Warhammer Online - A Retrospective

It has now been exactly a year since EA pulled the plug on Warhammer Online. Before they did though, they allowed all previous WAR accounts a month of free playtime. I made it my mission to try and use the opportunity to try and screenshot as much as possible of the fantastic design work that went into the game before it was lost forever.

 

It was great fun exploring the landscapes again after a 2.5 year absence. Alas time wasn't my friend, and I barely managed to capture even a fraction of the games landscapes and features. I did however make a priority of getting a shot of every single Realm vs Realm objective, and with 2 hours to spare I had succeeded, giving me enough time to join the population in one last epic confrontation over Martyr's Square in Praag before the end. Now, on the anniversary of that end, it seemed the perfect opportunity to finally upload the pics to photobucket for a nostalgic look back on the objectives we spent years fighting so hard over - from the famous Haystack to the infamous Crack. Enjoy!

Many Dargrons died to bring us this information (usually to terrain glitches and poor jumping mechanics).

I loved WaR so much I bought a grand total of 6 copies of the game, 2 special editions for my wife and I, + the 4 others to give out to friends to play as well.

I also had a friend who was one of the devs in the game. During the development of the game, his father passed away and he lobbied the producer to get a "memorial" of sorts for his dad into the game. The result was an NPC blacksmith named Miessie in Altdorf. Miessie was his last name, I can't remember his first name.

I had a bunch of trophies on my main toon that I switched out off an on over the years, but I never took off the DAOC emblem that you got as part of a special promotion for DAOC players that bought WaR. I wore that thing with pride :)
