Is WAR’s population on the rise?  It sure feels like it.  Over the past week I have seen an influx of new players and players returning to the game.  The same applies to the blog community, as three new blogs have joined the scene. For a…

Customer Service has received requests for assistance with the Invader
Insignia Tome unlock issue that has impacted some of you. Though we
implemented a solution yesterday, we have implemented another this
afternoon. With this new change, players who possess the original
weapon but could not equip it, are now able to resolve the issue on
their own. To accomplish this, simply open a buy window with any
merchant that has a buy back tab, sell the weapon, select the buy back
tab on the merchant window, and then buy back the weapon.

(please read on for more important details…)

Today we have a new Video Grab bag for you. Join the Mythic Community Team as we ask devs Nate Levy and Mike Wyatt

The Warhammer Vault over at IGN is looking for some help.  They are in need of news hounds, columnists and artists. While they may not be paid positions, they do offer a great opportunity.  It gets you involved with the WAR community, includi…

Battlefield Bad Company 2 released on Tuesday and, as expected after playing the beta, it’s fantastic.  The performance has improved a great deal after a patch and an ini tweak or two.  The maps and guns which I didn’t get to try in beta are all very well done, especially the scenery and atmosphere of [...]

I’ve been playing WAR for more than 18 months and am still learning new things all the time.  My Engineer is a great example.  I never really used his turret (pet) much due to the low damage and inability to really control it.  A few day…

As many of you are now aware, when we introduced the new RvR Trophy system and lowered the prices of the RvR Weapons, an issue was introduced where players were able to advance their progression through the RvR Insignia ranks in an unintended manner.  To prevent further impact to the economy, we took immediate action late last night. The unfortunate side effect of this action is that the small number of players who purchased RvR weapons legitimately have lost or are not being granted the respective Tome of Knowledge unlock. Today, we are taking steps to correct this issue, and to alleviate the impact that this fix had on legitimate purchasers.

We will be bringing all North American Servers offline for a short server reboot this afternoon. Servers will be brought offline at 3:00 PM EST and are expected to be back online no later than 4:15 PM EST. During this time we will be implementing the following fix:

• Players who had previously purchased RvR weapons will need to un-equip and then reequip the weapon to receive the correct Tome of Knowledge unlock.
• Players who have either purchased weapons that are unusable by their career (e.g.; a Sorceress/Bright Wizard purchasing a 1 Handed Weapon) for the purposes of advancing to the next tier of Insignias, OR players who may have destroyed or salvaged the weapon will need to file an In Game Appeal using the In Game Support Tool. Please file this appeal under “Character Issues” and the Customer Service team will investigate and address accordingly. Please appeal from the character which has the issue, and name your character in your appeal by Name-Server. Please be aware that this process may take up to 72 hours.

We are aware that some players are being adversely affected by this issue and for that we apologize. We are committed to keeping the community updated regarding this issue, and thank you for your continued support.

Some big changes have just hit the cash shop in Allods Online.  Prices have dropped significantly yet still remain slightly higher than the Russians pay.  The expected result that players would welcome any cash shop change was immediately apparent within the first minute of the change.  People are shouting their excitement and are now expressing [...]

Weekend Warfront’s are like other live events, you get a task list and three levels of rewards.  The elite level reward was nice, as it gave you extra scenario Emblems for winning.  The lower tiered rewards were not as desirable.  How ca…

Guild members and friends of Kill Frenzy visiting our ventrilo may have heard me whinging about my cats. You see my wife, bless her bonkers cotton socks, is training to be a mad cat lady. She’s got the mad bit covered and is now working on the cat pa…

News in the Herald..The prices for the SC-weapons got changed.
What I like about those changes.. Not all prices were reduced. The prices were changed so that it fits better to the player progression in lower tiers. This is a change I really like. The higher RR weapons stay nearly unchanged. All in all a smoother [...]

We have the following Hot Fixes for you this evening:

Realm vs. Realm

• Fixed an issue where new RvR Trophy items were selling for an improper amount.
• Due to the above issue higher Tier RvR currency was entering the world at an unintended rate. As a result we have removed all illegitimately gained RvR currency. As a result of the fix implemented to address illegitimately earned currency, all players have had the corresponding Tome unlocks removed. If you are amongst the players who legitimately earned a Tome unlock allowing you to earn higher Tiers of RvR currency prior to this issue, we will be implementing a solution allowing you to repurchase the unlock using the weapon you previously purchased. This solution is not yet implemented, so please do not destroy any weapons previously purchased. If you had already destroyed the weapon, please submit an appeal using the in game support tool and it will be investigated by Customer Service.

Due to issues with higher tiers of RvR Weapon currency entering the world in an unintended manner we have temporarily disabled the RvR Weapon Quartermasters in the Capital Cities.

Please keep your eyes on the Herald for updates regarding this issue.

Thank you for your continued support.

Obviously where Warhammer is concerned, quite a few. So welcome Carrie to the depressingly long list of underperformers. Maybe a little bit harsh, but so many changes at the helm, doesn’t really bode well for the game, now does it.
As you can probably deduce, I am briefly back, as I take a minor break from battling [...]

One of the most anticipated features of Patch 1.3.4 was the introduction of new RvR weapons. Over the course of testing, concerns were voiced by members of the community regarding the costs of the weapons.  As a development team, we made assurances that the costs would be watched and adjusted if necessary.  We’re now pleased to announce that after a great deal of analysis, discussion, and feedback, we’ve just reduced the costs of many of the RvR weapons, with a focus on the lower Renown Ranks.
