Sometimes side effects are not sooo bad. This time it’s the introduction of the sc-weapons.
Of course it sucks many players out of the RvR and into the sc to farm those tokens, but this is a chance..at least on Drakenwald. With fewer people in RvR the campaign gets slowed down to a speed that feels [...]

In this video series, I plan to show some of the interesting add-ons which are available for WAR.  I’m not a big add-on user, but I think that a lot of them can be helpful and make the game even more enjoyable.  Continue on for the first Tool…

I could probably write a 10 page essay on why DK’s suck at PVP, but fortunately Euripedes has done just that.
It would be nice if Blizzard actually read that. I don’t arena myself, but a little bit of tooling about in Battlegrounds over the past couple weeks as an experiment in DK PVP viability has [...]

Today there was a press release from 38 Studios announcing that they have made a publishing “agreement” with EA for their upcoming “epic single-player role-playing game”.  I feel like I’ve just witnessed someone announcing that they have signed a deal with the devil.  EA was once referred to as the the kiss of death to [...]

Not so long ago I managed to get myself into a bit of an uneven scrap. To be precise it was 12 Order versus me on my lonesome. I know there were 12 because I counted their corpses…

To put the situation into context… We had a 2 and a half group war…

Greetings!

With all of the excitement surrounding Game Update 1.3.4 the WAR Blogging Community has been a-Twitter (ba-dum-pah) talking about all of the changes. The Mythic Community team wanted to take a moment to recognize some of our veteran bloggers and to welcome some new faces to the crowd!

I’ve talked about Gratuitous Space Battles a few times in the past.  It’s a fun and original space combat strategy/simulator game from Positech Games.  Recently, they offered me a review copy of GSB’s latest expansion pack, The Order.  A…

Thank you for your continued support.

Whenever I go without a  MMO for long periods of time the first thing that always comes to mind is how I need a game that I can invest myself into.  That’s what sets MMO’s apart from other games for me.  A MMO character is something that the players should feel committed to in a [...]

One problem WAR has been fighting with since launch is one realm dominating the other.  Often this was due to population imbalances, organizational issues or just a loss of morale.  In 1.3.3 we were introduced to the Underdog system which was…

When I heard last week that we’d hit the 4th siege of the day on Karak Norn, I planned on writing a blog post that would sneak in lyrics from Crowded House’s song “four seasons in one day”, however it was not to be. The server community ruined …

Though Mining in Allods Online is pretty self-explanatory, getting started may be somewhat frustrating.
One of the first things you should do is take the quest offered by the trainer.  If he doesn’t show an exclamation mark above his head just talk to him, a quest should show up as a chat option.  The quest will [...]

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing came out of left field for me.  Graev mentioned the game and said that we should try out the demo.  Judging the game by the name, I was pretty sure that I’d be playing some flimsy attempt at making a racing game with familiar characters.  Afterall, it’s Sega and I [...]

Customer support is currently receiving a high amount of appeals regarding the implemented solution to the recent issues with the RvR weapon system.

If you were amongst those affected by the issue with the revoking of the Tome unlocks, please refer to the email you have received regarding this issue. For those players who are appealing regarding the “Faded Memory” trash loot items which were acquired due to illegitimate currency gains, we will not be exchanging these for any form of RvR currency, so we ask that you please discontinue your appeals regarding these items.

If you have recently purchased an RvR weapon or trophy after the recent fixes and are still experiencing issues with the unlock allowing you to progress to the next level of RvR Currency, please file an in game appeal and Customer Support will address it as soon as possible. Please be aware that it may take up to 72 hours to respond to your appeal.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience!

WAAAAGH!!!

We’ve got a whole new reason for your to say TGIF with our second Weekend Warfront: Spirit of WAR! This weekend you and your allies can do battle in the High Pass Cemetery scenario as you crush and humiliate your foes no matter what tier you’re in – and while you probably don’t need any more motivation than that, we’ve made the rewards for participating in High Pass Cemetery that much more…rewarding.

So join us this weekend and every weekend as all 4 tiers get to participate in a different Weekend Warfront each week!

Weekend Warfront: High Pass Cemetary
Start: Friday, March 5th 2010
End: Monday, March 8th 2010

Have fun, and we’ll see you on the battlefield!
