The Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning community is filled with innumerable bloggers, posters, and generally excited fans. One such individual, Syp from "Waaagh!", fits every single one of these categories. Frequently bringing up great discussion points, he muses on a number of topics regarding Warhammer Online current events. RadarX of Ten Ton Hammer spoke with Syp about his gaming experience and picked his brain about lore, the balance of game mechanics, and much more.

Ten Ton Hammer: Finally, we've just learned that the German Collector's Edition has sold out at Amazon.com. Do you think this is a good sign?

Syp: I purchased mine and couldn't be happier. I don't think there's a downside to CE's, unless there are gamers out there who truly want one (or the features contained within) but can't afford them. CE's are a huge "thank you!" to the dedicated fan who wants to jump start in the game with a premium taste in their mouths. I hope we keep hearing more and more countries selling out their CE's, as this is a great sign that Mythic's built up a serious fan base. You have to be, to pay $30 extra (and $80 on the whole) for a title that won't be out for at least a half of a year. If they can sell a CE, they know they have a better-than-average chance of retaining that customer for a long time.
