Squigs: half-flesh, half-fungus, and all passion for correspondence! As the Pony Express delivered the mail across great barren distances in the wild, wild west, I too will attempt to bridge the enormous gap between Q and A (15 letters) with the aptly-named Squig express. Alex asks, "I’ve been trying to find out the level of difficulty the multitude of 6-man dungeons the Devs said they would have for rank 40 characters, and I’ve found a bit of info on that. However, I can’t seem to find…  More

Okay, answer me this -- months before the game is actually released, do we really need so many Warhammer Online wikis? Let's count 'em up so far: HammerWiki, MMO Wiki's Warhammer, Conflict Wiki, Warhammer Geek Wiki, and now WaaagHead is doing a wiki. And I'm pretty sure I've missed a couple more. It's like we're on some weird sort of reality TV show where contestants line up and say, "Hi, I'm Bob, and I have a wiki! I think it's going to be the wikiest wiki of them all!" and by episode three…  More

White Lion career - Okay, this was a surprise to nobody, as this has been the worst-kept secret for months now (so why did Mythic even try to hide it?). I think Order now has a new top favorite career (along with Witch Hunter), in an already popular racial choice (elves do pretty well, demographically, in other MMOs). It'll be cool to have a pet that grows alongside of you for the entire game, and pet class lovers (like yours truly) will appreciate the bond this creates. Then again, I hate ca…  More

Beta Ticker: 700.255 (+0 since last week)

Quote of the Week: "I would rather hear William Shatner and Roseanne Barr singing a duet while having my fingernails pulled out one by one while sitting in a pool of molten lava than have Mythic's own Official Forums for WAR. How's that for clarity?" ~ Mark Jacobs

Story of the Week: White Lion career confirmed. As little of a surprise as it ended up being, the cat is finally out of the bag (heh) on the last High Elf class and the final revealed clas…  More

Returning to the Order army, WAAAGH! examines the much-ballyhooed Witch Hunter career as our 24-part series continues. CAREER: Empire Witch Hunter BRIEF OVERVIEW: Merciless in their passion and efforts in hunting down Chaos scum wherever it hides, Witch Hunters are quick and lethal fighters who use multiple weapons in rendering their "judgments". THINK: A Puritan cross-bred with a Three Musketeer with a strong helping of the Spanish Inquisition. MOVIE CHARACTER: Judge Dredd -- judge, jury an…  More

One of the elder Warhammer Online sites, Warhammer Info's been spreading heresy far and wide -- and today, that will end! We've tied up Silex and asked him very pointed questions as he sits on a very pointed seat.

As the upcoming months start slamming into us like the seasonal typhoons they are, I can guarantee you one thing: we're going to be hearing a LOT more rhetoric about how Warhammer Online looks (and presumably plays) just like World of Warcraft. Recently, Tobold went so far to say that WAR will be more or less a new coat of paint over the same-old, same-old gameplay, which might indeed help with subscription numbers (since players familiar to WoW would apparently be comfortable in a familiar set…  More

1. Hoot loudly. Perhaps some appropriate -- and manly -- chest thumping as well. 2. Get permission from my job, my wife and myself to temporarily disconnect from the world of responsibility (WoR) for a period of no less than 24 hours, just so I can get drunk on that first dose of WAR. 3. Install. Perhaps blog about the installation, knowing that as I do so, no WAR player in the world will care or spare the time to read about a blog post on installing the game. Will that stop me? Read numbe…  More

I always like trying new things, like the other day when I purchased a self-heating cup of chicken noodle soup. So let's try something new with this blog and institute the Squig Express -- the time of the show where you get to ask questions, I try to answer them, and the Squig eats the postage. So ask away in our comments section! Remember: no question is too stupid, big, weird, obscure or slimy -- just make sure it's somehow related to this blog or WAR.  Next Saturday I'll take the best que…  More
