Warhammer Online Celebrates the Holidays with Boasts, Toasts, and Things that Go Boom in the Keg End Live Event and In-Game item giveaways with MMOzine

Get into the holiday spirit with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's newest live event Keg End! Running December 18th January 6th, the armies of WAR are invited to celebrate the Dwarf New Year festival of Keg End, a fun-filled extravaganza packed with the things Dwarfs like best - beer, boasting and things that explode. Whether letting off fireworks as they charge into battle or searching for prized beers during the capital city pub crawls, there's plenty for players of Order and Destruction to do to earn rare drops and elite Influence rewards.

Heroes eager for glory can search the battlefields for the legendary Golden Stein to earn the blessing of Grimnir himself and partake in its frothy goodness. However, players are warned to watch their flank as the Ogres have caught the scent of blood and beer and they're thirsty for both.

True to the spirit of Realm vs. Realm, the Keg End live event also introduces a new emote - /boast to taunt your adversaries. You can also grab a free beer and /toast your comrades-in-arms to receive special Tome of Knowledge unlocks.

Keg End is here, so celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year with mud, blood and beer! Learn more about the Keg End live event at www.war-europe.com.

Additionally, in the spirit of this season for giving, GOA have teamed up with MMOzine, part of Cranberry Publishing's stable of free downloadable games magazines, to bring European players the chance to nab an exclusive in-game item by simply being one of the first 50,000 players to download the latest issue from www.gamerzines.co.uk. Don't miss out on the chance to get an edge over your RvR rivals!
