Class Headquarters

I have added a new feature to the Arsenal of WAR called the Class Headquarters.  Basically, instead of going directly to the weapon listing for a class, you will be taken to the Class HQ page first.  From there you can get to the item links and more.  What more you ask?

A different kind of war

As I mentioned yesterday, Civilization 5 has been going for a domination victory over my free time.  I have really been enjoying it, but that isn't surprise.  Civilization 1 was the first game I bought when I got my own computer (as opposed to a parents). So you could say I am a fan.

Mo' Medallions

I had a different post planned for today but Civ 5 happened.  I was just going to try it out for a few minutes and then get to work on today's WAR related post.  A few minutes in Civ time is actually a few hours.  As a result, today is a news post.

Two Years of WAR

This week Warhammer Online celebrates its second anniversary.  It's hard to believe that two years has gone by already.  When I was younger and in school, two years seemed to take forever.  Now it is gone in the blink of an eye.

Not a lot going on this week compared to the last few.  The biggest news was the good possibility of some kind of mobile siege weaponry in ORvR.  Who wouldn't like to strategically position a big cannon?  The Wild Hunt live event will be wrapping up soon, so get to work!

Mobile Siege Weapons

With the RvR Q&A thread winding down, Andy dropped a rather big surprise on us.  He didn't go into details, but sometimes a 'yes' is all we need to hear.  The challenge with Q&A's is that the right question needs to be asked.  So, what am I talking about?

News from the Front: Fear the Chickens

This week, WAR saw a bit of downtime due to ISP troubles and a new Hot-fix.  I didn't have much time to play because of RL happenings and work on the Arsenal of WAR.  I did get to group up with some guildies and take advantage of Against All Odds.  Some great fights were a result.  What has the rest of the WAR community been up to?
