It seems that after Thanksgiving weekend we will have a lot of work to do, because our long expected Warhammer Online 1.3.3 patch will be available. And when I said work I meant at the good way: just imagine, soon we’ll all be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of the Underdog System complete with a WAR Report chaser.

Now that you found out, I’m sure you are pretty excited to see which are the 1.3.3 features, so here they are:

-instant teleport to the closest chapter hub, flight master or warcamp (available at every 8 hours)

-a War Report window which provides you a list of current events

-Bloom & HDR (High Dynamic Range) which allows you to boost your effects to highest visual experience of WAR. (Post Processing)

Mythic Entertainment, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio, announced that the MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR), is now available for the Mac.

“We couldn’t be more excited to officially bring Warhammer Online and our intense Realm vs. Realm combat to Mac gamers,” said Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. “We welcome MAC users to experience the thrill of WAR and take up arms with their PC brethren.”

Based on the tabletop war game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning features Realm vs. Realm conflict that the company said provides players with an engaging battleground for years to come.

Apple Games has posted a new feature article examining the recently released Mac version of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The game features Realm vs Realm combat and allows players to enter a grim fantasy world where the armies of Order and Destruction collide to determine the fate of nations. Apple’s article includes comments from WAR executive producer Jeff Hickman, a history of Warhammer, and a list of tips and tricks.

Both sides in the war consist of loose confederacies: the realm of Destruction brings together the human followers of Chaos; savage Orcs, Goblins, and other Greenskins; and the corrupt Dark Elves, while the realm of Order assembles the tough-as-nails Dwarves; the noble Empire; and the ethereal High Elves. The three groups on each side don’t necessarily trust each other, but they understand the importance of strength in numbers.

“Our Orcs aren’t just grim, misunderstood tribal warriors: they’re European soccer hooligans who like to fight because fighting is fun,” Hickman remarks. “Our Dwarves aren’t simply industrious folks who like to stay out of the sun: they’re working class, beer-fueled brawlers with chips on their shoulders, especially about the Elves, who think they rule the world and have never done a real day’s work.”

Warhammer Online has officially been released for Mac computer systems. WAR on Mac is available to current subscribers for free and can be downloaded by new users and Mac gamers for $19.95 at Gametreeonline.com. The releases follows the recent 1.3.2 patch which has introduced a redesigned user experience which helps better guide and teach new players how to play and get the most out of their Warhammer experience.

Current subscribers can download the Mac version free of charge at www.warhammeronline.com/download.
