News From the Front: Advance on Altdorf

 "General Klunst, Count von Rendt," called the messenger, while looking back fearfully in the direction of the east. "I bring grim tidings. The regiments holding the crossings of the Lynsk have been defeated. The enemy has brought up additional Hellcannons, and our lines have been broken by them."

Instead of waiting for General Klunst to respond, the messenger spurred his horse and galloped westward out of the city, as if it were the only sane thing to do.

Klunst was beside himself with fury.

"Your Honor," Klunst said to the Count, "What did he mean, 'the regiments holding the crossings of the Lynsk'? I ordered our last two intact regiments to hold the center of town, not be exposed at the river."

Count von Rendt fanned himself. "I felt those orders to be rubbish. I sent our soldiers to make a manly defense of the Lynsk bridges, not cower behind piles of rubble in the city center."

"You ignorant snivelard," Klunst grated. "You've squandered your entire army getting to Praag, and now you've squandered mine!"

"The bridges should be held, Gen

It seems that North America and Europe won't be the only ones to enjoy the RvR goodness this Fall when Warhammer Online launches. Today, the company announced that Australia, New Zeland and parts of Southeast Asia will see a simultaneous launch as well.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ (WAR) will ship in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia simultaneously with the North American and European Fall 2008 release.

In addition, WAR will also feature a dedicated server in Australia, ensuring the best game play experience possible for players in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other Southeast Asian territories. Players will still have the option of connecting to North American servers.

"Warhammer is a worldwide franchise with a strong following in Australia and New Zealand. By placing our own server down under and running customer service out of EA Mythic, we can ensure that when we launch WAR, Oceanic players will experience the same quality of game play and customer service as North American players," said Mark Jacobs, VP and General Manager of EA Mythic.

Expansion Overview

The first expansion pack of Phoenix Dynasty Online comes! Among all the updates, Marriage system, Refining system, new series quest and new homeland battle will be a big shot to our players.

Let’s have a quick look at the main contents of this highly anticipated expansion pack. 

Marriage system

Love connects people and gives them strength. Even the greatest warrior, when suffering defeats, needs the gentle touch and minute care from his lover.

Players now don’t need to worry about fighting atrocious monsters without being firmly supported. In expansion pack, you and your lover can forge an unshakable alliance by entering matrimony; therefore you can do quests and vanquish monsters with sweet conjugal felicity! By doing so, you can declare your unswerving love to your beloved in face of other players! In addition, a grand wedding ceremony can be held to witness your sweet combination.

Refining system

 The item crafting system has long been the game’s unique feature. It enables players to forge enchanted items, helping them wipe out formidable foes on the way to ascend to become true heroes.

 In expansion pack, a new system, item refining system, will be introduced in t

We’ve been waiting a long time to send Point-à-Pitre into the live game. The towns in our game are great, but we see so much more possibility in them. This is why we made Tortuga and Point-à-Pitre. Sometimes though, we let our enthusiasm for the cool things our art and content teams can do eclipse the best possible game design. When that happens we listen to our players and make changes based on their feedback, which is what we’re going to do now.

What we’ve heard from players about both towns and the feedback is pretty similar:

• Stuff you need to do is too far away from the coxswain.
• Too hard to find your way around—“mazelike” is the word, I think.
• It’s too big.
• Maps are hard to read because of all the stairs / 3D areas.
• Tunnels are repetitive and boring.

To address these issues, we’re going to do a number of things. First, we’re going to move important locations and NPCs in Point-à-Pitre to be closer to the coxswain and easier to get to. Check out the map below. Very soon, all of the places you’d need to go for missions, etc., will be within the yellow outline there. That should make it a lot faster and easier to navigate to what you need.

The rest of the town will be open for e

On Wednesday, a number of press outlets were invited to take part in a telephone press conference with the guys from EA Mythic who were there to talk about their progress to this point in development.

While a lot of what was said was information that we have reported on in the past (there were a number of outlets there that have not had the same opportunities to cover the game as we have had), but there were some gems in there on subjects like the lorebook, sieges, updates and more!

Within minutes of joining the call, I could tell that this was going to be another typical Warhammer event, making best use of the controlled madness that is the Warhammer promotional team of Paul Barnett, Jeff Hickman, and Josh Drescher. This time, they were joined by Adam Gershowitz and Destin Bales.

The game, Josh tells us, is still in closed beta and they have been testing mid-level Elven content. Paul was quick to point out that it wasn't an open beta, that it is a targeted beta (which prior MMORPG.com articles can describe). With all of the fuss recently over the semantics of beta naming, what seems like an innocent mistake now might come back to bit them, so I suppose it's better to continue to c
