The following Hot Fixes were implemented during today's downtime:

General Changes and Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that could cause mail in a character’s mailbox to become stuck if they logged out at the same time the mail was sent.
• Elixir of Ptra: Fixed an issue where the effect granted by this potion was not properly triggering.
• Hoardmaster Skinchange: Fixed an issue where this NPC offered equipment from the incorrect Realm.
• Hoardmaster Frerger: Fixed an issue where this NPC offered equipment from the incorrect Realm.
  

User Interface

• We have updated the method in which stores will display their inventory.  The purchasable checkbox has been replaced with a drop down menu of filter choices for the store display.  The default filter is ‘Useful Now or Later’ and presents all items on the store that can be used by the character currently or at some point in the future.  The next filter is ‘Useful Now’ which will filter the list down to only items that the character currently meets the requirement to use.  The last filter is ‘Show All’ which will include all items that the store can sell, regardless of whether the player can use the item.
• In addition to the filters, stores will now ask players to verify their intent to purchase for items that that character can never use. This message does not have an option to be turned off to ensure that players are prompted in this situation and do not purchase something they cannot use.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the first Producer’s Letter in a post-1.3.5 universe! I hope everyone is enjoying the version and the new city changes as much as we are. While you get your city on, I want to take a minute to thank all the players who came out and supported the Public Testing in the past month. We held 14 different public test events--from the exclusive guild closed tests to the stability test, to the European and North American open tests. At each test we had Mythic and GOA employees, participating, taking notes, and gathering feedback. And from that player feedback, we have put weeks of polish, tweaks, features, and fixes into the cities.

We'd like to proudly announce that we're opening up an opportunity for players to leave a lasting impression on the loading screens of Warhammer, as well as the battlefield!

Loading Screen Tips are an important part of any game's educational and entertainment value, and Warhammer is no different. With our loading tips, we've tried to tell a story for players about important tips on how the game works, as well as include some silly anecdotes about game development or Dwarfs.

Due to the upcoming holiday weekend here in the States, we will be publishing this months Producer's Letter on May 32nd...otherwise known as June 1st. We apologize for the delay, however it is necessary to cross a few "i's" and dot a few "t's" before publishing this months letter.

Thanks and we'll see you on the battlefield.

It’s Memorial Day weekend in the United States - a time to remember those who served in the military and those who continue to do so each day.  We’re proud of our veterans and servicemen and women; many of whom are our colleagues, customers, friends and family.

From all of us at Mythic, we thank those who have served.

From all of us at Mythic, we thank those who have served.

Here at Mythic we're privileged to be entrusted with building, fostering and enriching living online communities. In doing so, every once in awhile we're fortunate to be a part of something that is a truly special show of community support.

As many of you may already be aware, a player on the Badlands server, Tinkerhell, has recently been faced with the reemergence of her breast cancer. As anyone who has fought a battle with this terrible disease knows, the support of friends and family can be a source of great strength and comfort during a very stressful time. The amount of support shown by the WAR community at large, not just on Badlands but across all servers, has been inspiring. In recognition of the outpouring of support from the WAR Community, in lieu of our normal blog roll we're going to simply link everyone to the recent blog posts about Pinkfortink.

To the WAR Community, thank you for being the best bunch of WAAAGH'rs a team could ever have the privilege of representing. Tinkerhell, from all of us here in the studio, our thoughts and prayers are with you and we wish you all the best.

Update 5:50 PM EDT 5/26/2010 - We have fixed an issue where players were unable to receive items from their mailbox. In order to see this fix, players will need to completely exit the game and run the patcher.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.
