Play™ has an article up on Warhammer Online, and why so many people are breathlessly awaiting the launch of this exciting title!

However, it's not all just nerdlings and the socially maladapted being whipped into a clumsy, greasy fury. Normal, healthy, robust and handsome people are looking forward to this release just as much. And by that, I mean me. The current undisputed king of the MMO genre might finally have itself some genuine completion.

Warhammer: Age of Reckoning certainly isn't radical in any particular way. Elves, dwarves, orks, humans, chaos, order, loot, instances, PvP, etc. - the standard menagerie with the usual associated characteristics. None of the essential themes will take anyone even passingly familiar with swords and sorcery style fantasy by surprise, nor anyone familiar with an MMO. However, Warhammer looks to take every single element, character archetype, MMO convention and expectation and go at least one better, and prove once again its better to make something well than to make something new.

While those of us who are considered fan boys wait for our place in beta, the rest of you can make plans for launch day WAR!  WAAAGH!
