Desert of Zin

That would be Warhammer Online then.

First things, first.  It’s nowhere as good as Guild Wars.  Gameplay, graphics, subscription -  Guild Wars wins hands down.

But it works (after a period of uncertainty – transferring the server info from one company to another.  Not a flawless transfer apparently) and it’s good for a casual game.  If you can, get the collectors edition in HMV for 15 quid and a 60-day subscription game card for £13.  Still cheaper than most but not really worth it in the long run I think.  I’ll be making the most of my time on it while I can.

I’ll say that it does a good job of capturing the setting.  Warhammer-related computer games have been getting better at that in recent years.  And soon there comes Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium which is a big ol’ MMORPG set in GW’s futuristic setting.  Initial reports are that it looks good.

For Sigmar! For the Emperor!
