Career Planner: Abilities & Masteries
Snaffy's Space — I’ve always been addicted to the meta game of fully planning out my character using third-party products in MMORPGs. I was a big fan of Kort’s Spellcrafting Calculator for DAOC, WoW-Head’s talent tree builder for World of Warcraft, and now WarDB and WAR Character Planner for Warhammer Online. Here’s a side-by-side comparison sheet of features (pros and cons) for you to look over. These are initial impressions of the versions I tested over the last few days. Any minor shortcomings may be addressed in future updates, so keep checking them out and ...

Snaffy's Space — The time for nominations has passed. The time for voting is at hand! That’s right, it’s time to pick your favourite Warhammer Online community sites of 2008!

2008 Greeny Award Winners
Snaffy's Space — The 2008 Greeny Awards attracted 2,472 votes this year, which have been tallied up by Polldaddy. It seems as though there was some voter apathy this year because many of the sites I thought would attract a tonne (or ton if you’re an imperialist) of votes, didn’t. Even the nominations were a bit soft compared to the 2007 awards. Maybe I’ll take Syp’s advice next year and hide the results until the end of the contest because seeing that your favorite site isn’t winning can produce two negative effects: 1) voter fraud and/or 2) voter apathy. Some people may try deleting ...

I’ll do him one better by talking briefly about 3 things official forums can do that unofficial forums can’t, and 3 things unofficial forums can do that official forums can’t. I honestly believe both are necessary, and neither is actually evil. ...

More to read, crack on!
Book of Grudges — ... PhoenixRed has done us proud, and in the spirit of the WCPI, I want to bring attention to his post over at Warhammer Alliance. The article touches on the history of GOA and Mythic working together on Warhammer Online, when Mythic have made changes and GOA haven’t been able to do much except play catch-up and opens up a dialogue with WHA readers about the whole EU/US split. Now, you know this has been on our minds since the game first opened, and we’ve certainly not been shy about how we feel about it. But it’s nice ...
