Warhammer Online Sees Massive Content Removal To Make Launch

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the bad-ideas-in-the-current-market dept.

Zonk is reporting that the Warhammer Online team has decided to keep their launch deadline firm. Unfortunately, in order to do so, they are pulling quite a few things from the game. Four of the six capital cities are being removed, as well as four of the character classes (two of which were considered the primary "tanking" classes for their race). The team emphatically claims that this has nothing to do with EA. Does this hurt their chances for success more than simply delaying the launch date?

    >they have fans that will WAIT until Blizzard's games come out.

    They have fans that drop out of college, quit jobs, let spouses move out, etc., for the game.

    One problem is that any other company has to compete with *that*.

    they want to avoid releasing head to head with Warcraft's expansion.

    Maye they just wanted to beat Duke Nukem Forever.

    Karma be damned, someone had to say it.
