Paul Barnett blogs Warhammer

As I was looking around this evening, I stumbled across one of Paul Barnett’s recent blog entries concerning Warhammer Online.

Presentations

So on Thursday we have a team meeting and all our strike team leads have to put together presenatations about what they are doing, the problems, the solutions, the new stuff, the cool and all that.

I sat through them all yesterday, the guild one is funky, the PQ one is clever, team badass was just that badass! RVR was very detailed with loads of new ideas and great thinking. Careers was so good its being made into two presentations (one overview and one big hairy here it is!). Tome of knowledge was great as usual and Jeff’s leadership one is a class act.

So I went to talk to marketing, and now we will be filming them and hopefully we will be able to relase them to you good people, worse case scenario we will ship them in the collectors edition, best case we can roll them out in the news letter. And thats fabbo news because the talks really help explain and show you what we are doing and WHY!

Best of all I don’t have to give a talk so I guess I get to heckle from the back.

Hmm.  Interesting take on the different teams we saw in the first beta update.  He certainly seems excited about what the RvR team is doing and that’s a good thing given the whole pvp flagging issue.  New ideas and great thinking – coming from Paul I’m not sure how to take that. 

I like that Careers is so meaty that it’s getting made into two distinct presentations.  That’s easily one of the most interesting parts of War and I’m always anxious to hear more information about the careers.

Kind of interesting that they’ll include these “behind the scenes” presenations with the collector’s edition, but I hope we can also see them now as part of the future newsletters. 

I continue to be impressed with the amount of information that’s shared with the fanbase, whether it be website updates, hands-on at various Cons, podcasts, interviews or their newsletter.  There are a lot of games that will leave you hanging for weeks and months without anything new, while War has seemed to provide a pretty steady diet of info (with occasional quiet periods).  It sounds like these presentations will be quite informative, so I’m hoping we get to see them in the next few weeks.
