Warhammer Online: A Call to Arms
Mythic Entertainment is planning to start rolling out new content for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning beginning in March called “Call to Arms.” Call to Arms will apparently include live events, new Realm vs. Realm content, two new character classes, and a brand new dungeon. The roll out begins in March and continues on until June. Some other incidentals like added functionality to the Realm Wars section of the WAR website, the opening of the official WAR Forums, and a new free trial version of the game.
A full accounting of all the new content, including some choice screenshots and art, can be found after the jump.
March:
- Call to Arms: Bitter Rivals Live Event: Successful completion allows head start access to the new Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer careers. The event will also include the new Chaos-themed RvR Scenario, Twisting Tower.
- Two New Careers Join WAR
The Orc Choppa
The Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer may be bitter enemies, but they have at least one thing in common: they live, eat, and breathe close-quarters melee combat. Choppas are ornery and savage, with a one track mind dead set on bashin’ heads! This savage dedication makes them ferocious fighters, wreaking havoc throughout enemy lines purely for the sake of satisfying their own self-indulgent bloodlust.
Dwarf Slayer
The Slayer is driven by a solemn oath to atone for past sins through an honorable death in combat. However, Dwarfs are a stubborn folk and dying quietly is simply not in their nature. Slayers therefore become ruthless and terrifying fighters, throwing themselves into battle with no regard for their own well-being.
April:
- Call to Arms: Beyond the Sands’ Live Event: Details to be revealed soon!
May:
- Call to Arms: Rise of the Tomb Kings’ Live Event (May): The race between Order and Destruction players begins to unlock the Land of the Dead for their Realm.
June:
- Land of the Dead Opens: The deserts of Nehekharaopen open to players with the addition of a new RvR-gated dungeon zone. To gain access to the Land of the Dead, opposing Realms must battle for control of the zone to access dozens of new Public Quests, instanced lairs, and a massive new Tomb Kings dungeon to plunder in search of the Casket of Souls.
