Read the official press release.


We are thrilled to unveil the artwork for WAR’s North American packaging.

For our box art, we wanted to capture the epic potential of RvR and we believe that fantasy artist Daren Bader (http://www.darenbader.com/) really nailed it. This illustration depicts a massive battle between the armies of Order and Destruction outside the gates of Altdorf. Although the packaging focuses on the confrontation between a Warrior Priest of the Empire and a Chosen of Chaos, many of the game’s other careers can be found in the surrounding melee as seen in the full painting.

Our special thanks to Daren for creating an amazing work of art. Clearly inspired by 25 years of Warhammer imagery, this painting is a worthy addition to the Games Workshop gallery and a fantastic depiction of the Age of Reckoning.

Earlier this month, studio GM, Mark Jacobs, announced that EA Mythic was changing its name and is once again known as Mythic Entertainment. Here is an excerpt from his interview with MMORPG.com:

“We are going back to Mythic Entertainment,” said Mark Jacobs, the VP and General Manager of EA Mythic. “I’ve always been a believer of separate branding,” he continued, going on to cite a number of successful companies like Disney and GE that operate subsidiary companies under separate and distinct brands.

“I think that this is a wonderful example of how things at EA are changing,” he continued, “both John (Riccitiello, CEO of EA) and Frank (Gibeau, EA) have spoken multiple times about city states, more freedom, that sort of thing and I think this is an obvious example.”

While we are still an EA studio with the resources of the entire company at our disposal, we are reclaiming our identity as the studio that created Dark Age of Camelot™ and pioneered the Realm vs. Realm experience.


Three weeks ago, WAR returned to LA for E3 after skipping last year, and what a show we had! Mark, Jeff, Paul, Josh, Destin, Adam, and Bruce worked their tails off demoing the game and giving interviews. In the end, it all paid off as WAR walked away with numerous Best of Show Awards and some amazing coverage. Below is just a sampling of the stories from the show:

Join your friends in discovering whether or not the peasants’ outlandish claims of monstrous rats scurrying about the Altdorf Sewers are true, fight alongside your Realm’s bravest in facing murder incarnate at the Bastion Stair, or aid in the effort to rescue the Everqueen in the Lost Vale. These are just a few of the several dungeons in Warhammer Online for mid-to-high level players to enjoy.

Dungeons come in three varieties: Realm-instanced, group-instanced and warband-instanced. Survive the challenges and epic boss fights found inside to earn the most coveted of weapons, armors and loot.

Introducing Gunbad

Lurking in the far northwest of the Badlands, the fetid depths of Gunbad lie in wait for inquisitive adventurers such as you. Those brave (or foolish?) enough to enter its dank depths will discover a land quite unlike the surface worlds.

Once a Morkain place of power, for a thousand years Gunbad has been home to a strange breed of greenskin. The mushroom-crazed forces of the Night Goblins- furtive maniacs clad in black and flecked with spit- gibber and scurry in the darkness. Alone in the gloom, their unhinged minds have fashioned all manner of madness, from teetering Goblin cities to pulsating squigs of nightmarish proportions.

Now change has come to the timeless depths. The Age of Reckoning has forced the armies of Order and Destruction to plunge headlong into the reeking dark. The greenskins seek to break the unruly Night Goblins to their brutish will, beating their brains out until they see sense and join the Waaagh! The Dwarfs meanwhile have a more desperate mission. Gunbad is the sole source of brightstone- a key component of the mighty Doomstriker Weapons. They must claim this precious ore and destroy a potential ally to the WAAAGH. Still, the prospect of spattering goblin brains whilst underground has cheered more than one Oathbearer, despite the grim tales of the Night Goblin’s insane strength.

Gunbad Mechanics

Gunbad is an open world instanced dungeon. This means all Order players have access to one version of the dungeon, while all Destruction players have access to another.

Gunbad contains three themed wings, each with three PQs and an instanced wing boss. You’ll need to gain enough influence from the PQs to access the wing boss. You’ll also need to be in a group. As all the monsters in Gunbad are at least champion level, don’t expect to solo this Dungeon!

Gunbad is best suited to players between levels 22 and 30. Each wing has a different ideal level range so you can progress through the content in a natural manner. The West Wing is level 22-23, the East Wing is level 24-25 and the South Wing is for levels 26-29.

Once you’ve completed all the wings and taken down each of the wing bosses, you can face the final challenge of Gunbad: the mighty Squig Boss, Ard Ta Feed. Mutated by years of exposure to Morkain power (and the tainted flesh of mushroom gobbling Goblins) Ard Ta Feed is a two-headed nightmare of teeth, claws and vomit.

Multiple Quests will take you into Gunbad, as will the desire for some of the delicious items that can be gained from the PQs and bosses. There are also several unique titles to be unlocked and some hidden puzzles for explorers to collect.


Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the rumblings that the long-awaited Guild Beta has begun! Over 10,000 guilds applied, and those selected are now experiencing the game’s most expansive beta phase yet. Selected guilds have joined thousands of new testers as we enter this phase of beta. Guild members had the chance to test WAR’s recently added Guild and Heraldry features, as well as Public Quests, new dungeons, Scenarios, user interface updates and more including:

- All three pairings open through Tier 2
- Race-specific player mounts (yes, we said mounts!)
- A total of twenty careers including:

- The highly anticipated High Elf White Lion!
- The triumphant return of the Chaos Magus—
with a slew of new abilities!

Select testers were invited to join us for a special event: An all-out assault of the two Capital Cities! For the first time ever players engaged in the forsaken streets of The Inevitable City and the epic scenario of The Undercroft. The tides shifted and the forces of Order found themselves defending the last light of the empire as Destruction sat poised to bring the city down in ruin as they razed the last bulwark of Altdorf to the ground. Focusing on various areas of the game, our testers have been invaluable to us as we near launch. This phase of beta has been our most successful yet, and it’s only getting better as we move forward!

Beta Quotes from the players:

“I've been playing some classes that I haven’t played yet... guys, every class I play is GREAT FUN. I'm going to have a helluva time figuring out what will be my "main" when the game goes live.”
- Level 4 Archmage

“The High Elf architecture is amazing. The armor for my Swordmaster looks just like the tabletop version, which greatly helped with immersion.” - Level 21 Swordmaster

“I LOVE SCENARIOS! The fact that you can get exp. from doing them is huge. PVP in any MMO is what I and a lot of my friends play for!” - Level 8 Sorcerer

“My first public quest. I had no idea what I ran into beyond what I've read about public quests. I was able to join in immediately, got an idea of what I was supposed to be doing, and followed it along. Was amazingly fun.” - Level 3 Swordmaster

“I absolutely love the terrain in this scenario. The use of strategic knockbacks can be very deadly with the terrain.”
- Level 21 Chosen

Episode 7: Howling Gorge and Gromril Crossing
by Brian Wheeler, Lead RvR Design

In this episode of Scenarios 101 we continue with Greenskin vs. Dwarf Scenarios that can be found in Tier 4. Howling Gorge features a bomb run, or WAR football as tagged by the beta testers. Gromril Crossing features a tug-of-war mechanic between capture locations on the map.

Rune Priest

Dwarf runes bind and hold magic, solidifying and stabilizing the power through the knowledge and craftsmanship practiced by Rune Priests through the centuries. A skilled Rune Priest can tap into this rune-etched power to call forth all manner of spectacular effects, from restoring life to his allies to calling down wrath and doom upon his foes. Dwarf runes are repositories of raw power, harnessed to a specific purpose by generations of skilled and focused runecarvers. A Rune Priest is adept at not only invoking these runic powers, but also at engraving runes on his allies' equipment, granting them abilities far beyond their normal grasp. A true master Rune Priest can even call forth the power of mighty Master Runes, carving them into the very earth itself as an anchor for their tremendous energies.

Rune Priest Career Masteries

Path Of Grungni
A master of this path focuses on powerful and direct effects, learning to both restore his allies and smite his enemies with equal skill. The path of Grungni is for those who prefer to focus on a single target at a time, be they friend or foe, and unleash powerful effects upon them.

Path Of Valaya
An arguably more subtle mastery, the path of Valaya is focused on effects which continue to linger after they've been invoked. A master of this path prefers to stick to tested, tried, and true slow-and-steady abilities, whether he's building up his allies' strength until they become unstoppable, or whether he's grinding his enemies down with inevitable and unescapable doom.

Path Of Grimnir
This path is concerned with runes which affect large, sweeping areas as they unleash their innate power. A specialist in this path is an expert at changing the ebb and tide of combat by either bolstering his allies' entire front line, or by sending vast swaths of crushing power across the enemy masses.

Squig Herder

Goblins aren't exactly known for their fortitude or strength, so the clever Squig Herder uses a pack of squigs to do the hard work for him while he stands safely away and unleashes a rain of deadly arrows. Through a combination of poking, prodding, yelling, and throwing raw meat, a Squig Herder has managed to...well...not exactly "tame" a pack of squigs, but certainly get them to at least run when he stabs them. The Squig Herder has the means to deal with any combat situation through the wide array of squigs at his disposal - and sometimes, they are quite literally at his disposal, as his pets have an unsettling habit of being eaten or exploding.

Squig Herder Career Masteries

Path of Big Shootin'
A specialist in this path is more than happy to stand far, far back from the fight and let his squig pets distract the enemies while he peppers them with arrows from a safe distance. Those who dismiss Goblins for their small stature quickly learn not to underestimate the Squig Herder's powerful bow and keen aim, and many an enemy's final dying thought has been that perhaps they should've paid more attention to the Goblin than the squig.

Path of Quick Shootin'
A clever master of this path uses the Goblins' inherent tendancies towards twitching and running in his favor, and has learned to quickly snap off bow shots while moving.around. While he pays for this mobility at the cost of range, as he can't shoot as far without taking the time to stop and brace his bow, the speed and flexibility that he gains ensures that he can always stay out of harm's reach.

Path of Stabbin'
Some goblins are simply more bloodthirsty than others, and a master of this path prefers to use his bow simply as a means to weaken and hinder his enemy, allowing him to move in and dispatch them quickly with his crude yet brutal spear. Fighting side-by-side with his squig pets, the Squig Herder who selects this path is always gleeful to find himself in the middle of a messy fight.

Mark Jacobs’ recent announcement regarding capital cities has spawned quite a few questions, so we sat down with our RvR Team Lead, Jeff Skalski, to get more details. Jeff explains in detail how the RvR campaign now works, with the addition of six massive fortresses that serve as gateways to the capital cities of Order and Destruction. This is more involved than you may have thought, so listen closely.

"My hope for the game is that we create something that is a lot of fun to play, that brings people together, which provides a world to escape to from our own hectic lives from time to time."

Developer Profile >>

"My ultimate hope is that when folks sit down and play the Elf pairing, either as a Dark Elf or as a High Elf, that the island of Ulthuan comes to life for them, and that the cultures of the two opposing factions, locked in a civil war that has lasted thousands of years, are as real as any in our own world."
