Before you begin your adventures in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, you will need to create your Master Account by visiting the Account Management page. Your Master Account is different than your Warhammer Online game account-it will serve as the account that all of your Mythic games accounts are under. Whenever you log into the Account Management page, you will log in using your Master Account username and password, not your game account. Also, before installing and launching the game client, we recommend you check your system specifications to ensure that they meet the recommend system requirements needed to run WAR.

There are two types of accounts: A paid retail account, and a free trial account (which can be associated with the Free Trial or the Recruit-a-Friend program). If you are a returning player, please see the Re-enlistment Campaign / Returning Players FAQ.

If you wish to download the trial client, please click on the Free Trial button at the bottom of the "Warhammer Online Trial Account Creation" section.

If you have a retail copy of Warhammer Online, and wish to enter a CD Key, please click on the Start button at the bottom of the "Warhammer Online or Dark Age of Camelot Retail Account Creation" section.

After you create your Master Account, you can choose to download the WAR free trial for the Mac or PC (the file name is WarhammerOnlineInstaller.exe). Follow the onscreen instructions to install the game. When installed, launch the game and enter your username and password to log in and begin your journey to the frontlines of WAR.
