Back in March, I mentioned a Warhammer Online campaign on Facebook with simple terms: Once the WAR Facebook profile hit five thousand likes, the price of the RvR Booster Double Pack would be dropped (permanently) to $9.99. At the time, if my memory servers correctly, Warhammer carried around fourteen hundred (1,400) likes. I also compared [...]

Warhammer: All We Need Is Five Thousand Fans…
March 7th, 2011 
Omali The folks at Warhammer Online have a simple task for their fans. Get five thousand “likes” on Facebook, and the company will reduce the RvR Booster Double Pack down to $9.99 from its original $14.99 price. To my knowledge, there is no time limit on this promotion, although I have to express my doubts that [...]
Look At That: Warhammer Merging Servers…
February 4th, 2011 Omali Less than a week ago, I told players to expect more Warhammer servers to be merged and shut down this year, and although I was right on the mark, I honestly expected Mythic to spend more time “discussing” what to do about the server population issue than this. In the latest Herald news article, Mythic’s [...]
Expect More Warhammer Server Mergers This Year
January 30th, 2011 Omali Ever since Warhammer Online went free to play, people like myself have been clamoring for Mythic to go full Turbine and just open the game up with a cash shop. Mythic, at least historically, has denied any plans to change Warhammer’s model, but has given side remarks about what they would have to do if [...]
Warhammer Online: Buy A Level!
November 4th, 2010 Omali Last month Mythic Entertainment’s own Carrie Gouskos made it quite clear that Warhammer Online is not going free to play…for now. In the interview with Ten Ton Hammer, she talked about the danger of monetizing power in a title that focuses so heavily on player vs player. There was that part at the end of [...]
Warhammer Online: Not Going F2P
October 6th, 2010 Omali Join any internet discussion on Warhammer Online, outside of the realm of Warhammer Online’s forums, and odds are someone will eventually ask “when is Warhammer Online going free to play?” or something of the like. Despite Mythic’s claims that Warhammer Online is still profitable, there has been a vocal push to the game expanding the [...]
Direct2Drive Sales Continue!
September 11th, 2010 Omali I wanted to bump this up to the top again so people can once again see the ongoing sale on Direct2Drive regarding MMOs. For the sake of space, I’ve moved previous month’s updates to the bottom of the page. [9/2]: Removed Alganon, as the game no longer has a client to purchase. [9/2]: Removed Fallen [...]
Looking Back, Moving Forward: August 2010
August 31st, 2010 Omali Video of the month. There is no doubt that All Points Bulletin stole the show this past month, showing up on MMO Fallout at least once every three days heading towards the middle of the month onward. Although Realtime Worlds announced APB carrying 130,000 active players, I have to question how many of those players [...]
WAR’s Auction House Becoming WAR Flea Market
August 13th, 2010 Omali File this one under “how is this in improvement?” I don’t normally talk about game’s individual updates, but the upcoming patch to Warhammer Online, 1.3.6, is revamping the UI of the auction house to better fit the searching needs of the game’s players. As a result of this upgrade, all auctions are standardized to 48 [...]
Warhammer Online Is Still Profitable, Says Mythic
August 4th, 2010 Omali When Warhammer Online launched in 2008, the game peaked at about eight hundred thousand subscribers, before plummeting over the course of the next two months to little over three hundred thousand. Over the course of the first year, WAR lost over three quarters of its population, as well as a grand majority of its over-one-hundred [...]
