Did you heard about fantastic upcoming MMORPG game called Aion Online: Tower of Eternity. Is this Warhammer Online and World of Warcraft killer? Aion created by NCsoft’s Aion Team Development Dept, a major Korean game developer. Well, if you are bored with Warhammer Online, you can always find out more about Aion. This game already won the award “Best Korean Game of the Year”. Korea are talking that Aion Online has the epic scale, immersive story, and stunning graphics and sound design.
Well, game is looking really nice, but people are complaining about all farming and leveling stuff (second World of Warcraft with grinding, grinding, grinding...etc...) just like in other similiar games from Korean - Lineage or Lineage 2 ehh good ol days of Lineage :-). Aion has also very huge character customization capabilieties, you can create avatar who is looking just like you or even Chuck Norris! Yeah its true!
Game is already huge hit, especially in US where is nr 1 selling game in 2009! And what about Warhammer Online? It's hard to say where WAR is going to...I hope in better place...
PS. I'm playing in Warhammer Online as Marauder and my good old character is already on 60 renown rank. Farming renown is kinda dull these days, but I really love my character and it's hard for me to leave Warhammer and play in Aion Online :/
Warhammer Online Land of the Dead and Bioware attack!
Welcome! As you already know, few weeks ago has been released special free expansion for Warhammer Online, Land of the Dead. Well, I already been there and I'm little bit disappointed, because this new area is small and you need only few hours to discover most of it.
In comparision with Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar, where Turbine added enormous areas like Forochel, Land of the Dead is kinda microscopic - “much ado about nothing”. I don't want to be cruel, but if Mythic want to popularize Warhammer Online, this kinda way, well Warhammer will fall soon.
I was very excited when I read about other thing, that Bioware will be involved in Warhammer Online, and this probably best thing I read this year!!!(related to Warhammer Online of course..)
I hope that this way, Warhammer Online change into better online MMORPG, because EA Mythic well, they they are lack of ideas.

Warhammer News
Welcome! The Heavy Metal event has begun and we are able to play little bit sooner as the Knight of The Blazing Sun and The Blackguard. Yupi! Also some info for NOOBS! Well if you want to go AFK while doing Public Quest areas or during keep battles - you will no longer receive contribution credit towards those encounters! Yeah that true and this is part of Patch 1.0.5! Another cool thing is that players will no longer appear mounted when they are not. Yeah they are fast..i know this bug around 3 months or something...
Anyway latest patch is little bit small, there is also improvement: several issues have been addressed that previously allowed players to get to locations they were not supposed to be able to reach. Also this one is good for anyone
And in this movie, our friend, Paul Barnett is telling us details about Knight of the Blazing Sun. Knight is looking quite cool in his gold armor and gold everywhere fancy look :D just listen Paul he's knows!
Anyway I'm still leveling my dear Bloodthirster, powerful Marauder of Chaos. I'm not interested in Black Guard or Knight of the Blazing Sun, because playing as a tank is far less interesting then playing as dps. Of course you can use doublehanded weapons and be spec like dps, but I already picked my favorite character :-)

Warhammer Online patch 1.0.5
On official website for Warhammer Online, i found some information about upcoming very big update. In Patch 1.0.5 we will be able to test all in-game improvement on Beta reaml with copied characters beforehand. I must say that this update is one biggest update ever released for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
The patch has many improvement, most of them are related to specific class. I found some interesting updates for my Marauder :-) :
Skill Tainted Claw, from patch this ability will now be increased in duration by Ailments, not Cripples.
Wave of Mutilation: The amount that stats contribute to the damage of this ability has been slightly increased to make it consistent with other damage over time abilities.
Deadly Clutch: The Value of this debuff has been reduced to 50%. In addition, 25% of the value the target is healed for (after debuff) also affects the Marauder.
Rend: The amount that stats contribute to the damage of this ability has been slightly increased to make it consistent with other damage over time abilities.
You can read about other improvements right here. I found also two interesting general in-game improvements:
- More penalties and offsetting for players that try to garner renown and XP by going afk in Scenarios and Public Quests.
- Morale abilities should work more reliably.

Warhammer Online, small review
Hi guys! So we are after premiere of Warhammer Online :-) i was really sucked up by this great mmo, EA Mythic created top quality MMO for everyone. Now we are able to fight against other players in extreme player-vs.-player battles in special scenarios or fight on contested territory in a never-ending struggle for supremacy.
I was thinking long time which character is best for the beginning and after few hours i finally.. Became blood-thirsty, savage Marauder of Chaos! My other option was Chosen of Chaos or Witch Hunter, but powerful melee dps, Marauder was best choice (of course in my opinion).
Ok so what is so cool in Warhammer Online? First of all i like it that every item is without any durability! Yeah it's maybe a detail but i was sometimes really frustrated during the game when i was on some kind of raid and half of my inventory was broken. NO MORE!
Another thing is very dynamic combat. Everything in Warhammer Online is faster then in other MMORP games. I played a lot in World of Warcraft, Lineage 2 and Lord of the Rings Online and i never fought as fast as in Warhammer Online.
Last things are scenarios and Public Quest. It's very good idea and i think playing with other players never has been so easy, now players can hang around in scenarios or at Public Quests and have a lot of fun, grinding together! There is a lot of scenarios in Tiers 1-4, from large ones to smaller one with more intensive PvP action (i think these scenarios are the best to farm renown points fast).
My character is called Bloodthirster and I'm currently rank 26. Leveling is kinda a fun, but the most fun is to play on Realm vs Realm areas where you need to siege castle and lock (or dominate) zone with other players of your faction. If you succeed it, you will earn renown reward - around 3,500 renown points - which is quite large amount of these points…

Another thing is...Ever heard about Skirmishes?
This is probably the most basic form of Player vs Player available to any player in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Skirmishes consist of 1 on 1 (or group vs. group) combat that will see each side combat until one or both sides die, or run away. Because skirmishes are open world combat they do not follow any structured rule set. This means that players can attack a single opponent as a group (ganking) attack a gamer of a much lower level, or attack while another player is fighting a mob. Because there is no rule structure, we can and will do anything within their power to win the fight. It’s pretty fun. It’s maybe one of the most entertaining activity in WAR – I enjoy this kind of playing, but you must be strong enough to beat most of your enemies, or you will be ganked, kicked – you will lose many times. If you die few times, try to change tactics and attack your enemies from ambush, or join gank parties (roam party). You can earn a lot of needed Renown and this way get better and better gear (Annihilator, Conqueror, Invader, Warlord, Sovereign…and maybe more in the future!). I mean greater item sets.
Skirmishes can and will be fought for any reason – when you are bored or looking for more renown. Whether someone holds a grudge against another dude sees an opportunity where they hold the upper hand, or decides that they wish to Player vs Player at that moment, eventually every player will find themselves skirmishing in orange Player vs Player Zone. You must remember, because of the overall purpose of Player vs Player within Warhammer Online, winning a skirmish is helpful to your side of the conflict. With every kill in a skirmish a gamer earns victory points to aid realm and lock zone. This makes open world Player vs Player great, especially since the nature of skirmishes allow for the initiating to quickly and with little effort score victory points (VP) to win. What can I say more? Just play in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and seek out for more skirmish fun!

Malekith The Witch King -Leader of the Dark Elf Army
Another great leader is Malekith, The Witch King of Naggaroth. This evil, filled with rage Dark Elf is trained in the Dark Arts by his Sorceress mother Morathi. He hates aboce all things, High Elves, in Ulthuan he plot against his rivals to crush them with great force. Malekith, the Witch King of Naggaroth or Witch King of the Druchii is the supreme commander of the Dark Elf army. From his capital city at Naggarond he dispatches the dreaded Black Arks with one goal in mind - the complete and utter capitulation and subjugation of the High Elves. In the setting of WAR, the "Age of Reckoning", Malekith was the primary instigator of the titanic conflict and is the force behind the sudden rise to power of Grumlok and Gazbag.
Son of Morathi and Aenarion, the first Phoenix King, Malekith grew up to be a genius in all fields of war. When his father died and he was snubbed, in favour of Bel-Shanaar, he left on a long campaign against Chaos. After returning, Malekith initiated a plot to seize the throne, but his plans were foiled and his people split in two: the High Elves and the Dark Elves. Malekith has spent the last five thousand years as the Witch King of Naggaroth, where he has launched several failed campaigns to regain his lands.
Malekith is the architect of the Age of Reckoning; he gave special magic talismans to Orc & Goblin Leaders - GRUMLOK AND GAZBAG. Grumlok is an Orc Warboss, and Goblin Shaman is named Gazbag. Together they control the Greenskin army in the Age of Reckoning. He is using an amulet which greatly enhances his big strength, allowing him to dominate the Greenskin tribes in the Badlands to create a huge Waaagh! Which was able to conquer the Dwarf stronghold of Karak Eight Peaks – this was terrible and shocking for all Dwarves in Old World. He and Gazbag are said to be inseparable and very powerful. One is cunning, wise, wielding powerful magical force (Gazbag), second is strong, almost invulnerable green Warlord.
In Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Grumlok was a very strong warlord, but still hindered by his own nature and driven by instinct to kill all enemies around him instead of focus his forces on one single goal. Everything changed once and for all when he was taken to the court of Malekith the Witch king and given his magical amulet. Where he was very strong before, now he is deadly like no one other and almost invulnerable for any attacks, and his comrade, the shaman Gazbag was now an unstoppable channel of the power of Waaaaaaagh! With these tools he was put into his place in Malekith's plan to occupy the Dwarfs. Both are used by Malekith, Grumlok and Gazbag to unite the Greenskin tribes and destroy their ancient stunted enemies – Dwarves. Cunning plan isn’t it right?
His companion, Gazbag is a Goblin Shaman, and is joint leader of the Bloody Sun Boyz with the Orc Warboss Grumlok. He is using magical amulet given by Malekith, within which the witch king had infused a spell of command that would control both of green dudes - Gazbag & Grumlok - to gather their tribe and march east into the World's Edge Mountains; in addition, it greatly amplifies the wearer's abilities.
I'm really waiting to play Dark Elven, Black Guard or Assassin. They look very cool. In fact it's my favorite race, second is Chaos and later Orcs and Goblins...
Warlord Tchar'zanek, Leader of the Chaos Army
Today i want to bring you closer, first army leader from Warhammer Online: AoR, i've got info about him from newsletter ;-). First is most dangerous warlord of Chaos, Tchar'zanek, “Champion of Tzeentch and leader of a vast, black army of Northmen and Daemonic creatures of Chaos”. This dark servant of evil god Tzeentch is most terryfing and powerful from all champions of Chaos, " warhost charges southward from the icy wastes of Norsca to bring bloodshed and terror to the lands of the Empire". He is not only great warrior but also powerful sorcerer and skilled tactic (like other champions of Tzeentch ). What’s his plan?"....and if his master plan is successful, the lands of men will be forever changed into a blasphemous Realm of Chaos"...and that’s all about him from newsletter,...
Cool Video
Hi, today something cool ( in my opinion :P ) this video is created from games - Warhammer Mark of Chaos, Warhammer Online ( :P ) and another game but i dunno which one ;|
what do you think about this video?
what do you think about this video?
Video of the Month
Take a look on new video from EA Mythic. You can see, how Warhammer Online look in Realm vs. Realm. After watching this video I think, game is looking very similar to World of Warcraft. Avatars are similar, buffs and even colors. Now it’s question, what kind of innovation game has to win struggle with Wow? I don’t know much about game, but I think game isn’t fresh. We are all waiting on special MMO RPG which will crush the glory of World of Warcraft. As an ex-WoW gamer I really want to see WoW destruction :P I don’t know why – I just feel hate when I watch these sweet candy looking videos on YouTube and excited noobs…blaaah…
Anyway even so I like very much Warhammer world so I will buy Warhammer Online even its crappy to find out more about this game. I always dreamed to play as powerful Chaos Warrior, wielding deadly weapon in armor of Dark Gods! I got in my special place all coolest chaos miniatures my friends ;-). I got whole army of Chaos, with Greater Daemon of Khorne – Bloodthirster, powerful Engrim Van Horstman on his Chaos Dragon or Archaon Lord of the End Times (Archaon is the most powerful Chaos Lord in the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battle – hope to meet him in the game;-)). Of course I have large regiments of Chaos Warriors, Chaos Marauders, Chaos Knights and Chaos Marauders on steeds, several Chaos Spawns, several Chaos Chariots, Slaanesh Daemonette and powerful Chaos Cannon (oh yeah with this kinda weaponry, you can smash everone).
Anyway lets talk about Warhammer Online. Well, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning! This title will be hot I tell ya! We find out more later :-)
See you again
