at the starting gate, so to speak.
Public quests are… More reviews

Want a fun time? Go play WoW: I was disappointed in the CE. The book was good, the small statue/figurine is nothing like what they shown on the box or here on amazon. about 1.5 inches high and all silver.. seriously all silver and no color. I was expecting something to put on my desk to look at, but in the end it will forever stay in the packaging, inside of the original… More reviews
