Warhammer Online: Select Server Maintenance
Mar 9th
Update 1.45pm EST – The retired servers are currently undergoing an extended maintenance. During that time, players may still transfer their characters from the server via the account center.
As of today, the following servers are being set to ’retired’ status: Volkmar, Iron Rock, and Carroburg. This will prevent players from logging in to those servers. Any remaining characters on this server can be transferred via the Mythic Account Center via free or paid transfers.
This process will take 4 hours, starting from 9.00am 9th March.
As always, thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: March Producer’s Letter
Mar 2nd
The Warhammer Herald has been updated with the March Producer's Letter from James Casey. Casey starts by encouraging WAR players to check in on the official forums as the dev team has been more visible and vocal with the community. From there, Casey discusses smaller tweaks and the planning of the next Live Event.
As promised in the previous Producer Letter, I want to also hit upon some stuff we have in the works. When we started work on the Verminous Horde, we had a number of thoughts and initiatives that were in the works. We opted to move one or two of these from being tied into that patch and instead concentrate on them after the booster was out and make them free features. One of these features is the addition of new options for crafting. Conceived as ‘advanced crafting’, it will build upon that foundation, but with new and exciting options. The idea behind it is to introduce new mechanics and flesh out the offerings available via player crafting. As we get closer to testing and launch, we’ll give more information and start discussions in the afore-mentioned forums.

Warhammer Online: February Producer’s Letter
Mar 2nd
Greetings,
With Night of Murder winded down and people no longer marked for death, we can look forward towards Spring and the promise it holds.
First of all though I’d like to take time to encourage people to check out the forums here. We’ve been trying to increase the communication in there and encourage open discussion, notably in the Developers Corner. A few of them were directly related to patch 1.4.1 and revolved around the Renown Cap and armor set progression. As well, we’ve started some hypothetical threads – one about a new scenario type with waves of NPC spawns; the second about the campaign and possible changes you want to see. With 1.4.1 just out the door, a feedback post about the new scenario lineup has been started so we can gather feedback to tailor the lineup further in subsequent patches. The idea is to change them up more often (every few months) so that the action will stay fresh.
With our first patch of the year (1.4.1) wrapped up, we were able to squeeze in nice things and make adjustments to the game and how players will advance through the game. This includes tweaks to our Renown Rank caps, rearrangement of the armor More >

Warhammer Online: Version 1.4.1 – 03/01/2011
Feb 28th
Greetings!
We will be bringing all North American and European servers offline tomorrow, March 1st 2011, at 7:30 AM EST (13:30 CET) for the deployment of Game Update 1.4.1. At this time we anticipate that all servers will be back online no later than 1:00 PM EST (19:00 CET).
Highlights of 1.4.1 include:
Claim WindowWith the popularity of account entitlements, we‘ve decided to improve the in-game delivery method of items associated with said entitlements. Whether you have the plethora of items that came with the Collector’s edition or an adorable vanity pet, we wanted to make it easier to claim your items! What this means is that item delivery for new characters or purchases will no longer go through in-game email. Instead a new Claim Window interface has been added that can be accessed via /claim or via the Account Entitlements button on the Main Menu. All of your items will be accessible in this new window and can be claimed at any time. No more expiring emails!
Armor Set ChangesThe Renown Rank and level requirements for several item sets have been reduced to allow players to use them sooner in their careers. With the new ranks for the above sets, a new armor More >

Warhammer Online: Issues with Guild Transfers?
Feb 11th
Greetings,
In case you weren’t aware of the correct procedure how to transfer a guild (which is described in our previous post), we offer this guide to facilitate your appeal.
Please follow these instructions if you did NOT run the /transferguild command before transferring your guild leader character.
- Immediately file an appeal with In-Game Support from the character that was the guild leader on your old server with the following basic information:
-Former server name-Former server guild name-Former server guild leader name (this is especially important if you had to change the character’s name during the transfer process)-The date that you transferred your character-Have you formed a new guild yet on your new server? If so, what is the name of the new guild?-Specify that you neglected to run the command and that is why you are appealing for a manual transfer.-Categorize your appeal as a ’Guild Issue.’
- The above information will greatly expedite the turnaround time in the processing of your manual transfer request. Also, please be advised that ONLY the character who was the guild leader can file this appeal; we are unable to assist or address this issue in a third party manner. Please advise your guild members not to appeal More >
Warhammer Online: How to Transfer a Guild
Feb 10th
Greetings,
We received some questions about guild transfers and would like to give you a reminder how to transfer a guild. This can be found in our transfer faq, too.
Guild Leaders – PLEASE READ!
You must follow the below instructions before transferring your character that is the Guild Leader. Otherwise your guild will be leaderless and no one can issue the command until the Auto Promote system kicks in 30+ days later.
Using /TransferGuild
All current guild members including you will be removed from the guild and the guild will be deleted. All claimed keeps, calendar events, and guild vault contents will be deleted. Your guild Rank and guild Renown will be saved to this character, and the next guild you create on your new server with this character will be created with the saved guild rank and renown. All previous guild settings will be reset, and you will be able to choose a new guild name, guild tactics, and guild heraldry.
Please be sure to move any items or coin that you do not wish to be deleted out of the guild vault and into your or another character’s bags before confirming the guild transfer in game.
