Click here for the full announcement from EA Mythic on the launch date of Warhammer Age of Reckoning. WAAAGH! will rule the world on September 18th, 2008. The sales numbers will be phenomenal. Also, congrats to everyone who picked up a North American Collector’s Edition and sorry to the rest of you who weren’t able to since they’re sold out. But you can still get some nice perks from pre-ordering a regular copy of the game. Hopefully there won’t be issues with the pre-order companies distributing awards on time, or selling more than they really had to the likes of what happened with the Age of Conan launch. Grab your tent and camping gear, let’s go! -ziss@lagwar.com

Age of Conan podcasts, blogs, videos, and reviews such as The Hyborian Herald are popping up everywhere these days so it’s pretty easy for a potential new player to get the low down. But personally I’m afraid that the unhappy loud minority of AoC players and former players may have already tarnished a game with great potential. Hopefully sites and podcasts like Lagwar and The Hyborian Herald can get our message through. The game has come a long way since launch. Honestly, the AoC launch was really smooth for me. But by the forums and other web boards, AoC outsiders may not know that quite a few of us had great launch experiences. I didn’t experience any client crashes or any problems with the servers either. The main problem has been, and still is to some degree for me, the memory leaks. The video above shows a problem I experienced about a month ago with some type of memory leak. Within the last few patches this game has soared by leaps and bounds in gameplay and smoothness. The game plays steady for the most part now as compared to launch when you would tend bounced from 60fps to 10fps. Read the rest of this entry »

Lagwar’s first Guild and Clan Spotlight is in the works! We’re very excited about the launch of our first spotlight and the whole process has been a blast.

Lagwar Presents…Show #1 was recorded last night, 08/03/2008. This is basically an introductory podcast explaining Lagwar.com and our mission. Also, we talk about Lagwar’s first upcoming Guild and Clan Spotlight. Our first guild/clan nominees have been chosen and we currently are putting everything together to post. Brilen and I discuss our latest gaming experiences which includes Age of Conan, Call of Duty 4, World of Warcraft, The Sims 2, and a few others. As with any podcast it’s a work in progress and we’re very happy with how Show #1 turned out. We will try and post this up sometime in the next day or two and also will be on iTunes and Zune Marketplace.
