Greetings,My name is Kai Schober, also known as Sterntaler to some of the European players, and I am happy to restart an old job in a new environment so to speak. 

I started as a German Community Manager for Dark Age of Camelot in 2002 shortly after the European release – at that time in Paris working for GOA, the former French distributor for Europe. In that position I have been around through all expansions – from Shrouded Isles to Labyrinth of the Minotaur –helping, playing, doing events, or presenting the game to the players and the media at conventions and other occasions.When GOA prepared to launch of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning in 2007, I moved to Dublin and there became Head of Community Management to coordinate the European communication along with Mythic.  At the end of 2009 as a result of the downsizing of GOA I took a timeout from the gaming world and spent one year in Gibraltar as a community team leader for a poker school. By a rather spontaneous idea that came up late last year I am now given the opportunity to work directly for Mythic.  Now I’ve spent the last few days trying to get More >

Greetings,As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain an active, competitive, and engaging experience in WAR we have decided to open free transfers for players to specific servers. WAR, more than many games, only gets better with more people. These transfers will enable players to experience more action during all hours whether fighting in scenarios or Open RvR.To make this process easier we have provided specific details concerning these new transfer options below, please read and follow any instructions carefully. We are currently targeting next week to enable the transfers, for now please use this time to organize yourself and your friends to ensure a smooth transition to your new home.

North American Servers:For players on the North America Servers, we are opening up the following free transfer options:Iron Rock -> GorfangVolkmar -> GorfangTo facilitate this we will be enabling the multi-realm ability for Gorfang.  This allows accounts to have both Order and Destruction characters on the server and increases the character limit to 20.  There will be an 8 hour lockout when switching realms on the server.This option will be available as of 02/09/11.  At that time will we also mark ‘Iron Rock’ and ‘Volkmar’ as Legacy servers to prevent More >

It’s a brand New Year! For many, this is a chance to reflect, for others a time to look ahead. Some make resolutions. Sometimes they stick to them, sometimes they don’t. Regardless of your personal view of the New Year and what it brings, it marks a time for change.

This month’s Producer Letter is being brought to you by James Casey. James has been a Producer on the project for some time and has run a number of WAR initiatives (New User Journey, Endless Trial, Verminous Horde, etc.) in tandem with Carrie. Carrie is still working on WAR, but is looking at a different aspect of the game. This new focus will be revealed in due time.

In setting up this year, we took a look at what we accomplished last year and what remained on our ‘to-do’ or wish lists. These are gathered internally and from feedback that we gather all year long. We then plotted those out with our normal patch cycle in mind.

The actual numbered patches for this year (1.4.1, 1.4.2 …) will follow a similar cadence to last year. Our first patch for the year (1.4.1) will be a smaller version dedicated to bug fixes and a More >
