submitted by lifebane on Jan 22nd, 2009 - Root: All - 0 comments
Mythic recently released a Herald Article showing "proof" that balance between the opposing factions was now basically "fixed". The first thing that sticks out from their post is that they bucket all servers together by US and Monolith servers, so basically two buckets.

The dev team posted their latest news regarding sieges in Warhammer Online and the known lag problems when participating in this type of gameplay. The news is that they have implemented a solution for the lag.... I like to call it simply "Begone wimp!" Basically as the population in these besieged cities becomes higher the game begins to forcibly teleport players away from the area based on their level. Basically if you aren't level 40 then you will be...

How to get rid of the annoying logo loads when you start the Warhammer
submitted by lifebane on Dec 3rd, 2008 - Root: All - 0 comments
Kuntz from Over on Drifting Castle Server tossed together a nice little script to disable the logo and load animations from Warhammer Online. Many people have already used it and Kuntz is a legitimate person, no funky spyware or anything like that. Tried it out myself and it worked fine. Read below to see what he posted on the matter and the link to his file to work this magic. Posted here with permission from Kuntz of course.
