Over the past six months shock, terror, frustration, calamity, diligence, pride, joy and many other emotions shook the Warhammer Online community and the development staff at Mythic Entertainment. The first year is always the hardest for any newly-launched MMOG but that’s not stopping the aggressive development on Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. The team drilled-down all the difficult challenges, exposed the nitty-gritty, grasped onto player feedback, and hammered out some much needed improvements.

Can't believe they actually added the slayers in... although I really can't remember what was meant to be going in that position... but I know slayers were never going to be in the game

slayers are the replacement for the hammerers. although the hammerers where just a stand-in because they couldn't work out the Lore behind slayers

Yes they were. During development the slayer was originally going to be in the game. Hence we saw them in the first cinematic clip and concept art. Later on they were removed and replaced with hammerers who were quickly dropped just before release along with the choppa, knights of the blazing sun and a few others.

Oh right, game/content updates.

I got a funny feeling the subscription fee is for server upkeep/maintenance & and game upkeep (balancing, bugfix and so forth) mainly and the rest is kinda latter to that.

oh, dont forget paying the staff
