WAR Herald has two excellent fiction pieces up for your reading enjoyment. I'm a big fiction writer myself, so it's especially exciting for me to see such excellent work being produced for the WAR community. Check them out:
"Cruel as Ice, Cold as Steel" by Mike Lee
"The Sword Is Forged" by Nathan Long
If you are interested in writing some fiction for our site here at Allakhazam, I'd love to read it and share it here on the news for the rest of the community to enjoy!

WAR Herald has released a guide to complete world domination! Finally, those of us bent on taking over the world may now realize their dreams through a step-by-step how-to manual. No, this isn't for Earth, but for Warhammer Online...:
The following guide to sacking the enemy’s city is no way intended to be ‘Realm-ist’. The author even plays Order himself. The example of Altdorf is merely to illustrate the complexity of the City Siege process, and is not an effort to give Destruction an edge in sacking their enemy’s Capital. Further detailed guides on both cities and their content will be illustrating each Realm’s finer points at a later date.
Click "More..." below to view the rest of the guide. We've also included the guide in our forums.
Servers are coming down for emergency maintenance until 6p EST.

With the success of update 1.0.5 having been rolled out today, the test server Deathsword is being brought down in preparation for 1.0.6:
With 1.0.5 going live today Deathsword is being brought down in preparation for 1.0.6. From all of us thank you to those that contributed their time and energy to provide feedback and bug reports, your efforts have helped to make a better game!
We'll be inviting those that participated in testing 1.0.5 to a Limited Public Test of 1.0.6. Those invited will help us whip the Knight of The Blazing Sun and Blackguard into shape and provide us with critical feedback on the recent changes to all of the careers already in game.
Ever find yourself wondering if 57 Spirit resistance is better than 57 Elemental? Or if an item with 10 Int and 10 Wounds is better than one with 5 Int, 5 Wounds and a bunch of resists?
We've created a guide to help you answer those questions!
Check out the Resistance and Damage Types Guide.
You can get an overview of how resistance works, as well as a summary of what classes use which damage types. We've also updated our wiki pages on the damage types with a more in-depth list of what abilities use which damage.
Prepare for Game Update 1.0.5 ! Once this update goes live you'll have the chance to play a Blackguard or Knight of the Blazing Sun. Currently all the servers are down for this update:
All North American Servers will be brought down at 6:30AM EST to begin the update. Oceanic Servers will follow at 9AM EST. We anticipate all servers to be back online by 1:00PM EST.
Below you will find the current notes for 1.0.5. A lot of things have changed so be sure to read Mark Jacobs' update on 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 and the career changes we have coming up. Enjoy!
