Happy July Everyone!

Even though it’s the lazy days of summer, things are quite busy around the studio.  The coming months promise to be very exciting and to kick things off Stuart Zissu (Producer, Dark Age of Camelot), Andy Belford, and myself will be making our way across the pond to GamesCom: Cologne. While in Germany we’ll be talking about the future of WAR and DAoC so be sure to stay tuned for coverage from the event, which takes place between August 18th and August 22nd. While in Cologne, we’ll be looking to get together and meet up with the players, so watch for updates on the Forums, the Herald and Twitter (http://twitter.com/WARHerald) for where to hang out with us on the road!

We’ll be waging WAR on two fronts in August as we make our annual trip to Games Day: Baltimore! Join James Nichols, James Casey, Nate Levy and more members of the WAR development team for a special presentation and live Question & Answer session at Games Workshop’s annual celebration of all things Warhammer! Games Day Baltimore is coming your way Saturday, August 21st.

Come one, come all to the Warpstone Public Test Server for tonight’s Stability Test at 8:00 PM EDT/02:00 CET!

Join the BioWare Mythic Development team as we put Game Update 1.3.6 through our regularly scheduled Stability Test by throwing mass amount of players (and Stability Bots!) at some ORvR Keeps…but this time with a twist!

Two WAR Developers are being held by the forces of Order and Destruction in opposite keeps in one RvR Lake…it’s your mission to rescue the Developer and escort them safely back to your Keep before your enemy can do the same!

Be sure to join us for all the fun during the test!

Also, join the BioWare Mythic Development team on the official BioWare Mythic Ventrilo server for a Dev Q&A Session starting at 4:00 PM EDT/22:00 CET. We’ll be there answering your questions, so be sure to log in promptly, as space is very limited.

We’ll see you on the PTS!

Greetings!

As previously announced last week WAR is joining the BioWare Social Network. Within the next 24 hours we will transition the Official WAR Forums from their current location to their new home.

Once all services are online and the new forums are available to players we will post instructions here on the Herald, but don’t worry – you won’t need to be a rocket scientist!

Stay tuned,- The BioWare Mythic Community Team

Warhammer Online players who want a preview of things to come will want to log into the public test server (PTS). There are several significant changes coming in the next patch including:

• Fashion visibility: Players will be able to toggle which clothing items show and which should be considered 'equipped' for stats. No need to sacrifice looking good for maximum protection.
• Sovereign Armor sets have been redesigned and Split armor sets have been introduced. Each career will have multiple armor options available.
• Scaling bonus, Against All Odds, introduced. This is implemented when one's realm is outnumbered.

Of course a PTS phase wouldn’t be complete without our signature developer lead focused tests and Q&A sessions! Join the WAR Development team, Friday, July  30th at 4:00 PM EDT/22:00 CET, for a Q&A session to be followed up by our normal PTS Stability test (with a special twist!) at 8:00 PM EDT/02:00 CET.

We’ll be doing it one more time on Friday, August 6th at 8:00 PM EDT/02:00 CET as we take to the RvR Lakes to test out the all new “Against All Odds” system with a Developer Q&A following the test.  

Read the full patch note on the official site.
