New Careers Now Playable in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning The Ruthless Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer Answer the Call to Arms

The Call to Arms has sounded, and the Realms of Order and Destruction have welcomed two new combatants to the frontlines of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR) – the head-bashin’ Orc Choppa and oath-sworn Dwarf Slayer. Playable from the 18th March, these new careers are brutal, unrelenting fighters who will stop at nothing to claim victory over their opponents on the Realm vs. Realm battlefields of WAR.

The tattooed Slayer is the manifestation of the Dwarfs’ obsession with honour, seeking only a heroic and honourable death in combat. However, dying quietly is simply not in his nature. In WAR, the Slayer is a ruthless and terrifying fighter, throwing himself into battle with no regard for his own well-being. He is a force to be reckoned with and relies on his ever-escalating rage to power each swing of his dual axes.

The ornery and savage Choppa is an offensive juggernaut that embodies the love of a good fight found in every Orc. He has a one-track mind that is dead set on wreaking havoc on enemy lines and bashin' heads! Driven by an inexplicably strong bloodlust, the Choppa is a whirlwind of destruction on the battlefield with a …debatable sense of self-preservation.

These two new careers come to reinforce the plethora of updates and changes that have stepped into the Age of Reckoning:

• The recently added Knight of the Blazing Sun and Black Guard tank careers
• New easy, medium, and hard PQs designed for different group sizes and skill levels
• Increased experience gain in Tiers 3 and 4
• New Influence rewards earned in Open RvR
• A new Domination system to determine Tier 4 zone control
• Frequent, fun and rewarding live events
• New and improved Guild rewards
• Improvements to overall performance and server stability
• Official European WAR Forums

Based on the popular tabletop war game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning features revolutionary Realm v Realm conflict that will provide players with an engaging battleground for years to come.

Introducing the Strongman Gobliiin - Stucco!

Following the success of its predecessors, Gobliiins 4 continues the hilarious story of the three wacky characters Tchoup, Perlius and Stucco. Typically for goblins, they are not especially bright, and each is capable of one - and only one - type of behaviour. It's up to the player to combine their unique skills in creative ways in order to progress through the game.

An introduction to Stucco!
Stucco is often called Baby Stoo-stoo by his dear old grandmother (who just happens to be a caber tossing champion), but please bear in mind that Stucco doesn’t really like being called that by people other than his close friends. His previous employers include a circus, a brothel and the Royal Navy, but his habit of eating much and working little always cost him his employment. Stucco is very stuck in his ways: he enjoys tomatoes, dislikes jelly and loves exercise. Why, you ask? Because of his loveable personality, of course!

Stucco is, well, strong. Not too smart, quite the opposite, in fact, but he doesn’t complain. Being able to hit stuff – and hit it hard – more than makes up for what he lacks in the thinking department. Stucco is the only goblin who can do heavy lifting, and he is strong enough to climb plant stems and hanging ropes.

Gobliiins 4 will be released on 27th March 2009 for a recommended retail price of £19.99.

Runes of Magic video revels new zone and challenges for high level players.

A new challenge arises in the east of Taborea. With the introduction of ‘Ravenfell’ shortly after the full launch on March 19th, Frogster will expand the online world of Runes of Magic with a new region, complete with new opponents and quests. Featuring idyllic sandy beaches, palm groves and quaint fishing villages, players will need to watch out for freebooters who haunt the Ravenfell region in their quest to solve the puzzle of the long perished kingdoms.

Adventurers with a character level of over 45 will need to take the route north east from the regional capital Varanas to the coastal reaches known as ‘Ravenfell’. Its location by the coast, quickly made the region an important trading location that attracted pirates as well as merchants. Momentous clashes have left their scars on Ravenfell and so players will encounter notorious pirates throughout the whole region. A legendary treasure aboard the ship, the ‘Black Mary’ has long been presumed lost following the disappearance of the pirate leader ‘Snow Blake’. Now treasure hunters scour Ravenfell for clues that might lead them to the discovery of pirate gold.



In the course of their search, players will explore the remotest corners of Ravenfell: from the ‘Shackle Coast’ with its turtle-like inhabitants, the Chelon, to the ‘Nameless Port’. Originally a flourishing trading post, it is now home only to villains and smugglers after being ravaged by pirates.
