Age Of Reckoning Release Date

If you didn't find it out until now, then please let me tell you that Warhammer
Online: Age of Reckoning, officially abbreviated as WAR, is a MMORPG based on Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy setting, under development by Mythic Entertainment and with a mysterious release date...until now, and since I just found out the answer to the "when" and "where" questions, here you have them...

...as things are looking now, the official statements are saying that Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is scheduled to be simultaneously released in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand about 5 weeks from now, on the 18th of September, 2008.

For now, the system requirements are the following(hooray, they are not insane at all, although you need a bit more than a computer called "fast" 5 years ago):

Windows XP
2.5 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
1 Gigabyte RAM
A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
At least 15 GB of hard drive space

Windows Vista
2.5 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
2 Gigabyte RAM
A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
At least 15 GB of hard drive space

According to Mark Jacobs, Mythic's founder and general manager, "For the last three years, the entire team at Mythic has poured their hearts into making Warhammer Online the next great MMORPG. We are so excited to open up this world and share it with the fans that will live in it, quest in it, go to war in it and make it come alive."

Now, I have no idea how great will prove Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning to be in the long run, but a RRP of £39.99 for the game and a monthly fee of around £10 don't seem too cheap for me...
