Possible F2P Announcement - Turned out not to be

in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Mythic have some announcement planned for today and i can't really see it being new content due to how small their team is nowadays, so there's a good chance it will be the Free 2 Play Announcement everyone has been waiting for. They've invited various bloggers about WAR to the Mythic offices and even some from the EU to join them via skype.


  • 30min presentation

  • 1hour Q&A

  • Another 30min presentation

If it is the F2P announcement then i can see WAR doing better than AoC with the model, even though i love both games.

    If WAR goes f2p I'm definitely playing.  I just hope they know what they're doing with the cash shop.

    "On July 6th you should keep an eye on those of us that blog about WAR. Things are happening.

    Don't get too excited, as I don't know if you should or not, but something interesting at least"

     

    Doesn't sound like it is going to earth shaking news which is what I would categorize the game going FTP.

    There been some buzz around that Bioware Mythic, especially the "Mythic" part of that company, would have something to reveal about Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning on July 6, which is tomorrow. Today that seems even more likely, as the developers have invited various Warhammer-bloggers to their offices tomorrow. It's not the first time Mythic brings bloggers to come look at stuff in the pipeline either. So let's all grab our chins and go "hmmmm."

    I dunno, if it wasn't something big why invite a bunch of WAR bloggers to their office?

    Personally I'm hoping they give Ewoks a new home now SWG is shutting down. Ewoks Vs Chaos. Epic!

    About a month ago I predicted this happening in July or August  in a thread I started . It would'nt suprise me one bit . I'm playing Warhammer at the moment on a 14 day welcome back offer . Its ok when theres enough players in t4 to get some RVR going .In 5 days I've only had one scenario pop up though .I think its a matter of adapt to survive for Warhammer now . Free to play would make this game a success .

    The involved bloggers have an NDA about the info they were given, so we're going to have to wait and see what it was.

    That is just silly...where some information could be given away though, but the big announchment could not be revealed yet. However it is not something as big as a new faction. Maybe they finially got around finishing the capital cities of the other races..who knows.

  • nyxiumnyxium Member UncommonPosts: 1,345

    So no announcement? Sucks. I'll keep watching the news sites.

  • ThelowThelow Member Posts: 149

    They will annouce new RvR pack (few extra RR's, YAY)  , wich will be released later this year. No way it will be something big such as F2P

  • WaizerWaizer Member Posts: 125

    f2p or a new faction would be the best news for the game.

    Both would get the populations up v fast and give the game a good shot at not just survival but be in a v healthy status.

    Ofc a new faction would be massive and tbh v unlikely, so here's hoping at least f2p is going to be the anouncement

  • ThelowThelow Member Posts: 149

    oh lol NDA, lets wait year before they can tell about it..

  • fallonfallonfallonfallon Member Posts: 99

    F2p would make my day ! WAR is my second favorite MMORPG ! fingers are crossed !

    Why is "turd" censored? Are we back in kindergarten?
