WAR Dev Journal:A Look at Warhammer Player Statues
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

James Casey, the Content Design Lead for Warhammer Online has penned a new dev journal which takes a look at warhammer player statues.The central theme of WAR is well, just that: war. It’s everywhere. Defending your realm and taking the fight to the enemy requires blood, sweat, and tears. Players in WAR are rewarded for their efforts through the accumulation of renown. Renown gives you access to training, equipment, and abilities that show off your dedication to the cause. But sometimes you need more; sometimes you need recognition. After all, what good is fortune without fame?Coming in December, warhammer patch 1.1 will introduce an in-game Top Ten leaderboard system that will put up warhammer player statues for the best of the best right smack down in the middle of the Cities!  But, before we go into that more, let’s talk about the blood, sweat, and tears that it took to get this system into the game.

That’s fine and dandy, but how do players in game know who’s number one? You might know it, but it’s no fun if no-one else knows it. (If you’re like me, you like to tell them as often as possible, even if it’s being the best at dying…) But it’s not like you can tell everyone right? You can’t just put a statue up to yourself and have people praise you… can you? Wouldn’t it be cool if you could? We think so!With that in mind, WAR tracks player accomplishments and we currently have a number of great leaderboards available on the Warhammer Herald to track your character against other characters in the Realm War.
