If there is one thing Mythic likes to do with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, it's throw players into a pitched battle with lots of carnage. If you had to pick something else however, the clear choice would be live events which seem to occur almost monthly. From battling the ghouls of Witching Night to finding sand castles in Reikland Factory, they seem to be a cornerstone of the game and provide some interesting flavor. The newest of these is called Keg Day which brings together the beauty of beer, explosives, and dwarves which always promises to be entertaining. An official preview of the event reveals a lot more just below.
The wheel of the seasons has turned, ushering out the sun's last warmth with bitter blasts of northern winds. As snow
creeps down to block mountain passes and lock the Warhammer world in the icy talons of winter, the citizens of the Old World
raise their mugs high; the time of Keg End is at hand. In an epic celebration fraught with boasting, toasting, and epic
fireworks, the Dwarfs clear out their stores of ales, beers and other intoxicating beverages in order to bring luck in the
New Year and make way for a stock of better, stronger brews.
Cheers, Beers and Jeers in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Get into the holiday spirit with WAR's latest in game event- the Dwarf New Year's festival of Keg End.
Running from the 17th of December through to the 5th of January Keg End is a festive extravaganza packed with great new
items, monsters, events and challenges for players to master. Keg End is filled with the things Dwarfs like best - Beer,
Boasting and things that explode.
Whether you're letting off fireworks as you charge into RvR or searching for beers on an Altdorf Pub crawl there's plenty
to do for Order and Destruction alike. Search out the Legendary Golden Stein to benefit from its damage boosting aura of
Frothy Goodness, or compete with your friends to do the best bit of bragging the Warhammer World has ever seen.
Keg End introduces a new emote- /boast (of course) for you to fire off at your adversaries. Make sure you set it to macro
because there are rewards to be gained if you do it just right. You can also grab a free beer and /toast your comrades in
arms to receive special unlocks.
Keg End is here, with the mud and the blood and the beer!

The Golden Stein

The legend of the Golden Stein is a tavern story told by Keg Masters to Beardlings and grizzled Longbeards alike for
generations. It is said that this Stein has been seen once again upon the battlefield, and whoever possesses it will be
gifted with the blessings of Grimnir himself.
 
Ogres
Ogres have been drawn to the fields of battle by promises of blood and beer. Those who dare to face these massive foes in
battle will have a chance to receive one of Keg End's special rewards.

Blasted Snotlings!
Snotlings have infested old ale stores across the lands and stolen a highly volatile mixture of brews. In the right hands
these explosive brews could be put to good use, but with the way these thieving little creatures behave, both Order and
Destruction will have good reason to track the Snotlings down before they consume everything!
Toasting the New Year

In standing with the Dwarf tradition of Keg End, WAR will offer a variety of beverages that players can obtain by

rare drops on enemy players and the Ogres and Snotlings who will inhabit the land only for this event.
