Keg End Event

It's time for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's winter live event: Keg End!

Running from today until January 5th, the armies of WAR are invited to celebrate the Dwarf New Year (the festival of Keg End), a fun-filled extravaganza packed with the things Dwarfs like best - beer, boasting and things that explode (OK, so it's the things dwarves like second best). Whether letting off fireworks as you charge into battle or searching for prized beers during the capital city pub crawls, there's plenty for players of Order and Destruction to do to earn rare drops and elite Influence rewards.

Heroes eager for glory can search the battlefields for the legendary Golden Stein to earn the blessing of Grimnir himself and partake in its frothy goodness. However, players are warned to watch their flank as the Ogres have caught the scent of blood and beer - and they're thirsty for both.

True to the spirit of Realm vs. Realm, the Keg End live event also introduces a new emote - /boast - to taunt your adversaries. You can also grab a free beer and /toast your comrades-in-arms to receive special Tome of Knowledge unlocks.

Keg End is here, so celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year with mud, blood and beer!

In closing, I will say that Mythic have already had several in-game events in the short time Warhammer has been online. I think this can only be a good thing and bodes well for the future.
