Warhammer Online News

Greetings!

Over the past year we have worked to grow a collaborative forum community where all players can come and get important information or just talk about the game they play. In less than 18 months you have totaled over 120 million page views with nearly 1 million posts across 80 thousand discussions leaving no doubt about your dedication and passion for WAR.

As we continue to integrate with the BioWare family we are pleased to announce our plans to bring two great communities together. Next week the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning forums will join the BioWare Social Network where you will have the benefits of being a part of a larger community, one with a passion for gaming as big as our own.

We’ll be sure to provide clear instructions and information next week before the transition. For now you don’t have to do anything and can continue to use these forums normally while we iron out all the details.

Stay tuned!

We have put together a brief FAQ below - have a great weekend!

It’s that time again!

Time for everyone to put on your testing hats as Game Update 1.3.6 rolls out to the Warpstone Public Test server! We’re pleased to announce that Warpstone is now open to the public, bringing with it the 1.3.6 Public Test phase. Be sure to check out all that 1.3.6 has to offer, including the following highlights:

• No longer do players have to sacrifice their sense of fashion in the name of better stats! To allow players options to customize their appearance players now have the option of selecting the appearance of any piece of equipment while at the same time choosing their best option for statistics.
• The Sovereign Armor sets have been redesigned! We have introduced Split armor sets, giving each Career multiple options of armor selection based on their play style
• The Against All Odds scaling bonus for those times when your realm is outnumbered on the field of battle!
• And much, much more!

The full 1.3.6 Patch Notes can be found here.

Of course a PTS phase wouldn’t be complete without our signature developer lead focused tests and Q&A sessions! Join the WAR Development team, Friday, July  30th at 4:00 PM EDT/22:00 CET, for a Q&A session to be followed up by our normal PTS Stability test (with a special twist!) at 8:00 PM EDT/02:00 CET.

We’ll be doing it one more time on Friday, August 6th at 8:00 PM EDT/02:00 CET as we take to the RvR Lakes to test out the all new “Against All Odds” system with a Developer Q&A following the test.

We’ll see you on Warpstone!

Bonjour!

BioWare Mythic invites our community to join us in celebrating La Fête Nationale, this Wednesday, July 14th. We commemorate the momentous occasion of the storming of the Bastille with fireworks and the storming of keeps throughout WAR! So please join us in celebrating France’s day of national pride.
 
Joyeux 14 Juillet à tous!

Greetings!

EU Players are now able to log into the Official WAR Forums (http://www.warhammeronline.com/forums/)! To log into the forums, simply click on the Login button in the top left corner. Once there, you will be directed to select one of your character names to display as your identity. After selecting a character you will be asked to create a screen name and provide a valid email address. That’s all there is too it!

All European servers will find their server specific forums are available to them on the official forums. We do ask that outside of your server specific forums that you please only post in English. This will assist us in providing the best possible experience for all players and in gathering feedback.

PLEASE NOTE: Realm WAR Character data may take up to 48 hours to fully migrate to the BioWare Mythic site.

We are also pleased to announce that all EU Trial Users have been given a two week unlimited pass to experience all of WAR! Starting yesterday all accounts will be converted to full access and will be reverted back to trial on 23 July 2010, unless they have subscribed.

We’re excited to welcome our European community and hope that you’re all enjoying the two weeks of free play and a 100% bonus to all Renown and Experience gained.
Thank you for your continued support and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

Greetings!
We’re very happy to announce that the transfer of character and guild
data from GOA to BioWare Mythic has successfully completed and all
European players are now being automatically redirected to their new
home servers. These servers are an exact 1:1 copy of your previous
servers taken on 29 June 2010, so no action is needed from players aside
from to log in, patch and play!

Greetings!

We invite everyone to join BioWare Mythic in celebrating the U.S.A.’s Independence Day this weekend with a 100% Bonus to all Experience and Renown gained! This Bonus is now live on all servers and will continue until Tuesday, 7/6/2010.

Thanks for your continued support and we’ll see you on the Battlefield!

Hello all and welcome to the June Producer’s Letter!

Through these communications I’ve emphasized how we listen to the
community and take your feedback seriously while planning the future of
WAR. For the most part, the “P-Letter” (as I like to call it) is
intended to be a short term look at the next version or two,  giving you
a look forward at the months to come. However, it’s very clear that
there is a lot of desire to hear about long term planning. We hear these
requests loud and clear, and it is our desire to give you a better
sense of WAR’s long term plan by the end of summer. Our detractors like
to make fun of us for “being really excited” and “itching to tell you
about” some “really cool things” (yes, we read the snarky posts), and in
this case we want to shout it from the rooftops…but not just yet.
