WAR: Facebook Update, And First Impression Thoughts…


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 the move to Jagex having a poll to bring back the wilderness, but then starting work on development before the poll had even finished, because they knew what the outcome would be, and simply wanted some free press.

Well, as of Monday, the Warhammer Facebook page has hit five thousand likes, and the price for the RvR Booster pack has dropped to $9.99. All in all, slightly over a month.

On another Warhammer Online note, I have a big stick to raise with the team at Mythic. Perhaps you should consider making the Herald the home page for Warhammeronline.com. When I go to your website, the first thing I see is a news section, with the latest news being “Return to War” and “Patch 1.3.1,” from September 1st and August 31st of last year, respectively.

That’s just my morning two cents on the matter. It’s a small aesthetic change, but in a world where Warhammer’s active status is constantly in question, every little bit helps.
