WAR Community Poll - When did you start playing WAR? Monday marks the beginning of another week and another poll by WA and the Vault. As you tell us when you began to slaughter your enemies, let yourself reminisce of the first time you heard the cries of "WAAAGH!" across the battlefield. Ah, sweet memories.

Character Transfer Issues - 2/7/2010. Sorry everyone, but character transfers have been taken down again. Mythic is trying to figure out what's causing the problem with the service, and they are unsure of when we can expect to have transfers back up and running.

One Shots: Let me stand next to your fire. Massively.com posted another WAR screenshot yesterday from Yavvy. As hinted at in the title, the Bright Wizard College is the focus and it sure looks pretty cool.

Testpig's 2010 Warhammer Online Feedback. Also posted yesterday (better late than never folks!) was a video podcast by Testpig where he listed what parts of WAR he believes should be changed. Aside from the funny pictures, he included the nature of bind on pickup, Tier 4 BFOs, epic content, the status of forts, current endgame content and sieges.

1.3.4: Response to Player Feedback. You all have been giving awesome amounts of feedback over the past several days, and Mythic has been listening. They have decided to take their current plan for scenarios in 1.3.4 back to the drawing board. Mythic still plans on removing some of the scenarios, but they're taking what you've said into consideration and will be letting us know more next week. So, keep your eyes on the Herald and give yourself a pat on the back.

Warhammer Online Review. MacLife.com posted a review of WAR today, and although they incorrectly stated races have only three career options, they ultimately said Mac users should check it out! They listed gameplay and graphics as some of the pros, but cited skewed populations and crafting as some of the drawbacks.

Andy Belford. There is currently an outage that is affecting access to the game patcher and the Herald, as well as other parts of the Web site. Mythic is quickly working on getting things up and running again.
UPDATE 5: Everything is back online, folks. Let the WAAAGHING begin!!

Character Transfer Issues - 2/2/2010. The problem has been fixed, and transfers are now available. Yahoo!

In Development: Weekend Scenario Events and Player Feedback Request on Proposed Changes. Mythic wants your feedback on the alterations to the scenarios. Head on over to the official forums to let them know if there's a scenario you would like added to the active list, or if there is one you would like taken away.
