Excitement is surrounding what is set to be the biggest update yet for WAR, and it's coming to the new test server for you to preview!

All currently subscribed players will have the opportunity to experience and test everything that 1.0.5 has to offer, and most importantly provide us with their feedback and bug reports to make patch day even smoother when 1.0.5 arrives on live servers.

In order to make testing even easier and better, and so that you can see how the changes impact you directly, all players will be able to copy their existing characters on the Live Servers to the Public Test Server.

As of this morning Witching Night has ceased.  I hope you had a ghoulish time in WAR!

The ghouls fade from view and the Withered Crones pack their cauldrons and vanish into nothing once more. We hope that you enjoyed the quests and rewards that came with our first Live Event! As we said yesterday, the Event Heralds will remain for a few days to hand out the rewards you may have earned. They can be found near the Flight Masters in Altdorf and The Inevitable City. Witching Night has come to an end for now, but be sure to check out our Live Events page and keep an eye here on the Herald for upcoming events!

Another round of Hot Fixes today!  Categories include: Capital Cities, Combat and Careers, Content, Items, and Quests & Public Quests.

Tomorrow morning is the last day of Witching Night!

Your chance to seek out the ghosts, witches and horrors that plague the land and put an end to their wicked doings is nearing its end. The Witching Night will end tomorrow morning, November 5th, bringing our first Live Event to a close. This means that today and tonight are your last chance to earn any rewards for the Witching Night. The event Heralds will remain in game for a few days after the close of the event to allow you time to collect your rewards. Click here for more information about Witching Night!
