Warhammer Online Newsletter – May 2010
by Shals on June 1st, 2010Well, I was going to give a brief summary of the newsletter then link to the actual one on their website but looking at their newsletter archive page the latest entry is from February 2010. So I guess I’ll try to copy and paste the newsletter email here! (Looks like it worked okay, aside from the images with background colors.)
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the first Producer’s Letter in a post-1.3.5 universe! I hope everyone is enjoying the version and the new city changes as much as we are. While you get your city on, I want to take a minute to thank all the players who came out and supported the Public Testing in the past month. We held 14 different public test events–from the exclusive guild closed tests to the stability test, to the European and North American open tests. At each test we had Mythic and GOA employees, participating, taking notes, and gathering feedback. And from that player feedback, we have put weeks of polish, tweaks, features, and fixes into the cities.

by Shals on May 3rd, 2010Warhammer Online released an April 2010 Producer’s Letter the other day. Original letter can be seen here. Here’s the first paragraph from the letter:
Hello all,
It’s been a very busy month, so busy the time has just flown by. These days, everyone around here is eating, breathing and sleeping 1.3.5. For that reason, in this particular newsletter, I’m going to focus on version 1.3.5 and some of the recent community activity. I know that many like to skip ahead to read teasers of the distant future but , for this letter, I want to focus on the present, because I think the excitement right now is really around the short term future and 1.3.5.
On a side note, get a load of these stein’s! They look nice but there is no way I’d pay that kind of cash for one.

by Shals on December 5th, 2008From Warhammer Herald (source): The Public Test Server is coming soon, so in the meantime we wanted to provide you with instructions on how you can get onto the server as well as how to copy your characters and jump right into testing.
The purpose of the Public Test Server (PTS) is for the players to help us refine and test the latest version of the game by experiencing the changes firsthand and providing feedback and bug reports to Mythic. As such, we want to remind you that the content introduced to this server is still considered “in development”, and that bugs and issues not found on the LIVE server may occur on the PTS. All features and fixes listed below are subject to change until we release Game Update 1.1.0 to all live servers.
When leaving Feedback or Bug Reports we encourage you to provide details on why you feel the way you do or why you think something needs to be fixed. It’s also important to note that when you submit a Bug Report, it automatically records your location in game so be sure to submit them at the location where you experienced them when you can!

Posted in Warhammer | Comments OffServer Update – All Servers
by Shals on December 5th, 2008From Warhammer Herald (source): We’ve been hard at work finding ways to enhance your experience in Open RvR. Patch 1.1 has a lot of great changes in the works; to compliment them we’re introduction several changes that we hope will reduce the amount of crashing experienced during massive assaults. This is our first step to improve your performance during large scale battles and make Open RvR and Fortress raids even more exciting!
Dark Crag was the first to experience this change as the forces of Order and Destruction clashed in a mighty battle of over four hundred players during prime-time last night! We’re excited to bring these changes to everyone today and look forward to seeing your feedback. Please let us know what you think!
