Multiboxing Warhammer Online about to end?
Multiboxing Warhammer Online about to end? | It is confirmed that EA Mythic has just laid off a considerable amount of its staff that was working on Warhammer Online. While I know a lot of people have thought about multiboxing WAR, it appears that the days may be numbered for this multibox-able MMO.
Gamasutra is reporting that another 80 layoffs have hit Mythic Entertainment as well as several other Electronic Arts studios, although Mythic was the only MMO group to feel the sting of sudden unemployment. That would equate to 40% of the team, which would make for a brutal staff blow. Our best wishes go out to everyone finding themselves without a job and we sincerely hope they all find steady work as soon as possible.
What does this mean for Warhammer Online, exactly? In light of the new Endless Trial it seems like EA is doing everything it can to squeeze profit from the project, which began with a bang last year, but unfortunately fizzled out soon after Wrath of the Lich King hit. And now with Mythic assisting BioWare on Star Wars: The Old Republic, along with maintaining Dark Age of Camelot and Ultima Online, you would be forgiven for seeing dark clouds collecting in the skies above.
Nevertheless, there should be people still working on new content for Warhammer Online, at least in theory. So hopefully we’ll hear something soon, such as a boxed expansion, which would raise spirits quite significantly at this point.

I used to play Warhammer miniatures, very expensive about 200 bucks per group, it was fun. Still have 15mm Ancients figures Vikings, Myans and some others. Most painted but very dusty, haven’t played in 15 years.
Did you paint them all funky colors?
The Ancients I painted them according to the colors in the massive amount of books I bought. So hopefully they were authentic. I especially liked painting the group, cant remember what they were now, with leopard skin cloaks. The Warhammer mostly in greys and silvers and yes flesh was fun to paint.
I was too detail oriented to paint a lot of armies and used the wash method of coloring to get the most realistic look.
Would be cool to see some pictures in our forums of these
