And then there were two: Warhammer Online merges servers once more
Warhammer Online's server culls continue today as the Gorfang (North America) and Karak Azgal (Europe) servers are being retired. As we mentioned last month, Gorfang players will now be taking refuge on the Badlands server, while Karak Azgal's denizens will find a new home on Karak Norn. For those of you keeping score at home, this brings Warhammer Online's total operational servers to a whopping two. Players with characters on either server can transfer them to the remaining servers via the Mythic Account Center, though at the rate things are going, there may not be any servers left soon enough.
Waaaghon Ho!: Warhammer Online merging servers following free transfers
Saddle up, rough riders: It's time to head to more fertile lands! Starting next week, select Warhammer Online players will be given the option to transfer between servers for free. The decision is Mythic's attempt to merge underpopulated servers, and the company hopes that this move will drive up the action in RvR for previously quiet locations. Players on the Gorfang (North America) and Karak Azgal (Europe) will be able to move house to Badlands and Karak Norn, respectively, starting December 14th. Once this happens, Gorfang and Karak Azgal will be marked as "Legacy" servers, keeping new players from rolling on them, and then after three weeks, the two servers will be shut down completely. Any characters left on those servers will not be playable until they transfer to their new homes. Mythic is also paving the way for guilds to move wholesale to new servers, with more information about this coming next week.
One Shots: Deadly beauty
When it comes to RvR, one might expect to see dark, bloody battlefields littered with the mangled corpses of myriad slain enemies. That's why we were surprised to get such a lovely shot as this Warhammer Online one from Tristy of the Karak Norn server, who said only that it's of "an RvR lake." While Tristy didn't give us specifics of where precisely this area is in game, general staff consensus was that this looks like Eataine, land of the Elves. In either case, it's certainly a very unexpected, lovely land in which to put the smack down on one's enemies. If you have any details on just precisely where in Warhammer Online this particular RvR lake is, feel free to note it in the comments below! If you've found a surprising area in your favorite MMO, we'd love to see it. Just email that screenshot in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a brief description. Please make sure the image is at least 1024px wide, and turn off the UI. We'll post it out here and give you the credit for sending it in! %Gallery-85937%
