Da Newz is WAAAGH!'s weekly wrapup of WAR news bits and chunks.BETA TICKER: 644,508 (+20,120 from last week)
- Massively reports that WAR will have no dance emote.
- Only-WAR.com is another site that got an interview with Mark Jacobs about the WAR delay. I don't think I've ever seen a man give out so many interviews, so it's logical to assume he's a cyborg.
- "WAR's delay: from the fallout comes further details" from Massively. In short: WAR news and media will continue at a good pace, WAR is not afraid of WoW, and the CE head start will be more than just a day.
- New videos: Altdorf City and Dark Elves at GameSpy. High Elves and Altdorf City at IGN.
- IGN wrote up a piece on City Sieges. As the cities -- 9 in total -- will be the ultimate focus of the RvR conflict, this is of special interest to many people anticipating WAR. Cities are being approached a bit like RPG characters: they have five levels to progress through as players accomplish tasks for the city, which will change the face of the city and allow players to access new content. There will even be dungeons under the city to explore.
- GameSpy explored Chaos' Inevitable City to their glee. More discussion in here about the "leveling up" of a city, the RvR war waged between capital cities, and capturable keeps.
- GameSpy has its take on the Collector's Edition, and it's... pretty much the same as mine, only less swearing and rants against corporate greed in the Bahamas.
- Check out Eurogamer's interview with Jeff Hickman at the Paris event! VERY interesting quote about the release date: "I know the actual dates and it's not six months. Let's call it three to six months."
- Mark's said that not all of the servers will be available for the head start (and, apparently, they are planning on "lots" of servers).
- Open beta will begin this summer.
- Cool Greenskins wallpaper over at Warhammer Vault.
- GU Comics muses on class balance in WAR.
- Mark specified what he includes as autumn/fall in terms of the release date: "I posted earlier in the week that I consider the Fall between September 23rd - December 21st. So, if you're counting on August..."
- WarCry gets their interview in with Mark Jacobs about the delay. At this point, is there any need to keep touching on this subject? Is there any previously unhidden factoids that might come to the light? I don't think so.
- A couple of video interviews with Jeff Hickman in Paris, talking about WAR.
- Keen reports on a few tidbits of news coming from Paris: WAR might cost 14 Euros a month, and Mythic is estimating about 200-250 hours (8-10 days) /played to hit level 40 (the cap).
- Videogamer.com has a great "Hands On" article about WAR. "And so I beg Mythic to convince me to stop playing WoW and start playing WAR." Amen.
- Warhammer Vault's April Fool's: Warhammer's first expansion announced!
- April's High Elf calendar wallpaper at Warhammer Vault.
- Josh Drescher recaps the Paris Event, blog-style.
- Hexus.gaming interviews Mythic about PQs, social networking and other fun topics.
- WarCry got a nice hands-on experience at Paris, and you can read all about it here.
- The Greenskin is there for us with their weekly Forum Watch - check it out!
- Keen reports that Mark Jacobs expects over one million beta sign-ups before it's all said and done. Holy schnikey!
- Paul Barnett says that he's working on an audio "read along" for the art book in the CE, probably to be downloadable after the CE ships.
- "Chaos, Panic, Disorder: WAR CE Pre-Order Run-Down" at Massively.
- Warhamma #13 is out -- give it a good listen!
- "One Week Later: WAR Collector's Edition" at The Greenskin.
- New Secret Life of Mobs comic: "Relationship Trouble".
