The official website of Warhammer Online has released sever list and rulesets for WAR's  launch.

Servers, servers, get'ya servers! Below you will find the server names we anticipate being available at Launch. These will begin going live Sunday, September 14th with the Collector's Edition Head Start (starting with enough servers to meet growing demands) and will continue to roll out leading up to Launch on September 18th we have many more servers available if we need them!

Players will be able to choose from four server types: Core, Open RvR,  Roleplay, and a hybrid  Roleplay/Open RvR ruleset. We will continue to open up servers supporting different server types as the need arises.

Please Note: We will provide the list of servers that will be available on Sunday morning for the CE Head Start on Saturday, September 13th

Core Ruleset

Core servers are just what you'd expect. These are servers that have everything Warhammer has to offer, with no special changes to the normal ruleset. RvR is confined to lakes and Scenarios, and there are two opposing realms engaged in the WAR. Players may only engage in Player vs. Player combat when flagged to do so in specific areas around the world. Select a Core ruleset server for the original exciting gameplay experience that WAR was designed to offer.

Open RvR Ruleset

The Open RvR servers feature RvR flagging everywhere except for the Tier 1 Chapter area and the surrounding PvE content.  Once players leave this area, they will be flagged for RvR anywhere in the game. Open RvR servers are perfect for those who want to add an extra challenge to their gaming experience. Players must constantly watch their backs or risk attack by enemies everywhere they go! Only members of opposing realms may attack each other; the Open RvR server still focuses on Order versus Destruction.

Rules: 

Players are always RvR flagged from the moment they log in
Chapter 1 hubs and capital cities are safe
There is no bolster buff in RvR lakes  
Players will be chickened when entering an area that is two tiers below their level (ex. A Tier 3 player entering a Tier 1 area.)
