Warhammer Online Regains Cut Classes Soon

Two of the classes cut from Warhammer Online prior to the PC MMO's release will be added in a major patch due out this December, developer Mythic has revealed.

Patch 1.1 will bring the Black Guard and Knight of the Blazing Sun classes along with free server transfers for over- and under-populated servers, "major additions to the chat system (item linking and more), as well as continued work on our targeting system," which includes the addition of Main Assist and Target of Target.

The title's RvR play will be revised as well--improved gear drops, increased drop rates, an RvR-influence system and "more incentive to engage in open RvR"--with other tweaks including 14 new quest chains, two new Lairs, more Tome of Knowledge unlocks, and changes to the nearly all of the game's careers.

"Almost every career is going to see some changes and love coming their way," Mythic VP Mark Jacobs explained in the first State of the Game letter. "There are very, very few changes that will be seen as reductions to a career's abilities."
