Genre: MMORPG | Developer: Mythic Entertainment | Release Date: September 19, 2008 | Shut Down Date: December 18, 2018 | Private Server Website: Return of Reckoning
What kind of game was it? Warhammer Online aimed to focus on PvP battles set in the world of the board game Warhammer Fantasy. Two factions waged war against each other. You had to choose a side and engage in PvP battles.
PvE played only a secondary role to craft better equipment for the battles.
When was it shut down? The end came on December 18, 2013. Apparently, the Warhammer license expired and could not be renewed. However, the MMORPG had been struggling with steadily declining player numbers for some time before its end.
How can you continue to play? Since June 14, 2014, it has been possible to play through the private server “Return of Reckoning“. The server runs very well because it caters to fans of the MMORPG who really want to play seriously.
