Folks,

It’s been a long 4 years since we first dove into making Warhammer Online, and we’ve held on to this quest like two drug-induced college kids trying to get to a corporate food chain which they highly desire. The launch was awesomeness personified, with over 400K players getting in on the first day with little or no problems. So, take a step out from Emain for a moment and get ready for WAR!

We’ve fixed so many things I don’t even know where to start. Improved guild and alliance interfaces, scenario and server queues, quest improvements along with many graphical and client performance issues that have been resolved. It’s been a busy month! I think this goes to show how much we do listen to our players, and how much we value their feedback. We’re nothing if not anything with you. After all, where would Silent Bob be without Jay? Keep the feedback rolling in.

With that said, we’ve got a huge list of things we’re working on: Tier 1 and Tier 2 Scenario revamping, adding Tier 1 Battle Keeps for taking, plenty of content and class polish for the Destruction side, plus lots of bells and whistles like ability icon improvement and added sound effects and even quest NPC voice dialogue. We’re destroying these issues as hard as a Black Ork on an unfortunate War Lion - quick and merciless.

In the upcoming months, we’ll be looking at bringing you the missing classes back and delving deep into class balance. After that we’ll be working on bringing a lot of added content for both sides and improving the end-game experience. We’re even looking to add a RvR oriented dungeon for higher level players to experience. Remember, this is WAR! We’ll always be here to make sure our players come first and their concerns are our top priority.

And with that, we’re off to WAR!
