After almost a week of post launch activities, it seems like the new kid on the MMOG block is here to stay. With Mark Jacobs proclaiming Warhammer Online as having the smoothest launch in MMO gaming history, it's easy to see that the WAR staff is excited about the future of their game. To really gather the info about everything post launch related, the Ten Ton Hammer staff sat down with WAR's Josh Drescher and Jeff Hickman to find out exactly what the team is working on and what sort of plans they have for the future.
Damien Richard writes: "Warlords is, in my opinion, one of the best new games to come to Facebook. Think of it like a medieval version of Mafia Wars, but with some serious improvements. In Warlords you build a squad and do quests. You can also battle other players or allies. As you level up, new races become available to play and new quest lines open up as well. Warlords is still in beta but already has a fair following. I expect that this game will grow very quickly. I look forward to seeing what kind of changes are made as the game progresses out of infancy.
...
The end result is that Warlords is fun. This is a great looking, addictive Facebook game even though it is still in beta. I can spend hours fighting and questing. Battling other Warlords is more challenging then battling players in other games. The choices you make in building your squad can make or break you. Some may find this frustrating, but I think Warlords will find a place in many more peoples Facebook bookmarks. It is already getting all kinds of attention and growing by tens of thousands of players every week. Personally, I will be continuing to play Warlords and I look forward to seeing exactly how far the developers can take this game."
You've seen the talking heads on CNN, BBC or Fox News, commenting on a speech or a debate. Today, with the release of the first Warhammer Online State of the Game from Mythic Entertainment's Mark Jacobs, MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood gives his running commentary along with the letter.
At the Origins 08 games fair Gaming Nexus got to talk with a representative from Mythic and ask some detailed questions about the game.
