Warhammer Online Shutting Down
Mythic Entertainment has announced that Warhammer Online will shut down this December. According to an update on the official website, it appears that Games Workshop has not renewed Mythic’s license, and as a result the game will no longer be able to operate.
We here at Mythic have built an amazing relationship working with Games Workshop creating and running Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning over the last 8 years. Unfortunately, as with all licensing deals they do eventually come to end and on December 18th, 2013 we will no longer be operating Warhammer Online.
Warhammer Online launched in 2008 and while the game shattered pre-purchase records, it very quickly lost a majority of its subscribers and almost all of its over one hundred servers. The next couple of years were filled with more layoffs and more server closures as development on the game dwindled down to maintenance mode with a bare bones team. Eventually Mythic revealed that there was no chance for Warhammer to become free to play, as EA believed the product to be incapable of making back the money it would cost to make the transition.
For many of Warhammer Online’s past and current players, this announcement has been a long time coming.

No, Wait, There Is A Warhammer 40k MMO Coming
This is the end, hold your breath and count to ten. As we here at MMO Fallout await the verdict of our trials for heresy (protip: we will be found guilty) due to a lack of faith in the completion of a Warhammer 40k MMO, you will be happy (and surprised) to hear that the Warhammer 40k MMO is indeed coming out. In development by Behaviour Interactive is taking the reigns with Eternal Crusdae and will throw players on a persistent battle to conquer a planet, rifling through procedural content in a third person shooter as one of four factions (Space Marine, Chaos Space Marine, Ork, and Eldar).
Behaviour Interactive is responsible for a massive line of movie tie-in video games, ranging from Brave, Ice Age, Rango, and more. The company’s latest title was Doritos Crash Course 2, the long awaited sequel to the original Doritos Crash Course.

Video Of The ____: Warhammer Under Climax
This trailer is from the Climax version of Warhammer Online, in development before Games Workshop pulled funding over disagreements over art and design.
Games Workshop Doesn’t Care About WAR People
One important point I need to get out of the way first:
-Games Workshop is the creator of the Warhammer world used in the Warhammer tabletop games, pen-and-paper games, and video games.
-EA/Mythic are the creators of Warhammer Online, the MMO.
-Curse/Warhammer Alliance is not a fansite. Mere fansites do not make 3 million in revenue in a year, have a board of directors, or have investors.
In a perfect world, Mythic would be going under scrutiny for their own actions, and the lawsuits brought forth by Games Workshop would not have much of an impact on them, if any at all. Sadly, we do not live in a perfect world, and the end result is Mythic is being barraged for a lawsuit brought by Games Workshop against Warhammer Alliance. Games Workshop is currently suing Curse over Warhammer Alliance’s alleged infringement of GW’s trademark on “Warhammer Alliance.” Alongside trademark infringement, Games Workshop is also suing for cybersquatting, dilution, and unfair competition.
I didn’t make this an “In Plain English” article, because this doesn’t, and shouldn’t, include Warhammer Online. More importantly, this lawsuit does not involve Warhammer Online or Mythic Entertainment. Currently there are far too many reactionary posts by people blaming Mythic for this lawsuit, calling it an act of desperation among other things.
“Failing game seeks money anyway it can get it. Anyone can sue anyone for anything nowadays. It’s really sad.”

“I actually subscribe occasionally to Warhammer Online just to show my support. This will end that…”
Duulin @ Massively
So just to get this straightened out once and for all: Mythic has NOTHING to do with the lawsuit.
