We are preparing our test server to be available for the tests of version 1.4.5 and will bring it down later today. Depending on the internal test, PTS will be re-opened for you tomorrow around noon EST.

As usual, keep an eye on the Herald for updates.

In the meantime we have the PTS 1.4.5 patch notes for your reading pleasure:

The German fansite and forum Waaagh.de had the chance to ask James Casey, Producer of Warhammer Online, several detailed questions about various aspects of the game.

During the second Q&A with Werit you
talked about the new Grovod Caverns where you fight as a Skaven. Will we
see changes to the current “Play as a Monster” system, so that buffs
from pets and potions don’t get removed or return after exiting monster
stage?

In the return of Grovod
Caverns, the Play as Monster mechanic will operate similarly to existing
offerings. We’ve made strides to ensure that some buffs that cannot be
easily reapplied have exemptions, but the mechanics are the same as the
current Skaven implementation. In both cases, players can make the
choice to join the battle as Skaven (either by taking the form at a keep
or joining the scenario) knowing that it will having a draining effect
on them. We are looking at ways to expand this system in the future in a
number of ways.

See you on the battlefields!

As of today, the servers Gorfang and Karak-Azgal are being set to ‘retired’ status. Both servers will be offline for a 5 hour maintenance window from 11am EST (5pm CET) on.
After the maintenance, players will no longer be able to log in to those servers. Any remaining characters on this server can then be transferred via the Mythic Account Center.
