Warhammer Online Unveils 'Unlimited' Free Trial
by Alice O'Connor, Nov 06, 2009 9:41am PSTWarhammer Online developer Mythic Entertainment has introduced an unlimited free trial for its fantasy MMORPG to replace the previous ten-day trial introduced in March.
Characters on trial accounts will be restricted by a level cap of ten and confined to two 'Empire vs. Chaos' zones--Nordland and Norsca--plus three instanced PvP scenarios and one dungeon, though they can of course play them for as long as they please.
Mythic recently merged into a "RPG/MMO studio group" with fellow EA subsidiary and Mass Effect developer BioWare. Mark Jacobs, co-founder and general manager of Mythic as well as lead designer on Warhammer Online, departed in the shuffle.
Comments
They nailed it with the game concept but failed technically to deliver a product that could compete with the polished WOTLK release 1 month later and the recent release of AION drove it into the grave. I know I have dropped my WAR sub twice now. I love the gameplay I just hate all the annoying buggy crap and over all lack of polish.
I would bet that if they made DAOC 2 it would have outlasted warhammer online. I am not even talking about a full new game just a revamped DAOC with updated graphics.
Now they can spam, get banned, start up another free account, rinse and repeat.
