Warhammer Online News

This weekend’s warfront is open for battle! The Dragon’s
Bane scenario is open for all tiers. Capture the locations and deliver
the Black Dragon or Sun Dragon Beacons to the capture locations to call
down aid from above!

‘Bane of Peace’ is now live. In honor of the German National Holiday it will continue until Tuesday morning, 10/04/2011.

The God of Hunt retreats and the horn of Kurnous falls silent again.

The Wild Hunt ended but you can still claim your rewards for one week.

Update 3:40pm EDT: The fix is now live.

We are about to apply the following hot fix to all servers. Please be aware that the location of the foreman is about to change in T3 and T4 - this might effect ongoing sieges. We’ll update the Herald when the update is live.

Realm vs. Realm

In response to player concerns over the way Keep Foreman generate New Outer Doors, the following changes have been made:

1. Foreman in T3 and T4 have been moved to the outer wall, into the room directly above the outer door *
2. The time it takes for Foreman to process a New Door order has been increased to 90 seconds
3. Messaging has been added that will go out to everyone in the area alerting them to:
• when a new door has been ordered

  

• an update at every 30 sec mark of the process

  

• a notification when the Foreman’s ordering has been halted

  

• a notification when the Foreman restarts the ordering process from the beginning

  

• if the Foreman was killed while processing an order

 

• if the Foreman successfully completes processing the order
4. The Foreman will now enter his cower state when the keep door is attacked by a ram **

* Having the Foreman in this location will force defenders to be more mobile throughout the keep area, rather than turtle in the inner keep. It will also make the Foreman far more exposed, and accessible to attackers, so actively defending him will become more important.

** While an order for a new door cannot be made while there is a ram active, an order already in progress does not get canceled if a ram is placed at the inner door after the fact. This line item is intended to make it far more difficult to complete the process without stopping it completely.

The sounds of celebration and battle can be heard throughout the Old World. Fireworks, cheers and the roar of battle rings in the ears of combatants from both Realms…but there are murmurs across the land of ancient powers being called forth and resources being gathered for the frontlines closest to the capital cities..

The Elven God of the Hunt has stalked the mortal lands since time
immemorial. Year in and year out, the High Elves gather to honor Kurnous
with a sacred hunt, where the best of the best try to prove themselves
Master Hunters in the eyes of the greatest hunter of them all.

But with the war raging on, the practice has faltered … and the
God of the Hunt is angry. No longer do skillful mortals hunt to feed
their families; instead, hardened soldiers scour the woods and meadows
of all available game. No longer do hunters observe the sacred rites;
they kill only to test their skills, and leave their prey to rot on the
battlefields…

The God of the Hunt can brook no more! The hunter’s moon has
risen! The horn of Kurnous has sounded! Let those who honor the ancient
traditions pay heed—and let all who slaughter with abandon tremble!

This weekend’s warfront is open for battle! The Black Fire Basin scenario is open for all tiers. Capture the flag in the middle of the frozen lake but be aware of the things it can do to you.

‘Blood Basin’ is now live and will continue until Monday, 09/12/2011.
