The long awaited MMO from Mythic is being delayed again until this fall.The reason for this delay is simple : they need more time to tweak some important aspects of the game.

"During the most recent phase of beta testing, two things have become clear …One was that our key innovations–Public Quests, Tome of Knowledge, and Realm vs. Realm combat–were all coming along extremely well, as was the first stage of our innovative crafting system. The second, that the game would benefit from additional iteration time as well as adding a layer of polish or two. Fortunately, as part of Electronic Arts, we are able to do just that." said Mythic’s president Mark Jacobs.

The good news is that Mythic announced a MMOG’s collectors edition : Warhammer Online:Age of Reckoning Collector’s Edition.The Warhammer Online Collector’s Edition includes some cool things like a Gameshop Miniature,an original graphic novel , an art book.

As for the In-Game content,the box containes two items ,new quests ,rewards and titles.Unfortunately only 60 000 units will be available…and only in North America (fuck!).I’ve been playing WH Soulstorm a lot these days and the fact that this collector’s edition will be available only in NA comes as a huge blow to me.Oh well…it seems that I’ll have to wait for the MMO.

I just learned that those who buy Command and Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath will get a chance to beta test Command&Conquer : Red Alert 3.Wow,how nice of them to do that.If you didn’t see the pics from RA 3 ,you can go to my Red Alert 3 - Short Preview page and check them out.
