PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Altdorf is burning (Warhammer city siege endgame begun) Despite hopes by the developers that Warhammer's city siege endgame wouldn't begin for at least a month, it appears the siege has already begun. Just a week and a half after the launch of the title Altdorf is burning on the EU server Karak Eight Peaks. The Book of Grudges was the first to report on the Altdorf assault, with Wizards and Wenches offering up commentary directly from the forums. From the sounds of things, there were major issues associated with the very first Warhammer city siege ... so many that Mythic might even call foul and reset things.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - RPS Warhammer Guilds Update Kieron Gillen writes:

"About time for a general update on all things Guild Based and has generally been pillaging for over a week now. It's still on the ever-busy Karak Hirn. There's been a server cloning thing, which means that we could move the Guild, but general feeling is to stay at Karak - and discussed on the new Warhammer Guild Forums. Equally, Poisoned Sponge has actually got into gear and sorted out the Order side of this endeavour, which rather than actually being at Karak Eight Peaks is off at Tor Arnoc instead. Details on the actual forum and the latest details on how to join the guilds beneath the cut."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Mythic Remedies Crediting Issues Edge writes: "Warhammer Online developer Mythic will be implementing a new online system that will give credit where credit's due.

According to the latest International Game Developers Association newsletter, "Mythic will create an online database listing the name and title of everyone who contributed to a project, regardless of current employment status.

"Additionally, the studio will make best efforts to provide this information for its previous online games."

Mythic general manager Mark Jacobs came under fire in August for saying only employees who were part of Warhammer Online's launch team would be listed in the title's credits. Such a policy would leave former employees who contributed to the product in a bind when trying to tell new employers of their work history."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Mythic, IGDA Reach Agreement On Warhammer Credits Michael Zenke writes:

Late last month, before Warhammer had even launched, there was a minor dustup between the International Game Developer's Association and Mythic Entertainment. Mythic claimed that the sheer number of people who had worked on the game made proper accreditation impossible, and would only be recognizing the people on the project when the game launched. IGDA responded via its newsletter that it found that disrespectful to the people who had previously worked on the game, and took Mythic GM Mark Jacobs to task for the oversight. We've since noted the release of the Warhammer credits video to the game's official website.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Analyst: Warhammer Base to "Level Off" at 250-300K Edge writes: "Publisher EA is targeting "around 250,000 subscribers" for Mythic's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, one analyst speculates, suggesting a substantial drop-off of users after the free month is up.

EA said it shipped 1.5 million copies of WAR to retail last week.

Arvind Bhatia at Stern Agee told Edge on Tuesday he came to the 250,000 subscriptions figure based on EA's goal to break even on the game.

"Over time, subscribers will drop off and level off at 250,000- 300,000," he said in a phone interview."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning -  Mythic: Why You Should Play 'Warhammer Online' Instead Of 'World of Warcraft'  MTV Multiplayer's Tracey John reports:

"After years of development, today is the official worldwide release of "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning."

At a demo last month, I had an extensive interview with EA Mythic head and lead "Warhammer Online" designer Mark Jacobs. He spoke about the alarming failure rate of MMOs and what's needed to be successful against the unprecedented success of "World of Warcraft."

But as a regular "WoW" player who's never played any form of "Warhammer," I also wanted to know straight-up: Why should I play "WAR" instead of "WoW"?

Here's what Jacobs told me during that interview..."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Console Warhammer Online would be a 'different game' Speaking to VideoGamer.com Paul Barnett, Warhammer Online creative director, revealed that Mythic did look at bringing the game to console around two years ago but put those discussions on hold to concentrate on the PC game.

Barnett said: "We had a good look at the console about two years ago. The position we ended up with was it would have to be a different game. That's basically where we ended up with our thinking. And then Mark (Jacobs, Mythic co-founder) basically went 'I don't want to think about it yet. Stop thinking about it'. If Mark wakes up and decides we're going to do a console version then you'll get one as fast as possible. Just write a letter direct to Mark. 'I would very much like a console version. Please please please make one. Make it for this console'. He'll probably write back to you then and let you know. He's very good like that. Read his blog."
