For an onslaught of information about what Wrath of Heroes has to offer, follow the link!
This State of the Game however is not to tout this new exciting offering but rather to be a champion of WAR by concentrating on what this announcement means for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. When people hear about this new project, the natural thought is going to be, “What does this mean for WAR?”
The short answer is, “The WAR wages on!”
The longer, more informative, and invariably the answer you want to hear is that we are continuing to develop and support WAR and our dedication to the fans and subscribers for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is ongoing. We have maintained our healthy patch schedule, increased communication with the customer base, and have plans laid out for the year. None of these are affected by the demands of the new kid on the block.
“Sure,” you might say, “But doesn’t More >
