If you have visited Mythic Entertainment's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning website recently you might have noticed a tab called "Realm War." What does it mean? Descriptions such as providing "information on the tide of war with the state of objectives," give a little insight into what it's all about but we decided to go to the source. Mythic's Lead Web Developer Scott Stricklin shared with us not only their plan for Realm War, but what features it will provide.

Ten Ton Hammer: Will there be a way for characters to view what equipment other players have?

Scott Stricklin: It is going to show character information, stats, and equipment. Our original concept is just to make all of that available and once we get passed launch we'll consider what kind of options we want to give people for display. On top of that the leaderboards are obviously open to everybody. We want people who are distinguishing themselves to sort of have their name in lights. They've achieved something and for the moment, they are and this shows everyone who are the real movers and shakers.
