Large Warhammer Patch In December, Two New Classes

Eurogamer reports on an announcement from Mythic CEO Mark Jacobs regarding the future of Warhammer Online. Jacobs said the first big content patch will be coming in December, and it will contain two new classes, the Black Guard and the Knight of the Blazing Sun. These are two of the four classes lost to the pre-launch content cuts. A number of other changes are on their way as well. "The Knight of the Blazing Sun is described as a tactical leader using Battlefield Commands, while the Black Guard is simply 'the embodiment of hatred and disdain.' The arrival of the two new careers will mean that every race in the game has a damage-taking tanking archetype. Of the originally planned careers, only the Dwarf Hammerer and Greenskin Choppa, both melee damage-dealers, will remain on the cutting room floor."

Re:Wow

The names lack all forms of inspiration

As opposed to, say: "Paladin", "Warrior", "Rogue", "Mage", "Warlock", "Shaman", "Priest", "Hunter" and "Druid"? Class names like those tend to scream out "Creative Thinktank!"

People kept saying WoW = Waiting on Warhammer. I'd just like to know now that warhammer online has been out for a bit, was it true?
