New patch notes
I note that the Summer Festival is being fixed. The Summer Festival ended Monday. So if you already bought the music boxes, you can now find out what they sound like. If you already bought the festival horse, you get the updated graphics (so we hope you like that more). If you already completed the Inn League quests, you get the reputation bonus. And if not, better luck next year!
On a more positive note, assuming the bug fixes work, those are good things. It will be nice not to have Helchgam break every day. The Weavers’ day will come.

Update! I can now get through the door requiring Friend reputation with the Inn League. There is a decorative room behind it where NPCs have lines about how great drinking and smoking are. The taxidermist/barter vendors were removed, so the only NPC to interact with is a barmaid that sells booze on the cheap. So if you need to get drunk quickly and cheaply, and don’t have access to a keg housing decoration, there you go.
I’m really getting a kick out of reading all the reviews for Warhammer Online. People hate it, people love it. It’s funny. There has not been any real change in the MMO industry since Day 1 and yet still people expect each game to be the one to change it all. These are games. If they are fun, play them. If not, don’t. Why get your panties in a bunch because there is a new game available? Check it out if you want.

Oh yeah. He looks happy to be sporting those.

Oh, my poor search results!
Good stuff. Blizzard and Mythic have some amazing cinematic artists.
Someday, the game they are promoting will be something like it. But that day is not this day.

There will never be a “WoW Killer” simply because WoW itself was unable to kill any of the big MMOs in existence when it launched. If big bad WoW couldn’t kill when it launched, why would we think something new would be able to kill WoW? And why do we want to kill WoW anyway? I like to have options.

I mean, that’s a big turtle, probably 4-5 feet tall at the top of its shell, but why can it send me flying >10 meters? I think it did that with a headbutt. Even for a game where you can resurrect the dead by smoking, that’s a little odd.
It did, however, lead to one of my most awesome little moments in-game. The turtle bashed me into a rock, I richoceted off, and cut him down with my axe before landing. That’ll teach you to toss a dwarf!

I’m not interested in writing a bunch of stuff that will likely be covered by several other sites so instead I’m just going to write a little about the impressions I got from playing in the Warhammer Online beta.
First off, the game was not nearly as polished as I had hoped. It had plenty of weird bugs and glitches including the “crash to desktop”. It was not unusual to attack something and watch it run around trying to find a path to you. Messages appeared on the screen telling you that you are out of range of something even though it is standing in front of you. Many of the classes really did nothing for me at first glance. I almost felt like I had to choose the class that was the least boring. The level of graphics was restricted to a level that made it hard to enjoy at times. So all in all, it was not the perfect game ready to take the world by storm.

Warhammer Alliance is hosting a copy of the player’s guide (in pdf format) that you get with the beta client. It is not totally up to date but if you hunger for more information, check it out.
