This is an awesome preview of the trailer that is rumored to be unveiled at Leipzig. This is only a clip, but it is amazing none the less. The clip is in French, but there is a rough translation here.
Early on, it was pretty widely believed that the pre-ordering WAR would get you a ticket into OPEN BETA along with the closed beta testers. That may or may not be the case as it appears there are only a limited number of …

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 …

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.

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 …
