From November 17th when the event launches, a new tab in the Tome of Knowledge will take players to the Live Events page. There will be a new daily task placed on the page each day, and completing those tasks earns influence, public quest style; the ultimate prize, which will require a login and task completion each day, will be the ability to play the new classes a week before general release.

The event doesn't stop there: there's also an exclusive scenario, Reikland Factory, opening up to players while the event lasts. Set in a steam tank factory, it will involve players battling for control of different areas and will be open to players of all tiers and levels, though it won't contribute to the overall campaign. Players can also earn 10% extra Renown by taking part in Reikland Factory.

What a great way to roll in a new class. I hope other MMOs take a page out of this one and include more unlockable items/classes/professions/etc. based upon achievements.

Mythic sure does know what their players want...more warhammer! I think the reward is pretty sweet.

Ya. Regardless of feelings about the game or it's content, anyone that doesn't see this as innovative and rewarding, is a schmuck.

Neat, neat idea of how to roll out a new class. Really cool to make them centered in the live event itself.

yeah, that's a very nice idea. Guess i'll have to take up the challenge. The chance to play a kotbs one week early is too sweet to give up.

Does WAR have a public or semi-public test server? Have these new classes been tested since they were removed from closed beta?
