There's a brand new update over on the Warhammer Online Herald , and this one is something particularly cool for guilds: a peek at the Guild Interface in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning . The most notable piece of information about the guild interface is that you'll not only be able to see what you'd expect in a guild window, but you'll also be able to modify your guild's Standard (with access, of course), purchase special guild-only Tactics, and check out the rewards available to your guild based on your guild's level. The article covers the Profile, Calendar, Roster, Alliance, Standard, Rewards and Admin sections of the interface, as well as a spotlight guild -- this time being the well-known guild Xen of Onslaught. Xen of Onslaught first made its presence felt in WAR during the Empire vs. Chaos focus test in February 08'. They quickly earned the respect of some of their fellow players and joined the Retribution Alliance during the next focus. It wasn't...

In our last article, we covered where WAR is as of now . With this particular piece, we'll be talking a bit about where WAR is going – more specifically in the case of the Renown system, Character Mastery, and the careers of the elves. For those familiar with EA Mythic’s previous success – Dark Age of Camelot – the Renown system will seem relatively similar. The same mechanic of gaining “levels” is there, and it’s earned in the same fashion: “experience” points which can only be obtained through Player versus Player or Realm versus Realm action. “Renown” is a fairly appropriate name for this system, too. More on that later, though – for now we’ll cover the basics of the system. Renown is completely earned through the PvP and RvR systems. There are 80 “Renown Ranks” in total – think of them as levels in other games. You level up, gain access to new PvP-specific perks, and also unlock the ability to purchase and use higher quality PvP-specific armor and weapons. Each Renown Rank works...

This afternoon we had an opportunity to speak with Mark Jacobs of EA Mythic about the recent delay of Warhammer Online . This turned out to be a rather long chat, so to avoid inundating you with 23 minutes worth of conversation, we've condensed it into a concise overview of everything discussed. I want to note ahead of time this is specifically regarding the delay of the game, how it affects beta, the Warhammer Online community, and of course, the development of the game. We kicked things off with one of the most obvious and important pieces to the puzzle of a delay announcement: the community's reaction and subsequent discussion of said delay. He [Mark Jacobs] took initiative to open up dialogue about it ahead of time on several fansites, including Warhammer Alliance . “Exactly how I expected: some positive, some negative, some trolling,” he said. “The vast majority [of fans] feel it was the right decision.” Mark then reflected on why EA Mythic chose to delay the game again; stating...

As an Associate Producer with EA Mythic, Josh Drescher is hard at work on EA Mythic's upcoming next-gen MMORPG- Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, based on Games Workshops' tabletop fantasy war game, and one of the most-anticipated PC games of 2008. Now we have an opportunity to interview with Josh Drescher. He tells us more information about the game. Also he brings us his picture. MMOsite : First, congratulations, you've got over 500,000 players signed up for Warhammer Online. Till now, how do players perform on the battlefield? Does it require NPCs to involve in the battle in order to keep balance? Josh Drescher : Thanks! We've VERY excited about how the fans have responded and we can't wait to get the game into their hands so they can experience what we've been building. Warhammer Online is all about huge armies of players fighting against one another forever and ever. Our goal has always been to make that the focus of RvR whenever and wherever possible. With...

Auf der englischsprachigen Website von Warcry.com standen erneut Associate Producer Josh Drescher und Senior Designer Justin Webb Rede und Antwort. Unter anderem sprechen sie über die weitere Verzögerung der Veröffentlichung und warum dies nur zum Vorteil für den Spieler werden kann sowie die Wichtigkeit von Individualität in einem Onlinespiel. Hier ein kurzer Auszug aus dem Interview: Warcry wrote: WarCry: Your big headline recently was the decision to push back launch. This is not the first time WAR has been delayed. Why do you believe this release date is one players can expect you to meet? EA Mythic: MMORPG fans have come to expect top tier titles to launch smoothly with finished, highly polished content across the board. This second adjustment of the launch date is intended to give us the time we need to make sure we deliver a product that meets those expectations. We're all but finished with feature and system integration right now, but Mark Jacobs (Lead Designer and GM of our...
