Welcome to the Warhammer Online Grab Bag, where your friendly neighborhood community manager will answer the most popular, and most interesting, questions in a new regular feature. Many things aren't yet certain, so try to be patient with us. Trust me - we're as eager as you are to see the features finalized, so that we can hear what you've got to say.

A: At present, there are no plans to include the Purple Hand for the game’s launch.

A: We are actively looking into this as a payment option for WAR and hope to have them available at launch.

A: We have an entirely unique storyline and quest suite for each of our six armies at launch. In a way, we are offering six games in one with unmatched replay ability. There are no current plans to break these quests out further by class, so your Witch Hunter and your Warrior Priest friend will be able to complete both simple and epic quests together.

A: When you kill a player, there’s a chance that there will be items on the corpse. And as the killer, you will be able to loot the corpse. Said items are generated much in the same way as loot on an NPC would be. You’re not actually taking the person’s gear you just killed, but you CAN get loot for killing other players.

A: Technically, you could join up almost immediately after starting the game. If you know your way around the zones, you can run through the starter areas to the first warcamp and travel from there to your capital city. From your capital city, you can travel to your friend’s first warcamp and run down to his starting area. For those with more patience, you should be able to join up after approximately ten hours of play.
