DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

Even though Wrath of the Lich King is occupying most of the world's MMORPG gamers, Warhammer Online is still kicking. Mythic has been working hard to alleviate some of the PVP balance issues that have hurt the game since launch. To that end, the company has pushed out the first major update for the title which brings two new classes and a plethora of fixes. From the patch notes:

Open RvR Influence System: Players who participate in this part of WAR will now have additional incentives for fighting for their realm. As part of this patch, we have also made quite a number of changes and fixes to oRvR places and NPCs as well.
Easy Public Quests: PQs are great, but sometimes it's hard to get enough people together to complete them, especially in the lower tiers. So, we are redesigning one PQ per chapter so that it can be completed by 1-3 people.

The full patch notes can be found on the game's official web site. It has been a while since I last logged into Warhammer as a result of playing Lord of the Rings Online and gearing up for our upcoming StarGate Worlds coverage, but these two classes should help infuse some new life into the game and hopefully give a boost to low-population Order factions. Warhammer Online has been maturing nicely and Mythic seems intent on keeping it that way.

User Interface: Lots and lots of fixes, changes and new additions to our user interface and API functionality, new additions to the chat system and graphic options incorporating community requested features a channel flashing on activity, the ability to turn the chat bubbles on/off, a gamma slider and so much more.
