Warhammer Online

Mythic Studio's MMO Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning has gone free-to-play as its inevitable shutdown looms on the horizon. This offer is extended to players who had accounts in good standing as of October 31, 2013. Mythic also has plans to place NPCs in the world in order to get returning players "powered up" so that they can experience all the activities that are planned as a celebration of the game's lifespan.

Early this afternoon Mythic Entertainment announced that it would be closing the doors of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning in a mere three months.

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. As such we will no longer be selling 3 month game time codes or have the ability to auto renew your accounts for 3 months as of September 18th, 2013. If you would like to read some additional thoughts from one of WAR’s Producer please check out http://www.warhammeronline.com/.  From all of us here at Mythic we thank you again for your dedication and support over the last five years.

If you have any questions please feel free contact us via email at support@warhammeronline.com.

A more detailed notice of shutdown is also available to read on the Warhammer site.

It's a sad day for Warhammer fans, particularly those who have been playing Wrath of Heroes. Come March 29th, Mythic Entertainment will be shutting down the game for good.

Tooltips! New tooltips for all! We've just released a major tooltip update for our database tooltips! ZAM tooltips should now load more quickly, attach to the mouse more smoothly, attach to icons where appropriate, and should reposition themselves when near the edge of the screen. There are also new options for users adding our tooltips to their site, including the ability to add coloring or icons to links, or even rename their links.

Find out how you can add / modify these tooltips on your site by heading over to our tooltips wiki page! You can also see what changes we made on our tooltip feedback forum topic.

In spite of Warhammer Online's scrappy nature, this MMO is slowly being whittled down by time and competition, as Mythic just "retired" two more Warhammer Online servers: Gorfang and Karak-Azgal. Both servers will be brought completely offline as of today, and players will need to transfer any of their remaining characters via the Mythic Account Center.

Good luck in your new homes, evicted Warhammer-ers!
