Folks,
Years have passed – we’ve poured our lives and souls into 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 so good that if we were in Soviet Russian – it would have launched us! What, with an estimated 430,000 users launching into the world with little or no problems – the first day. So stop running from that Lurikeen Moose and listen up! We’ve got tons in store.
We’ve tackled the most important issues like experience gains and Scenario availability, along with client performance issues, interface enhancement – whew! We’ve been busy. I hope everyone understands the amount of time we’ve taken to listen to our player base on these concerns. Keep giving us feedback and we’ll keep fixing the problems. After all, where would Lloyd be without Harry?
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 hitting these issues like a Bright Wizard against a group of Magus’s on Friday – hard and with no remorse.
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. With that said, it’s WAR! Feel no remorse for slaying your enemies, and don’t worry: we’re here for *you* and we’re focused on bringing you the best experience as possible. Keep the feedback coming!
And with that, we’re off to WAR!

Daedren’s Guide to Living with Deathknights
I don’t like writing about Warcraft. I consider the game unchallenging, frightfully unimaginative and terribly addicting – but in the same time, I’m drawn to it for its familiarity. It’s the familiar and user friendly …
