PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - XP and renown bonuses for WAR transfer servers With the recent server transfers made available to Warhammer Online players, Mythic enabled players to move onto several servers free of charge. Now they're offering limited time server bonuses for players making their trek onto the offered servers. The bonus itself is a 20% rested boost to experience and renown gain. It's a nice little cherry on top for players packing their bags and it should also help encourage some people on the fence to take Mythic up on the offer.

Anyone interested in making a move (or seeing if they're even able to do so) can check out this handy list at their leisure. Massively is sure to see more of this kind of encouragement from Mythic in the future, at least where and when it's necessary.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Free character transfers announced for Warhammer Online Free character transfers were just announced for Warhammer Online, for characters on low population servers who'd like to move to high population servers. The service will be put into place in the coming days. The character transfers will be done in the Mythic Account Center, which will have a Character Transfer button, just below "Activate a Key" and "Validate your Email Address." In addition to Free Character Transfers, Mythic also announced Guild Transfers. This comes with its own set of caveats as the transfer cannot be reversed, with details to be listed on the Character Transfer page.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online patch 1.0.4 hits the live servers From Massively:

As this post goes live the servers are still down, updating merrily for the latest meaty patch to Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Mythic Entertainment has been johnny-on-the-spot with Warhammer updates since the game went live lo these few weeks ago, and it's great to see them continually tweaking the concept of the core RvR game. The patch (which is listed and formatted in full below the cut) addresses a number of issues, but here are some bullet-pointy highlights:

Witching Night is Live! Get your Halloween on in Warhammer!
Free character transfers from low pop servers are inching ever closer.

Teleport scrolls to dungeons are coming for guilds that crack around the level 30 mark.
Tier 4 zones should now be more easily a capturable.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Chaos Chosen-The RvR Tank Warhammer has taken the tanking experience to a whole new level. Tanks are built around RvR instead of PvE. Not only are they meat shields with a lot of hp, they are a full package of utility and protection. No longer are you to just keep "aggro" and soak up damage. Those days are over.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Mythic: Blizzard is in for a "lengthy battle" GI.Biz writes: "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has only just begun to compete with World of Warcraft, says Mark Jacobs, Mythic's CEO, who commented "It's a marathon, not a sprint."

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Jacobs took issue with comments made by Paul Sams, Blizzard's COO, that over half of the subscribers who left World of Warcraft for Warhammer Online had returned, which Mythic's CEO interpreted to as an accusation Warhammer users were leaving the MMO.

"One thing about MMOs is that people play multiple games," asserted Jacobs. 'That's one of the reasons I was very surprised by Paul's comments. He knows that people may play WoW and they'll play WAR and maybe even a third game at the same time.'"

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Two New Classes Headed to WAR Wired: "The Knights of the Blazing Sun are devoted to the cult of Myrmidia, goddess of warfare and protector of civilization. These frontline combatants specialize in Battlefield Commands, using applied tactical knowledge to outmaneuver their enemies and lead their allies to victory.

Dark Elf Black Guard, on the other hand, care little for tactics or guile. The embodiment of hatred and disdain, they make up the elite of the Witch King's soldiers. Equipped with the finest armor and sharpest blades, the Black Guard is an indestructible wall of hate against which all foes are crushed."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online on a MacBook 2008 running XP Obsessable: "One of the questions that has been on everyone's minds since Apple announced their new laptops on Tuesday has been whether the improved NVIDIA graphics cards that Steve Jobs spent so much time discussing on stage would mean that Apple's newer laptops would make good gaming machines. While it's unlikely that Apple is going to make any large moves towards becoming a new gaming platform to rival the current PC market, these new graphics cards combined with OS X's Boot Camp, which allows you to install Windows XP or Vista on a separate partition on your Mac's hard drive, allow Mac owners to install all the PC games they want on that partition. The big question is: can the MacBook really handle the graphics required by graphic-intensive games built for PC gaming machines?"

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - WAR's phase two experience enhancements Man, these guys just keep on rollin' with these updates. After the first phase of Mythic's "experience enhancements" players in their 3 and 4 found themselves with an overall improved experience gain in those zones. Now Mythic has taken the next step in phase two by allowing players to receive not only renown, but experience from capturing a keep -- assuming they're the proper,(non-bolstered) level. The Warhammer Online Herald lays out the tier requirements as such, "In Tier 2, players will begin to earn this bonus when they reach rank 15. In Tier 3, the minimum rank required is 25, and in Tier 4 it is 35. Players will notice a diminishing return from keep captures if their level approaches the top of that tier." All in all, it seems like Mythic has put some serious thought into this decision.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Scenarios-Leveling without PvE Warhammer is all about RvR. The game is primarily designed around the "WAR" concept. A player must utilize both RvR and PvE effectively in order to expedite the leveling process. Since the game thrives on RvR, players who primarily PvE, will miss out on a lot of what WAR has to offer. This is where Scenarios start to play a huge roll. No longer....

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - The Warhammer Performance Guide For the most part, Warhammer is a well polished game and Mythic deserves a lot of credit for creating it. There are a few graphical anomaly's and the occasional drop in FPS. However, there are some reporting a "memory leak" in the game while others are complaining of "lag" when loading new zones. Then there is a minority of players complaining about Bluescreens (BSOD), disconnects, horrible FPS throughout the game and unplayable conditions when playing in RvR areas and Scenarios. Dailywarhammer has decided to create a "Performance Guide" designed to help improve your system's ability to run Warhammer.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Mythic addresses Waaagh, naked dwarf issue In the wake of Warhammer Online's launch, Mythic have kept up a stream of information. Today Massively has Destin Bales, the Live Producer, giving them a rundown of that quintessential WAR ejaculation, Waaagh! 'It's an enthusiastic battle cry, challenging both their enemies on the battlefield and themselves in the office. It's a howl of frustration when at the last moment some piece of code unexpectedly breaks. It's the sound of a rampaging horde of developers rushing to get to the pizza on a night we have to burn the midnight oil to make sure an update to the game is fully tested and ready to go. It's a sort of unofficial slogan they proudly wear on green t-shirts. Oh, and yeah, apparently some Orcs said it once.'

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Check out your guild's ranking in Warhammer Online A website called Warheap has recently set up a guild leaderboard system for every server in Warhammer Online. The whole thing is easy to navigate and allows you to sort the top guilds by rank, renown, renown per member, members and average rank. It's also possible to list guilds for both factions on a server or a single faction.

Everyone's going to have a differing opinion on what matters most to be considered a top guild on a server. It doesn't really matter though, as people just love to gloat. Saying you're number one is a huge thrill for anybody in just about any situation. The existence of those giant foam fingers are proof enough that being able to point and gloat is what matters most when it comes to leaderboards. To quote the fabled worlds of a pop-culture schoolyard bully, "HA! HA!" or something to that effect.
