PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - First legitimate city capture in Warhammer Online This world-first was over six months in the making: One of the realms finally managed to overtake their enemy's capital city in Warhammer Online without any known form of exploitation. Destruction of Karak Eight Peaks (EU) defeated Karl Franz over a 14-hour marathon run this weekend and successfully captured Altdorf.

In dramatic fashion, the Third Realm alliance finished the necessary public quests gating the king instance with only two minutes remaining. After a number of wipes, they had Franz caged and ready for rotten fruit and vegetable target practice. They were rewarded greatly for their efforts.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Mythic Introduces RvR Quartermasters To WAR Mythic has announced a new way to reward Warhammer Online players who take part in Realm vs Realm battles.

A Quartermaster system will be introduced to the game, allowing players to purchase items with tokens obtained from killing other player's characters. These tokens come in the form of medallions and crests and they will have different ranks depending on their origin, for example a Recruit's Medallion will be obtained from a Tier 1 kill, a Scout's Medallion for Tier 2 and so on.

Every kill has a good chance for a medallion to drop, Crests are awarded less frequently and from very specific events.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Europe: No Plans To Close More Servers In response to last week's news that Mythic has offered Warhammer Online players free character transfers from the Ostermark server, IncGamers contacted the company to find out if more server closures were on the horizon.

During March, Mythic announced the closure of around 60 WAR servers in total across Europe and the United States. Recent news of another free transfer becoming available has led to rumours of more closures but, according to a statement given to IncGamers by WAR's European publisher, Europe can rest assured that the servers this side of the pond are safe for the time being.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer: Another Server Closure? Mythic has opened up free character transfers from another of its Warhammer Online servers, indicating that another server is to be closed down.

Players spread across dozens of servers were forced to transfer last month when Mythic closed down over forty Warhammer realms. Several aspects of the game, such as Public Quests, require that servers have a high population - merging two servers will ensure that players still experience high quality gameplay, but it also suggests that the number of Warhammer subscribers is severely lower than Mythic's initial prediction.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Age Of Reckoning: Patch 1.2.1 Preview Mythic has released a preview of the upcoming patch 1.2.1 for Warhammer Online, which will be hitting the public test servers this week.

The patch will feature a number of fixes and improvements, including a change to combat responsiveness. Players have complained for months that casting times were inaccurate, and Mythic have focussed on resolving this issue. Players should no longer see a delay when spell casting in normal server conditions, and in high-lag situations there will be a slight pause after the casting bar fills up instead of a "stretch" as there is currently. The UI will also display half second increments as an additional method of predicting casting times more accurately.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Mythic: The State Of Warhammer Online Mythic's Mark Jacobs, developer of Warhammer Online, has written a "State of the Game" letter to the community on the official Warhammer site, listing the company's achievements with the game, problems they have yet to overcome and upcoming projects.

He starts off his letter by saying that the last six months have been very hectic for Mythic, but quickly goes on to say that the recent Patch 1.2 and the upcoming 1.3 will represent possibly the largest amount of new content and changes to an MMO ever over a few months, a brave claim indeed.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online: Over Forty Servers To Close Mythic has asked Warhammer Online players on selected servers to transfer their characters to one of 15 destination realms, in preparation for the closure of 43 game servers.

A notice went up yesterday on the Warhammer site, informing players of the upcoming transfers. A table containing 43 Source and 15 destination servers shows players where they may transfer their characters to, although if they would prefer another server Mythic is allowing a one-off transfer to any server of the player's choice of the same type.
