The Official Warhammer Online Collectors Edition was released on March 26th, I just purchased mine today for $92.20 with shipping and tax included at the EA Store, get yours while they last! The folks over at EA Mythic have this to say:
EA Mythic is proud to present the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Collector’s Edition, a limited-run, premium version of the game for true Warhammer fans. It is the perfect addition to any Warhammer collection and can be proudly displayed alongside your army of miniatures. This special oversized box contains unique collectibles and exciting in-game content to help you get the most out of your journeys through the battlefields of the Age of Reckoning. Only 60,000 units of the Collector’s Edition will be available in North America. (We’re making a couple extra, but those are for us!)
The collectors edition includes 7 pounds of swag! An exclusive games workshop miniature which depicts the greenskin warboss, Grumlok, and his shaman, Gazbag, in rich detail.
A full-color 128 page graphic novel, Warhammer Online: Prelude to War. Written by acclaimed Games Workshop writer, Graham McNeill, the oversized book is richly illustrated by Chad Hardin, Joe Abraham, Rahsan Ekedal, Tony Parker, and Kevin Hopgood. Each of the graphic novel’s six chapters tells a unique story that together detail the events leading up to the Age of Reckoning.
A 224-page hardcover collection of original art from the game. Each of the glossy, full-color pages showcases the talented work of the concept artists and offers a glimpse at a world in the making.
Bonus in-game content such as “The Librams of Insight”: Readers of the Librams of Insight are granted special insight into their own actions and earn experience at a higher rate for a limited time. (+10% XP modifier for 60 minutes, 3 uses, 90 minute reuse timer.)
Purchasers of the Collector’s Edition will begin their adventures in the Age of Reckoning with twelve (12) additional quests awaiting them in the Tome of Knowledge. Each quest offers an exciting reward, as well as an exclusive character title, that will aid the player in their battles on the frontlines.
The WAR Collector’s Edition includes twelve (12) bonus heads for additional character customization options. Each race gets a truly unique look (with male and female versions) that is sure to turn heads on the battlefields and be the envy of everyone in the army.
Along with all of this great stuff, the WAR Collectors Edition also includes Open Beta Access, Live Game Head Start, and additional in-game items. I certainly can’t wait for Open Beta and the official release of WAR!
