Wisconsin.
The land of cheese, cows, and cattle. (Yes that’s a fat joke, I went there.) The state with heavy eaters, drinkers, and consequently the most drunk drivers. The state that is filled with a population of ironic people that claim out-of-state drivers cannot drive as well as they can, yet they cannot pronounce the word [...]

First before I get into the wonderful class that is Engineers, allow me to apologise to readers of Hammer of War. I’ve been busy, unwell, and dealing with a move from California.
So! Enough whining (or rather, check my blog for whining). Engineers. They’re as Dwarfy as beer. As versatile as a Swiss army knife and as fun as anything. They’re also getting [...]

Hello, my name is Ysharros and I’m an altophile!
Hybrids and Altophiles
Last week someone asked me why hybrids, who in MMOs tend to be a little of several classes, or even all class types, aren’t necessarily “enough” as a single character for an altophile.

For those who don’t know, I am an officer in the Army currently deployed to Iraq. I am returning to the states in approximately three weeks. I am in the middle of out-processing, training up my replacement, packing up my crap and shipping most of it home. After I return to the states,  I have [...]

However, due to various real life issues, this week’s confession may be on the short side, and was inspired partly by questions I was asked elsewhere (thanks to my e-Muses). So here goes.
Q: [...]

We are closing in on the two month anniversary of WAR’s release! Instead of writing a Detail this week, I thought I’d dive into the current uneasy feeling some gamers have felt in terms of WAR’s total in-game population. Last month players wondered how many people would stay past the first ‘free’ month, claiming doom [...]

Welcome back to the killing fields. Look at the fresh bodies, still smoking! Oh, how I love Sorcerers! No, the bodies were not wizards – mostly. They were harvested by the Dark Elves, servants of Khaine and the Witch King. Their prowess on the battlefield is incredible but there have been… accidents. Sometimes, you’ll find [...]

Each week, I will post a list of the top 10 articles that I found while exploring the tubes of the internet and blogosphere. This list is purely subjective and based on my opinion alone, so take it for what it’s worth.
1. Syncaine talks about server transfers, the importance of high population, and the lack [...]

Hello, my name is Ysharros and I’m an altoholic. By now, I’m sure you know the drill.
Many careers in WAR take a little while to mature, and going at least to Rank 10 is helpful if you think you like a career but you’re not entirely sure. What may seem underpowered at 3 can change [...]
