Thewarjournal.com is a Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning blog started on a whim.
I had previously played MMORPGs with most of the current contributors to the site. We were in the same guilds, same PvP groups, and constantly on Ventrilo.
I realized that the discussions we were having regarding class balance, PvP, and the games in general were pretty solid, and visitors to our Vent server liked to listen in and participate, always interested in what there was to be said.
I do some PhP coding on the side, and knew enough to start up a blog. I put together some Warhammer related graphics, bought up the domain name, and began to write. It was difficult at first because the site was up before game had launched, and all we really had was speculation and hearsay. We all pre-ordered to be able to participate in the Open Beta, and soon had plenty to say.
I still tend to be one of the more vocal of the group about issues (I bitch a lot), but I’m managing to channel it into writing. I tend to be the one that posts the most for now, but that may change as we all near rank 40.
We’re all experienced gamers and PvPers having fun with a new game. Warhammer Online was one of the smoothest MMO launches any of us have been a part of, and the heavy PvP/RvR focus makes this a perfect game for us. There are a few things that we don’t agree with, and I’m sure there will always be balance issues, as in all MMOs, but we’re here to give you our take on it.
Feel free to post on our forums and let us know what you think. Thewarjournal community is growing rapidly, and is slowly becoming the central WAR PvP hub on the net.
Thank you all for your emails, PMs, and for your support, I’m glad you enjoy the site.
