WARBand Wigouts

By Frank on May 7, 2010

Over at Multiplaying, Maeve’s written a bit of a missive on dysfunctional warbands in WAR and how she’s surprised at the amount of priority on skill and efficiency as opposed to good clean fun. It was definitely an interesting read and an encapsulation of what can happen in WAR’s warbands as they will around taking [...]

Mythic’s Marvelous Mea Culpa

Mythic’s Marvelous Mea Culpa

By Frank on April 21, 2010

If there’s anything that sucks to say sometimes, no matter if you’re an individual or a company, it’s “my bad”. Whether it’s in everyday interaction as simple as bumping into someone and causing them to scald themselves with hot coffee, or as complex as a fender bender car accident, we’re all going to be put [...]

The Subtle WAR

The Subtle WAR

By Frank on October 26, 2009

Over in the land of Mythic, something interesting appears to be happening. Flying under the radar, Warhammer Online seems to be under the torrent of stormy MMO waters above. If Aion, Champions, and even Fallen Earth are ships sailing above the surface, WAR is a submarine, cruising almost casually underwater. But as we know through [...]

WAR’s Continuing Polish

WAR’s Continuing Polish

By Frank on October 15, 2009

Not to be outdone by their own push to show off their new performance and stability improvements, WAR released a brand new Producer’s Letter for 1.3.2 and Beyond, speaking about the current patch and teasing a couple of new details for future patches. The letter is worth a read – not just for the usual [...]

The WAR Stability Balancing Act

The WAR Stability Balancing Act

By Frank on October 14, 2009

If there’s one thing that has made Mythic’s Warhammer Online a bit more difficult to bear for customers over the past year or so, it’s stability and performance. In a game that is dependent on both population and massive group combat in order to increase fun factor, it’s critical that the game run as smoothly [...]

The Great WAR Community Q&A

By Frank on October 6, 2009

Over at Warhammer Alliance we’ve got a nice little Q&A that we’re planning on dropping on Mythic in the very near future concerning WAR. The idea is to create something comprised entirely of user questions from the community and put them in the interviewer’s seat for the developers. Whether you are or are not a [...]

The WAR Reset Button

By Frank on October 4, 2009

Image by yum9me via Flickr As I talked about before on this blog, the new hotness of MMOs this past September has predictably pushed other titles that have been out a while out of the spotlight in order to deal with issues in-house. Warhammer Online is one of these, and the upcoming 1.3.2 patch is [...]

The WAR Birthday Party Speech

By Frank on September 18, 2009

Image by She Takes The Cake via Flickr Today marks the first anniversary of the release of Warhammer Online, the spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot, and Mythic’s 2nd major attempt at an MMO. It was one year ago today that WAR, the darling of the MMO playerbase at the time, released to major [...]

WAR’s 1.3.2 Cannonball

By Frank on September 1, 2009

Image by Danny Playami via Flickr Well – Zemanta couldn’t find me a good cannonball splash picture, but a human cannonball will be just as attention-grabbing, I think, right? Over at Warhammer Alliance, I’ve posted an interesting interview with Jeff Skalski that talks about the WAR one-year retrospective. But there’s also stuff about patch 1.3.2 [...]

WAR’s Time Capsule – One Year Later

By Frank on September 1, 2009

Image by space_monkey via Flickr Over at Warhammer Alliance we’ve brought back a thread that I managed to start over a year ago about the future of Warhammer Online. The thread is called the WHA Time Capsule and if you click the link you’ll be taken to it. It’s interesting to see a lot of [...]
