EA Mythic plans to celebrate the first anniversary of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's release with special in-game events during September.
Things will kick off on 1st September with the introduction of the "Wild Hunt", which "pits the forces of Order and Destruction against the ultimate quarry" in a new instanced dungeon, the Hunter's Vale. Throughout the month there will also be special weekend-only Scenarios, a month-long 20% XP/Renown bonus, special in-game items for all players, veteran rewards, "and much more".
"This anniversary marks a major milestone for WAR, the Mythic development team and our fantastic community of players," said Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. "We could think of no better way of marking this occasion than by celebrating our success with our fans for the entire month of September. We've got new content to share with the Wild Hunt live event, special versions of popular Scenarios, and a 20% Experience and Renown bonus, plus, players can get special rare drops, veteran rewards, fireworks, Halfling Pies, and exploding stout! Now that is a party Warhammer style!"
The special weekend scenarios will involve versions of the Mourkain Temple (11-14th September), Gates of Ekrund (18-21st September) and Temple of Isha (25-28th September) Scenarios.
Throughout September's celebration, exclusive anniversary items, including Halfling Pies and the Jubilee Cloak, will be delivered via in-game mail to all players. Fans that have waged non-stop war for the past year will be rewarded with a special veteranýs reward, the WAR Aegis, and unique title, Weapon of WAR. In addition to all players receiving a 20% Experience and Renown bonus throughout September, enemies defeated in RvR combat will drop fireworks, exploding stout and other unique limited-edition anniversary items.
