Players of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning have a couple of new features to look forward to. The Heavy Metal quest—a live, in-game event—will run from November 18 until December 1. The armies of WAR will be given orders regarding two new tank classes (Empire Knight of the Blazing Sun and Dark Elf Black Guard). Players who complete the quests associated with the Heavy Metal event will gain access to new careers a full week before they are available to the general public.

To actually see which one is better we will just have to wait till WAR, (warhammer online age of reckoning), comes out in September 2008. We can however take a look at the similarities and difference Mythic Entertainment's project (WAR), has in common with blizzards master piece, WOW. The two games are based upon war torn fantasy realms, and both games allow you to choose between which sides you wish to be part of; the alliance and horde for world of Warcraft and the armies of order and destruction for Warhammer online age of reckoning.

In these factions you pick you can chose which character race you'd like to be in the factions. In WAR there are will only be 6 races three to each faction; the dwarfs, the empire, and the high elves on one side, and the green skins, dark elves, and chaos on the other side. For World of Warcraft there are as of now ten races splitting five to each side. On the alliance side there is the; the night elves, dawrfs, gnomes, humans, and the draenie. On the hordes side there are; orcs, trolls, tauren, undead, and the blood elves. As part of Heavy Metal, players will also gain access to Reiklan Factory. This new, instanced Scenario takes places on the grounds of an Empire tank factory, and will only be available for battle during the live event.
