WAR (Warhammer Online)

i was playing today and then all of a sudden the game closed, and after awhile it went back up ,  it kinda sucked that it happend but oh well, then a good hour maybe, it went down.  is there any idea as to why they had to bring down the servers ? was a bug or something big ?

It's down because they're fixing some login issues.

No more being able to need on stuff that you can't use (except from level) in scenarios, take that you ninja looting monkey junkers!

The Servers are down because of login issues. I got the message when i was ingame

On the patcher it says the status of the servers on the upper right, plus you can go to the herald section of the website and it says that they are down for maintainance.

Cheers!

No.. they are down for a patch, which includes some fixes and some new features:

- bonus to influence/xp for certain under populated realms on some servers, to attract new players
- more code to fight gold spammers
- a join-all-queues for scenarios button
- siege engine interface fixes
- no more afk'ing in scenarios.. you get kicked out after 2 mins and can get no xp/rp while in the spawn area
- no more needing on stuff thats not usable by your class in scenarios (forced), elsewhere the group leader can turn the feature on
- pet improvements

plus much more

Actually, that patch you're referring to was already in game when they took the servers down for log in issues.  I know it is a fact because I saw the Join All button on the scenario tab when I went to sign up and before they took them down this afternoon.

Log in issues was the reason they gave in game when the servers came down about an hour or so ago.

i was wonderign why it went down. hopefully they will fix what ever was causing people problems.

as for the patch today  i am super  glad they add the join all button for scenarios, and the loot  thing., that really  helps.
