Embers of Caerus newsletter updates beta development
Embers of Caerus' second monthly newsletter is out, and the various department teams are eager to share their progress in it. The landscaping is coming along, especially in regard to the quality of the trees. Populating the world is a different matter, however. The creatures have moved on to the modeling stage, and the concept team is also working hard at building up the city of Thaal. Lore, audio, and even ocean wave simulations are all in the works as well. The newsletter also contains a link to the recent game livestreams as well as a note about Gamer Safety Week.

WAR January newsletter hits, spotlights Shadow Warriors
The January Edition of the Warhammer Online newsletter is out, and as usual, it's chock full of goodies that any WAR fan is going to need to sustain himself in that woefully long period until the game's release in the second quarter of this year. The most notable content is the spotlight on the High Elf Shadow Warrior career. They're going some neat things with the Shadow Warrior, making them more of a mobile ranged physical DPS class, with the ability to deliver powerful short-range bow shots while on the run. Some of the other highlights include: The Video of the Month, which features a heavily scripted but very exciting-looking head-on battle between the forces of Destruction and Order. A video of an internal demonstration of their trophy system, which will highlight the badassery of the players and allow for more extensive visual customization options. More behind-the-scenes (and usually completely off the wall) goodies in Paul's Video Blog. An overview of some of the PvP scenarios, including Nordenwatch and Highpass Cemetary. If you want to be privvy to all these goodies without having to have us point them out for you, we advise you to sign up for the Warhammer Online e-newsletter so you can be kept abreast of all the latest news from the EA Mythic boyz.
