The most recent ”State of the Game” report by Mythics Mark Jacobs announces the first major patch for Warhammer Online. Included in this new patch are two new player classes, the long awaited Black Guard and Knight of the Blazing Sun. Jacobs said, ”Earlier this year, I said that the Black Guard and the Knight would be part of WAR only when they were great and deserved their place alongside all of WAR’s other compelling classes. I also said that we would not charge any additional fees for this new content or put it in a separate expansion pack; that’s not how we operate. We’ve kept to that plan and with the introduction of these two classes, Mythic shows that once again we are happy to keep giving players more value for their subscription dollars than any other MMORPG developer”
The report also promises improvements to the in-game mail system, augmentation for RvR gear, changes to the in-game chat system, and the targeting system. In addition to fixes to the game, Jabcobs also announced that fourteen new quest chains will be included, two new Lairs and ”many more Tome of Knowledge unlocks.”
