Road to WAR Website Launched
Last week Mythic launched their "Road to WAR" website, allowing users to declare their allegiance, recruit friends, gather gold for the fight, and participate in a simple battle for self, state, and realm every week. In addition to the "prestige" of being on the leaderboard, you also have the ability to win in-game items and titles for launch. Looks like they really are hitting the warpath.
First, here's the actual site: http://www.road-to-war.com/
Next, it's down for maintenance, which I guess is temporary but not a good time for an announcement.
This is, though, a better way to promote the game than monthly emails with new information that amount to "no you're still not in the beta."

I hope someone Mods him down. Everything he's said is slanted. Spreading FUD, as AC no less. Cities were cut, because they made the 2 cities so huge, they didn't want to take another 2 years building the other 4 to the same size. Blizzard's IP is based off of WARs IP, I thought everyone knew that... Content with WoW? Sure, I suppose. But as for the leveling up, WAR will level a lot faster than WoW, absolutely. No PvE Endgame? Says who? The King fights ARE PvE, and are the only announced endgame content I know of.
Good bad or ugly a lot of Aussies are going to play this just because it has servers based in Australia. Hooray! Goodbye 500ms pings!
I played Warhammer Beta... it's alright, fun even. But it's a MMORPGer and I just don't have the time for the grind any more :(
