It’s been a while since I’ve been over to Mythic’s website but have noticed they have released their minimum system specs for Warhammer Online. The specs are within reach of most gamers these days, but after the launch black screen disaster that was …
At least, why I’m not going to buy it right away. Snafzg over at TheGreenSkin.com made a great point, in my opinion, when he posted that he thought the next beta phase for WAR could be the actual release. We’ve seen it so many times before - …

With the atom bomb that Mythic Entertainment dropped yesterday about the massive cuts for Warhammer Online it’s leaving many WAR fans in an emotional fog and just as many WAR haters saying, “I told you so”. It is a lot to take in for sure, I still can’t quite wrap my mind around whether or …
Mark Jacobs announced some good news and some bad news for Mythic’s upcoming Warhammer Online. Well, he announced some good news and alluded to other good news, heh. First we’ll start with the good news, the bit he alluded to: Warhammer Online won’t be delayed, probably.
The other good news, the part he actually did announce …
Syp over at Waaagh! has a post up about the CE for Warhammer being sold out by this coming Monday, possibly. This got me to thinking about my previous experience with a Collector’s Edition and whether or not it’s worth the money to buy the …
You see the ads for these two game economy wreckers all the time - power leveling and gold farming. Hell you probably see one right now - wink wink.

I remember the thoughts that ran through my head when I first started reading pre-release info about Star Wars Galaxies, my first step into the MMORPG world. Before this I was an FPS ’stat’ whore and competition shooter. I only played first person shooters, mostly in the Delta Force series from Novalogic back in those …
I recently read a few posts at various other sites talking about how all the MMORPG’s coming out as of late have been pretty well cookie cutter games. In other words, the same game repackaged with a few ’stand out’ features. Like AoC for example, a lot of people are comparing that to WoW in …
Once again Massively delivers a unique insight to the world of warfare in their series in which they talk about the dynamics of attacking keeps and fortresses in the upcoming MMO Warhammer Online.
