Warhammer Online Hands-on with the Dark Elves (PC) DateTime:5/23/2012 10:37:34 AM
On the surface, the Warhammer fantasy world is pretty tough to distinguish from legions of other Tolkien-inspired fantasy universes out there. It's got your orcs, your dark and light elves knights in shining platemail and loads of magical spells flying around. What makes the universe -- and by extension the Mythic MMO take on it -- so special is the world's personality, a sort of "black comedy" take on the fantasy genre. Dark Elves in the Warhammer universe aren't just evil -- they're depraved, insane, arrogant, self-righteous and possessed of a singularly bizarre sense of humor. In traditional Warhammer lore, Dark Elf males with magical talent are usually killed by the Sorceress' Convent. According to Mythic, the extraordinary circumstances of the Age of Reckoning are such that the Witch King has issued a general amnesty for Sorcerers to come forth and serve their King. Sure, they're probably dead as soon as Malekith's plan comes to fruition but in the mean time a whole host of talented males seeking a new path to power have invaded the women's world and the society of Dark Elves may never be the same.

In our case, our Dark Elf Sorceress found herself fresh off the Black Ark on the shores of Ulthuann, part of the invasion vanguard designed to put Malekith back on the throne. They give off an aura of fear and paranoia (not an unreasonable emotion in Dark Elf society) and a psychotic determination to hurt the world before it hurts them. Unlike the game's other racial pairings (Empire/Chaos, Dwarfs/Greenskins) whose players begin the game geographically separated from one another, Dark Elf and High Elf players start practically on top of one another. While they won't be thrust into RvR or PvP combat any faster than the other four races, the mutual storylines the two races' players follow will often place them within viewing/striking distance of one another. The idea of the design seems to be that while RvR and PvP combat will still be completely voluntarily, the close physical proximity of High Elf and Dark Elf players will attract those players most interested in the PvP combat aspect of the game. They'll never have far to go to find an opposing player to kill. Buy cheap wow gold here ,we have cheap wow gold for sale !
