World of War....*cough**cough* excuse me, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning or WAR as it has come to be known as by the media, gamers, and even Mythic Entertainment is getting a little festive this month with a WARwide celebration. The forces of Order and Destruction are all invited to Realm-wide pub crawls (a tradition very familiar to the college crowd) for an end of the year drink-a-thon hosted by the Dwarfs. Of course what kind of celebration would it be without something or someone to fight right? It seems some pesky ogres are crashing the party and players who crash back can uptain special event loot. So everyone, let all acquantince be forgot and kill the Snotlings!

Mythic Entertainment Decks the Halls of WAR

with the Start of the Keg End Live Event

 

The Dwarf New Year celebration of Keg End has officially begun and the festivities in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning are in full swing! The forces of Order and Destruction are now invited to join a Realm-wide pub crawl across the Old World as the Dwarfs drain their old barrels and casks in hopes of good fortune and better brews in the New Year.

 

Of course, holidays in WAR are never just for celebrating, and this one is no exception. Ogres have been drawn out of hiding by the scent of beer and blood, and those who challenge them in combat may be rewarded with special Keg End loot. Snotlings have also been discovered in ale stores across the world, and the special brews they’ve snatched could prove extremely useful for Order and Destruction players alike.

 

Even more incredible are stories popping up about the legendary Golden Stein, a powerful relic that bestows the blessings of Grimnir himself on whoever possesses it. Rumors say that it’s been spotted on battlefields across the Old World, but only the daring and dedicated will be able to unravel its mysteries as the New Year approaches.

 

Light your fireworks and /toast a friend, because Keg End has begun and the WAR rages on! Learn more about the Keg End live event at www.warhammeronline.com.
