The Day WAR stood still

October 21, 2008

Today my Warhammer subscription officially lapsed. That means, my toons will be on cold storage until I decide to come back, whenever that will be.
I’ve followed Warhammer since the dawn of code. My Beta account was created as one of the triple-digit ones, I’ve played through the first and second iteration of the UI, watched [...]

October 6, 2008

I’ve talked about this on end before, but figured I’d spend some more time comparing and contrasting changes to WoW since the early beta releases of Warhammer. Beginning with 2.3 or so, I noticed some changes to the game echoing ongoing Warhammer developments but couldn’t say much, Beta NDA and all that. Now, with Warhammer [...]

Norsca Tome Unlocks

October 5, 2008

Since leaving the Blighted Isle for Chrace I went and re-leveled the Marauder I’d played in the Beta. Here’s the unlocks I was able to find so far:

Cross-Server Scenario Queues and You

October 5, 2008

I really don’t agree with The Greenskin who likens cross-server realm queues to Socialism, in that the “weathier” or higher populated servers support its “poorer” or lesser populated cousins. But I do agree with him that it’s a bad idea to have them.
How, my friends? Let me count the ways…
