Warhammer Online Looks At The Newbie Experience, and Patch 1.3.2

Posted by | October 12, 2009

Warhammer Online is a tough game to get into, largely because of its PVP focus, combined with a graying playerbase of max-level characters. There are precious few fellow low-levels for a new player to group with, and yet far more high-levels prowling the quest hubs for easy ganks.

Patch 1.3.2 aims to expand and enhance the newbie experience in ways that don’t involve a fireball to the face.

Warhammer OnlineIn more ways than one. The troubled, but wildly enthusiastic, MMORPG Warhammer Online is aiming for that extra 3% market share with a version for Macintosh computers.

Oh, sure, there are these vampires marching about, and skeletons rising from the grave, and various necromancers cackling in their crypts, but that’s nothing compared to what lies under the sands in the dry places. Ancient empires await in their tombs, and the Tomb Kings yet control their lands from beyond the shroud of death.

Oh, and there’s a trailer now. Check it out.

Mythic’s successful MMORPG slaughterfest Warhammer Online is ready to release its next content expansion, titled Beyond the Sands. That means you’ll get to meet the Tomb Kings, ancient undead with that spicy egyptian flavour. There will be realm stuff, dungeon stuff, and even the occasional fetch quest for those who aren’t max level! I’m sure they’ll appreciate it after being kicked out of the PvP game by their high-level betters.

The expansion does leave many questions to be answered, though, the first in my mind being when can I get behind the controls of a jackal-skulled skeleton warrior? Sadly, the answer to that is not in the latest Grab Bag of Q&A offered by Mythic about the expansion.
