Wait! Read Chapter Two first!

    The pounding of Ghurlak’s flat feet along the canyon floor sounded like the beat of a war-drum as the runty Orc came thundering down the mountain towards Bagrash Runtchucka’s cave. The choppas he’d looted after the fight with the stuntie war party felt good in his gnarled hands; Ghurlak slashed at the air as he ran, exulting at the hungry, whickering sound they made. He hacked at the scraggly trees growing from the canyon walls, just to feel the solid thunk of impact and hear the splintering of wood as the crude weapons sheared through trunk and limb. When the rock walls pressed close he swiped at them as well, striking arcs of orange sparks from the stone. By the time he reached the fire-lit cavern at the feet of Black Crag, the edges of the iron blades were jagged and bright.

Hey Everyone,

My name is Jeff Skalski and I’m the WAR Producer here at Mythic Entertainment.  Some of you may know me from various Mythic podcasts and interviews I’ve done over the years on RvR and Land of the Dead, but today I get to share with you my first Producer’s Letter.  I hope you enjoy the read and if you actually like it, I might write more of these in the future.

Continuing where my boss Jeff Hickman left off, I want to provide more details on items you can expect with our upcoming 1.3.0b patch, and a little bit of a sneak peek into 1.3.1.  Just one small disclaimer — I don’t want to cause anyone anger or emotional distress if something I discuss slips to a later patch.  In this professional field, anything can happen at a moment’s notice, especially that which is unplanned. Besides, being rather excited for what we have planned and currently in production, I’d rather not hold back too much. Consider this an insider look into what we’re working on.   Our plan is to continue to be more open with our community, so I’m sure you’ll be hearing more from me and others over the coming months and years.
