Hallowe’en screens..

Our Witching Night, in pictures:

It had to happen eventually

I got a quest to kill a pig. I feel strangely vindicated.

We want to learn!

There’s been a ton of talk about open RvR in Tier 4 of late. Why? Because all us pesky early-adopters are hitting Tier 4 and we write and gripe about the things we do. And I do take the ‘wait-and-see’ approach, especially as there are more and more tentative forays into Tier 4 RvR all [...]

They call me MISTER Poppet!

Wotcha everyone, Yes, it’s another part of my ongoing random musing about names.  Particularly on Role-Playing servers, seeing as that is my server type of choice, and at the moment, I’m musing about second names.  Surnames.  This one’s particularly rambly, so you might want to get a brew in and relax.  And enjoy the journey.  [...]

Attack of the RSS!

It’s quite a task when you go away to come back to thousands and thousands of things in your feed reader. And I’ve literally just started to go through them, because I want to read everything, some of it from blogs I’ve recently added, so I thought I’d make a post for me to link [...]

October Newsletter hits

Brief highlights again, as I just got home from work and want to play Heavy Metal event advertised, Nov 18th-Dec 2nd in Europe (so place your bets for launch of 1.1 here), scenario called Reikland Factory – open to all levels, all tiers and doesn’t contribute to campaign. 10% bonus to renown for playing it. [...]

Big November Event! Daily quests, new scenario, preview of new classes!

Arrgh, as usual, just after we wrote some other post Mythic make a big announcement! *shakes fist at timezones* So, we have an announcement about the November Live Event, dubbed “Heavy Metal”. When the Heavy Metal live event begins on November 17th, players who log into WAR will see a new tab in the Tome [...]

My love/ hate affair with NPCs

A game world with no NPCs (non-player characters) would be a dull and lifeless place indeed. It isn’t that the NPCs inject a whole lot of life into the surroundings per se, but it helps us suspend disbelief if there are people walking around towns and apparently living in the world. Aside from giving out [...]

Game update 1.04 – let’s take a look

Coming to a US server near you on 29th October, and soon after to Europe, no doubt. Here’s 1.04. The Witching Night live event has begun! For details, see the Warhammer Online Herald. We look forward to this! Hope the first live event goes really well and they’re encouraged to do a lot more, not [...]

Witching Night!

This is what you can expect to find in game this Halloween. Four new PQs, one for each tier. They will be located in the open RvR areas and will reset much more slowly than regular PQs. Ghosts roaming the battlefields – they’re not hostile to players but there might be special rewards from kil^D^D^Dsending [...]
