Warhammer Guide Review

There are several different character classes in Warhammer Online. These characters are not controlled by human beings, rather they are controlled by the computer, giving them the popular abbreviation of “NPC” or “Non Player Characters.”

Each of the Warhammer Online character classes have their own subspecies, many of which are what make the game so large. Yet there are seven different classes that all of the NPCs in Warhammer Online fall under.

Character Types

Greenskins

The most well known of MMORPG characters, Greenskins include Goblins, ogres, etc. You will run into many Greenskins while playing Warhammer Online.

Dwarf

Much like World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online has many dwarves in the digital universe. These stocky characters are the most common NPC types, and are expected to play major roles throughout the storylines. They are skilled craftsman.

The Empire

The Empire are the “good humans.” While not necessarily “good” in the literal sense, they can be considered civilized and orderly, giving them the appearance being sane and organized. Much to the opposite of their counterparts.

Chaos

Chaos are the “bad humans” though in reality they do not need to be humans at all. They are mutated beings, corrupt and swayed by evil. In Warhammer Online, Chaos legions are not necessarily evil, yet they are predators of order and life, giving them a lust for violence and greed.

High Elf

High Elves are the “Good Elves” but unlike the human classes, high elves truly are good. They are designed to keep peace and to prevent world destruction. They can live for millennia and are some of the most adept fighters, especially at skills that require balance and grace.

Dark Elf

Dark Elves are the bad elves, and earn their reputation regularly. They are darkness manifest, and they are a breed that tries to bring destruction to the world. They were once considered high elves until the two split after the “Sundering.”

Others

There are a few character classes that do not fall under any specific subheading. For example, in the Poisonwing Canyon there is a Wyvern named Diemonus. However, most NPCs in Warhammer Online fall into the preceding six character classes.
