Warhammer
Online Turns One-Year-Old! Sets Celebration Plans for September
Players Celebrate with Wild Hunt
Live Event, Weekend Scenarios, Veteran Rewards, Experience/Renown Bonus and More
Mythic Entertainment today announced
the celebratory activities planned for the upcoming one year anniversary of the
critically acclaimed MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR). The
celebration kicks-off on August 31st with the introduction of a special new live
event – The Wild Hunt, and continues all September with special weekend-only
scenarios, a month-long 20% Experience/Renown bonus, special in-game items for
all players, veteran rewards, and much more.
“This anniversary marks a major
milestone for WAR, the Mythic development team, and our fantastic community of
players,” said Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer of Warhammer Online: Age of
Reckoning. “We could think of no better way of marking this occasion than by
celebrating our success with our fans for the entire month of September. We’ve
got new content to share with the Wild Hunt live event, special versions of
popular scenarios, and a 20% experience and renowned bonus, plus, players can
get special rare drops, veteran rewards, fireworks, Halfling pies, and exploding
stout! Now that is a party Warhammer style!”
The Wild Hunt live event, taking
place from August 31 – September 7, 2009, pits the forces of Order and
Destruction against the ultimate quarry in the new instanced dungeon, The
Hunter’s Vale. For more information about the Wild Hunt live event, visit:

special weekend-only events are planned with special versions of the Mourkain
Temple (September 11-14), Gates of Ekrund (September 18-21) and Temple of Isha
(September 25-28) scenarios.
Throughout September’s celebration,
exclusive anniversary items, including Halfling Pies and the Jubilee Cloak, will
be delivered via in-game mail to all players. Fans that have waged non-stop war
for the past year will be rewarded with a special veteran’s reward, the WAR
Aegis, and unique title, Weapon of WAR. In addition to all players receiving a
20% experience and renown bonus throughout September, enemies defeated in RvR
combat will drop fireworks, exploding stout and other unique limited edition
anniversary items.

game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning features
revolutionary Realm vs. Realm conflict that will provide players with an
engaging battleground for years to come. Available now for PC and rated “T” for
