Take me on a trip, on your magic swirling ship, EA! Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning proudly introduces an all new service for our players; Account Entitlements! These services are available now for purchase from the EA store and include the following features offered at special introductory prices: * Server Transfer – $19.99 USD, this will grant you a code that can be redeemed for one server transfer for a single character. * Starter Mount Pack – $8.99 USD, [...] From today’s European Warhammer Herald: Today we announce that GOA will cease publishing, operating and subscription services for Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning® (WAR) in Europe and transition the operation of the game to Mythic Entertainment. We have enjoyed a lot of great times with you. Over the past couple of years we have fostered a fantastically vibrant and active community; we saw the world’s first Tchar’Zanek and Karl Franz kills pre 1.3.5 and hosted undeniably some of the [...] Warhammer Alliance has been serving the needs of the Warhammer Online community pretty much since the game was announced.

Across the board it is being reduced in range and damage, with great consequence for many classes. As an Engineer, I’m a bit concerned, but on the other hand I’ll probably stay alive a fair bit better, so until I can see these changes in action, it’ll be hard to reach too many conclusions. I hope Napalm is hasn’t been made completely useless. Also, really? [...] As I mentioned in the post declaring my glorious return to the Warhammer battlefield, players coming back under the returning players scheme have access to some extra quests. So far as I can tell, on the Order side we have three such quests, and I assume Destruction has analogues.
