Warhammer Online suffers massive feature-cut
Mythic boss Mark Jacobs has just dropped a bombshell on the MMO world by announcing that Warhammer Online is to suffer a huge cut in content, with the final game losing four capital cities and four entire classes.
Speaking in an interview with MMORPG.com, Jacobs said that the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf cities are to be dropped from the game’s launch, as will the Choppa (Greenskin), the Hammerer (Dwarf), the Blackguard (Dark Elf) and the Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire).
As Massively points out, two of these classes were the major tankers for their races, so the subject of balance is obviously being raised.
Game’s out this autumn. God willing.

woah. see when i hear these sort of stories i think wow the game must be having some serious problems and in them trying to sort it they know it has those holes and the final product won’t be up to the highly critiqued MMO gaming worlds standards

Doesn’t bode well at all.

WAR is obviously having problems if they’re ditching that much content.
Alarm bells are probably ringing in most potential customer’s minds after that.

I’ve just heard they’re dropping power pills from the next pac-man.

Wow another case of half-hearted reporting…
247 state above, “As Massively points out, all these classes were the major tankers for each race, so the subject of balance is obviously being raised.”
Massively didnt say that. They said all were melee and TWO were tanking classes.
At least TRY to get it straight, eh?
