patch yet and kick off the first installment of Call to Arms with a
BANG.

Event you're helping to make WAR even better.

Creating your account is as easy as logging in with the same username
and password you use to play the game. Join in on Developer hosted
Focus Discussions, help hunt bugs in the Bug Report forums, and share
your feedback on everything else - the forums are still in development
though, and we're working out the kinks. We'll have them looking snazzy
or prime time! 
 
There's a whole list of things to see and do with 1.2 - starting off
we're focusing on the new career improvements and balance changes as
well as Zone Domination, crafting changes and easy Public Quests! 
 
Coming soon we'll be releasing the Choppa and Slayer for your testing
delight! Command these sworn enemies as you clash against a tidal wave
of raw power and experience the brand new Rallying Cry mechanic as it
summons you to conquest and glory! We've got a few action-packed weeks
in store - we hope you're ready.
