PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - WAR's new system: Zone Domination Keen and Graev's: "In a youtube video (read more at the end of this entry to watch it) that paul prepared on his Birthday (happy b-day Pb), he and Jeff Hickman revealed a new "supplemental" system that is coming to WAR's realm war system: Zone Domination. According to the video, this zone domination system acts exactly how I've been saying RvR should act from the beginning: If you own all of the keeps and battle objectives, and you can defend them, then the zone becomes under your control. What does this mean for the realm war? It means EXACTLY what I've been saying it would mean-it means you have a reason to defend now and a reason to actively get out there and take stuff! Without these silly bars of victory points(well, I assume they may be staying) you won't have to worry about accumulating all these extra points and crap just to lock a zone. If you own the objectives and the keeps in a zone then you own it. All I have to say is FINALLY."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Bruce Maclean's WAR dev diary is crazy but awesome PALGN: "The latest Warhammer Online developer diary is up on the official site, and we've got to say, Bruce Maclean's eccentricity is infectious. The subject of this dev diary is an explanation of Mythic's patching schedule, which could well have been a very boring topic, but if you visit the page you'll soon see that Bruce is just brimming with AWESOME! HOT! FIXES! and SEXY! COOL! NEW! FEATURES! that he simply must share with the WAR-playing world.

It sounds like Community Coordinator Missy Hatch had a hard time getting Bruce to cough up his input to the dev diary series -- she'd been chasing it up for the better part of two months -- and perhaps it is because he and his team were working non-stop to bring that sexy content out, improving WAR for current and future subscribers. He mentioned that, without including smaller things like server maintenance, there have been ten proper patches since the game's launch, which really wasn't that long ago. We've got no idea how Bruce got so zany, but if this is one of the secrets behind Mythic's patching schedule then we hope that he stays that way."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online launches Recruit-a-Friend offer The Warhammer Online December newsletter is filled with some of the announcements we've already mentioned at Massively, such as the Keg End holiday event, the two new careers, and some the other big changes that are impacting the game.

What we haven't mentioned yet is that Warhammer Online has a Recruit-a-Friend program. It doesn't give the experience bonuses that the World of Warcraft offer of the same name does. In fact, the WAR Recruit-a-Friend is similar to what's happening with EVE Online: you invite a friend to a free trial. If that friend becomes a subscriber, the invitation sender receives 30 days of free game time credited to their account. You can recruit up to three people, although over your time subscribed this increases to a maximum of six recruitment notices you can have on deck at any given time. For more info on how this works, log into your master account to see how it's done.

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - No new careers any time soon, say the Warhammer developers Massively: "We've already talked this morning about today's patch 1.1a for Warhammer Online, as well as the numerous changes to RvR incentivizing the open field style of play. We also spoke with Adam Gershowitz and Josh Drescher about the recently released new careers: the Knight of the Blazing Sun and the Black Guard. They indicated those two will be the last new careers we should expect to see in the game for some time. We already knew the Dwarf Hammerer was out permanently; now it looks like anyone looking forward to the Orc Choppa or even the rumored Dwarven Slayer will be doing so for a while yet."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online: Public Test Server - Patch 1.1.0 is Coming! Warherald writes:

"The Public Test Server is coming soon, so in the meantime we wanted to provide you with instructions on how you can get onto the server as well as how to copy your characters and jump right into testing.

The purpose of the Public Test Server (PTS) is for the players to help us refine and test the latest version of the game by experiencing the changes firsthand and providing feedback and bug reports to Mythic. As such, we want to remind you that the content introduced to this server is still considered "in development," and that bugs and issues not found on the LIVE server may occur on the PTS. All features and fixes listed below are subject to change until we release Game Update 1.1.0 to all live servers.

When leaving Feedback or Bug Reports we encourage you to provide details on why you feel the way you do or why you think something needs to be fixed. It's also important to note that when you submit a Bug Report, it automatically records your location in game so be sure to submit them at the location where you experienced them when you can!"

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online 1.0.6 patch adds new classes, tidal wave of updates Massively: "All those Warhammer Online players who where playing along with the Heavy Metal event in November will be happy to know that today the fruits of their labor has arrived. That's right: Today, Mythic brings us Black Guards and Knights of the Blazing Sun! For those who didn't finish the full Heavy Metal event, don't worry, the classes will become available to everyone next week. Servers are going down at 3:30AM PST / 6:30AM EST for North American players with Oceanic servers following at 9:00AM EST. No specific time-frame was given for the updating process, so we'll just have to sit tight and wait it out.

New classes aren't the only thing found in this patch, however. There's a ton of general game updates, performance updates, bug fixes and class tweaks coming with the 1.0.6 patch, too."

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Warhammer Online: Patch 1.0.6 Arrives 12/2/08 From War Herald:

"The update you've all been waiting for, 1.0.6, is almost here! We wanted to thank everyone who tested and provided feedback on this update's content.

On Tuesday, 12/2/08 all servers will be brought offline to begin the update. North American servers will be brought down at 6:30AM EST with Oceanic servers to follow at 9:00AM EST.

This is our biggest update yet! It's chock-full of exciting career changes and heralds the debut of the highly anticipated Black Guard and Knight of the Blazing Sun careers. If you've finished the Heavy Metal event and have opened your Heavy Metal Chest, then you will be able to play a Black Guard and Knight of the Blazing Sun when this patch goes live (before anyone else!). For those of you who did not complete the Heavy Metal event, don't fret! You, too, will be able to play these two new careers starting next week.

This update is so massive that we needed to split the notes into two sections. So, without further ado, on with the notes! WAAAGH!!!"

PC - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - WAR's Heavy Metal hotfixes Massively: "Warhammer Online community coordinator James Nichols made an announcement about what Mythic is doing to address these concerns:

* By popular request, players will now be able to complete previous daily tasks for the Heavy Metal event. A task will continue to unlock each day and remain open until the end of the event allowing players to complete all the tasks at their convenience. Please Note: If you notice an apparent loss of credit for any previous days you have already completed simply exit the game entirely and log back in to correct this issue.

* Reikland Factory: Improvements have been made to potentially increase the rate at which the scenario launches."
