Gamespot's reports on the scene at E3 have this awesome interview with Mark posted for us to enjoy, along with their review after sitting in on a demonstration of WAR.

 

E3 2008 is underway, and we took the opportunity to sit in on a demonstration of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, the upcoming massively multiplayer game from newly rechristened developer Mythic Entertainment (formerly known as EA Mythic, formerly known as...Mythic Entertainment). All six of the game's races are implemented and under heavy testing from the game's loyal fan community, including the high elf and dark elf races.

We had a chance to sit in on an in-depth demonstration of the high elf White Lion character class, whose primary role is to deal as much damage in possible in battle while more-heavily armored allies receive the brunt of any incoming attacks. Interestingly, the class uses a "pet"--an actual white lion that grows as your character gains levels, from a young lion to a larger one with a massive white mane, to a huge lion outfitted with war armor. Interestingly, White Lion characters will have various "training" abilities for their feline companions, which are essentially fighting stances that can be toggled on and off. These stances will let the White Lion character alternate between being a more aggressive fighter with additional defensive bonuses who attacks from the front while the pet attacks from the side, and using training stances that command the pets to take charge of offense and their enemies' attention while the pet's master attacks from the side.
