    Well there goes my dream of rooting out chaos in the Reikland

    What? Why? What happened? I was so looking forward to that. And then kind of forgot about it almost entirely, because I have no attention span.

      It is with a great deal of sadness that I have to inform the community that we have decided to discontinue the development of Warhammer Online and will be closing down this website with immediate effect.

      This has been a difficult and painful decision but it was taken following a following a full review of the progress of the game, costs to date and future costs of the project. As a result both Games Workshop and Climax Development Limited, the computer games developer, have agreed to terminate the development project.

      I would like to say a personal thanks to all of the people who have followed our development over the last few years, your constant support and enthusiasm has meant a great deal to us.

        There was a communication breakdown between the companies apparently. GW decided that they would not fund the extended development time that was needed if they were to complete the changes they had asked for. Its a great shame and I hope that, like Middle Earth, a new attempt will be considered in a couple of years.

          Indeed this is sad news

          May the beer flow down the gullet of many a designer and dreamer this time...

          May they get the collective together and get the job done very very soon

            It looked like a complete dud, no loss.

                Eschewing obfuscation and transcending conformity since 1982. Embrace the flux.

                    I'd settle for locking all the forum games

                      maybe we should start a new one in honour of your idea

                            Yeah - like that game in the arcades when you try to bash the creatures when they pop out of the holes, and more keep coming all the time. Perhaps it could be made more topical if the creatures were ferrets.....
