Experience enhancements Phase 4

Here’s a new round of experience enhancements which is supposed to smooth the leveling in Warhammer:

As the battle for the Warhammer world rages on, we continue to listen to your feedback and look for ways to improve the game. Among our highest priorities is making RvR as rewarding an experience as possible, and with that in mind, we are pleased to announce Phase IV of our ongoing Experience Enhancements. Today, as you may have read in the 1.0.4 Patch Notes, we have made the following changes to experience rewards:

•    The successful capture of an enemy battlefield objective now rewards the capturing players with experience.
•    In response to player feedback, the amount of renown earned from healing players has been increased.

We hope you’ll find that these changes make Realm vs. Realm combat that much more enticing, and we look forward to making your Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning experience even better!
