Warhammer Online Unveils 'Unlimited' Free Trial

by Alice O'Connor, Nov 06, 2009 9:41am PST

Warhammer 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.

    Mail and auction access aren't the largest (visible) problems, it's the zone chat/tell spam that bugs the shit out of most people. Basically this is just going to irritate what real users they still have. For moving stuff around they have established, paying accounts.
