Today marks the start of WAR’s first expansion “Call to Arms”. The Bitter Rivals event will start on March 3rd (Today) and will be available for download via the WAR Patcher. This event will allow players to gain access to the much anticipated careers of the Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer. There are a lot of improvements and new editions that will hopefully bring back players
and relay cement WAR as the RvR/PvP MMO of 2009. We are very excited about the latest information from Mythic:

“Call to Arms will introduce WAR’s next two careers, the Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer, and ends with the unveiling of the Land of the Dead, a massive new Tomb Kings dungeon zone!”

February also brings details on WAR’s upgraded Recruit-A-Friend program and a 10 day FREE trial of WAR for FilePlanet subscribers.
