New Characters Debut in Warhammer Online
archimedes17 \| 12:14 AM on 03.18.2009	4 comments

For those tired of the usual fare, Mythic Entertainment offers up a pair of fresh classes (read: recycled RPG archetypes) for the Warhammer crowd. We can now play as the Orc Choppa, which sounds similar to the Barbarian build from Diablo II, and the Dwarf Slayer, some sort of runic warrior. The release of these new classes coincide with Mythic's consolidation of its player base on fewer servers. If you haven't returned to the WoW fold, this mixture of denser realms and different character choices may reignite your interest in this MMO...for awhile, at least. The corporate fluff piece can be found here.

I was still around when they added the previous two classes... and it didn't make the end-game any more exciting than it already was. Fun while it lasted. <3

Darn it people... recycled rpg archetypes they may be, but they were probably created by the Warhammer guys, so it doesnt count.

Exactly Ajaxender... exactly.

I love my Choppa. Was the class I originally intended to play when I first followed WAR. The influx of them kind of pisses me off though, would've been better if BG/KotBS and Choppa/Slayer were all released at the same time.

about me

Hi, there. Welcome to this den of iniquity, this cesspool of perversity, this hive of scum and...

...er, maybe not. Anyway, my name is Scott, age 24, and I am doomed to wander the earth in pursuit of my favorite interests: academic theory and video games. I don't take either one too seriously, though, so I enjoy pitting them against each other to fight for my favor. I've been playing video games since I was wee lad; my first console was a dusty Intellivision that my parents unearthed from the cellar. My favorite genres are RPG, sports (NHL in particular), adventure, puzzle, strategy, and some FPS.
