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 of a need to rush to the end game in Warhammer Online.
2. Sans gives Theerivs some excellent advice on how to level a Chosen.
3. Mark Jacobs gives us a sneak preview of patch 1.05 over on the VN Boards, and the next day they show up on the Herald.
4. Thulfs lists some of the endgame epic quests for Destruction.
5. Admin points us to some awesome guides to pocket items.

1. Malitas teaches us the art of an AoE tank as a Black Orc. Great for grinding out levels, public quests, or whatever.
2. Syncaine recommends reducing the amount of content available in Warhammer Online in order to make the game seem more populated and alive.
3. Syp made a list of the 50 small attractions of Warhammer Online.
4. Witching Night, Warhammer Online’s online version of Halloween, is live from October 29 to November 2. Get the official details on the Herald, or check out Massively’s write-up for a closer look at what’s available.
5. Alex reminds us that if you’re looking for war, it’s waiting for you in tier 4 in the form of several large, roaming warbands of both Destruction and Alliance facing off in the open RvR lakes.

1. Spinks reviews the latest change to renown for healers in scenarios. Previously, healers got renown for any healing they did in a scenario. Now, they only get renown for healing members of their team that were involved in killing a member of the opposite team. Bottom line: you get less renown for healing tanks and other healers and more renown for healing the high DPS classes. Lame.
2. In an interview with Ten Ton Hammer, Mark Jacobs revealed that after the Black Guard and the Knight of the Blazing Sun, we will see the return of either the Hammerer or the Choppa…one of them may be replaced with a different career. Most are putting their money on the Hammerer being replaced with the Slayer.
3. For Halloween, Warhammer Online will feature an in-game event called Witching Night. Boss monsters with phat loot will be lurking in the RvR lakes. Not only will you have to down the boss, you’ll have to contend with the opposite faction, too.
4. Thanks to Draegan for pointing us to a post on F13.net in which Mark Jacobs discusses Mythic’s plans to get players out of the scenarios and into open RvR and RvR lakes. He says, and I quote, “We are going to boost RvR like crazy, it’s going to be the place to be. You’d have to have 10 tons of brain damage not to go open RvR.” It’s a long thread but worth the read. I suggest skimming it for Mark’s responses, which offer a lot of insight into the future direction of Warhammer Online.
5. Ainilome asks, “Why can’t we pass on PQ loot bags?” Good question.

1. Altdorf apparently “fell” on the Averheim server, this time for real. Coincidentally, this is where I’m playing my Rune Priest. Normally, I stay away from most forums, as they generally tend to consist of insults and barbs thrown by civilized people devolved into internet idiots. However, there’s a pretty good thread over on Warhammer Alliance about it. Mark Jacobs gives his response on the VN Boards, and the WAR blogosphere is consumed by the subject. You can find some of the better coverage by reading these posts by Tobold, Thulf, Rog, and Heartless. Br3ntbr0, however, points us to a follow-on post by Mark Jacobs, which further clarifies how Altdorf fell so quickly. Leo also points out that Altdorf did not fall; it was merely thrown into a contested state.
2. Great write-up on trophies and bestial tokens by Thulf. I must have missed the memo, because I didn’t know what the hell bestial tokens did until I read his post.
3. Syncaine implores you to slow down and enjoy Warhammer Online. Unlike most MMORPGs, there is plenty of content throughout the levels. If you race to the end-game, you’re going to miss out on a lot. This is one of the reasons I don’t feel that frantic need to hit the level cap.
4. Not much blogging about WAR dungeons going on, but fortunately Arbitrary doesn’t disappoint with his overview of Gunbad, a three-wing public dungeon in the Badlands.
5. In an interview with GameIndustry.biz, Blizzard’s COO states that over half of those who cited Warhammer Online as their reason for leaving World of Warcraft have returned. Whether that means over 25,000 out of 50,000 or 25 out of 50, we shall never know, but I’m betting it’s closer to 25.

1. If you want just a small sample of the epic proportions of keep raids, check out Keen’s post about Happy Fun Guyz’s battle to reclaim their keep.
2. Syp gives a good tutorial on tactics, explaining the difference between Career Tactics, RvR Tactics, and Tome Tactics.
3. Thade offers some helpful advice on how to use the global cooldown to time spells and ensure you have a virtually limitless supply of action points.
4. Alex sets up a great rotation for taking down multiple mobs simultaneously while questing as a Black Orc.
5. Ulfryk teaches you how to counter a Witch Hunter attack as a Zealot…
Recently, I was contacted by Marz, the webmaster of myWARspace.com, asking if we would be willing to do a review of his website. I thought to myself, why the hell not? Karma is a powerful force, afterall.
myWARspace is a social networking site; think MySpace or Facebook for Warhammer Online. However, it is not run by a company or corporation. It’s a fansite created for gamers, by gamers. Here are some if its advertised features:
