Warhammer preview weekend+ patch notes
While the full 4.1 patch notes are still under NDA, the notes for this weekend's preview delve into Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning are free and clear for everyone to enjoy. And they're still pretty freaking huge. The full and mind-blowing notes are available after the cut, but here are some highlights:- You can now only belong to one faction on a given Realm. Picking Destruction or Order with your first character is now a permanent choice.- Every single class has received an overhaul, with the 'turret' classes (Engineer and Magus) and the Squig Herder getting the most love.- Quests and Public Quests have received a few tweaks thanks to Beta feedback.- Auction Houses and personal banks have been added to the game for the first time!For every gruesome detail, read on below the cut.

WAR Preview Weekend attendees can start playing Friday, September 5th
We'll keep this short and sweet. Anyone who was part of the Warhammer Online Preview Weekend can join in on "Preview Weekend+." Tomorrow. That's right. Friday, September 5th, for North American Preview Weekend attendees. Warhammer Online's Community Coordinator James Nichols made this announcement today:"WAAAGH!!!WAR is Coming and the world is ready. Hundreds of thousands of players will descend upon the Age of Reckoning this Sunday, September 7th. In order to make this world-wide event the best it can be we're welcoming all Preview Weekend attendees back for two more days to rev things up and get the party started. We invite all Preview Weekend players to join us for Preview Weekend+ this Friday, 9/5 and Saturday, 9/6 starting tomorrow morning.This epic weekend will be one to remember as you herald in Open Beta and the Age of Reckoning to the entire world! The tides of WAR are coming...we'll see you on the battlefield!"There you have it. We haven't received word on what time, exactly, the servers will open up, but since they've stated "tomorrow morning"... it might be time to call in 'sick' and have yourself a 3-day WAR weekend. Thanks Tom and Zak.Edit: It seems that Preview Weekend + will not include WAR's European player base. This post will be updated if that situation changes. Did you enjoy this?

Gamer streams WAR preview weekend gameplay live
If you won't get a chance to take advantage of the Warhammer Online preview weekend this weekend, we've found the next best thing. A WAR fan named Saban is streaming his gameplay from this weekend completely live for all to see. Not only that, you can chat with other observers and comment on what's going on in the game. Saban even includes information on the computer he's using, his character and Vent server info to join him and others in some hardcore WAR discussion.We anticipate once this site gets more popular, the streaming won't be so... streaming, but it's worth a shot for anyone still on the fence about what to expect with WAR. From what we're watching at the time of this writing, the streaming is still flawless, which even includes streaming music from Saban, but of course that depends on your connection and your computer.[Via Cuppycake] Did you enjoy this?
