50 Warhammer Online tidbits from Games Day 2008

Saturday the 14th, the Baltimore area was invaded by High Elf fanciers and waagh-lovers, as the 2008 Games Day season got underway. Warhammer Online was there to show off the most recent iterations to the game, and there's plenty of coverage online as a result. If you want to check out some fantastic videos of the Q&A sessions and live gameplay, the fans have got you covered. Likewise, the WAR forums are going crazy with enthusiastic discussions of the latest updates.

Probably the best resource for folks interested in the past weekend's activities is over at the Waagh Blog, as Syp runs down the 50 most interesting things mentioned in coverage of Games Day. He did one of these for Massively's coverage a ways back as well, and it's well worth taking a look-see. Here are this blogger's top five favorite Warhammer tidbits from Syp's list:

• Servers will have population caps on each side to keep them balanced between Order and Destruction. Most MMOs have server population caps; WAR will have realm caps.
• EA Mythic is already planning the first two years of release, the first two big content patches, and is currently in pre-production into the first expansion pack.
• The top 10 renown PvP guilds get their heraldry displayed in or near the guild taverns.
• Mythic rep on system requirements: "Any PC within the past 3 years will more than likely run WAR without issues."
• A Station Pass option for all of EA's MMORPGs, a la SOE? "Under discussion."
