One of the more popular aspects of the soon to be released MMORPG is the Warhammer Online PvP battles. Mythic Entertainment (the creators of the game) have spent a great deal of time and effort perfecting the Warhammer Online PvP system, and one of the things they have focused on is the idea of strategy.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Because the game is loosely based on the all-strategy table top game, Mythic Entertainment badly wanted to make sure that the game they released would not be something that one could simply click a bunch of buttons and win by luck - they wanted the game to be a game of thought and strategy, where players had to plan who to attack, how to attack, and understand the strengths and weaknesses of their characters.

For example, Tank battle types (stronger battle characters that run into battle) are strong in hand to hand combat but weak in ranged combat. The idea behind the Warhammer Online PvP is that tank characters either try to avoid ranged characters or they try to make up for their weakness with something that closes the gap, like a healer (who can heal the tank character while he catches up with the ranged character).

That type of strategy system is paramount in the Warhammer Online PvP.

Making it a Focus

An interview with Richard Duffek, the coordinator of Warhammer Online and the Warhammer Online PvP, said that the game itself is designed around the PvP play - unlike other games which he states the PvP was "added as an afterthought."

He believes that by focusing on the Warhammer Online PvP as well as the PvE, the game can tap into the market of individuals that prefer PvP combat, yet still have enough available that PvE is equally as entertaining, and can compete with some of the other big name MMORPG guides.

Stephen Fredricks is a top MMO player and a popular writer of many gaming guides. His newest guide will be released at TheWarhammerGuide.com and includes a great deal of information about Warhammer Online PvP.
