At some point in a person's life, there comes that inevitable moment
where you decide that two of your favorite things should be combined.
You like

target="_blank">scrambled eggs?
Mix the two together and see what happens! Although the previous
example may end up simply tasting like beer-covered eggs, the
developers behind Warstorm decided that card games and MMOs should be
blended together, thus creating their current product. Ten Ton Hammer's
Cody "Micajah" Bye takes a peak into what Warstorm is all about and
asks team lead Matt Deegler why the company decided to make an "MMOCCG".
"Warstorm
is designed so that no player needs to spend money to get
into the game," Matt said. "In Warstorm we give all new players a free
initial deck to be used to build their first squad. With this squad a
player can begin their journey, earning additional card packs as awards
for beating NPC’s in missions, reaching higher levels and
accomplishing
battle achievements. Some rare cards are unique awards for achievements
that require effort, not money. This means that a good deck can be
built based on free-to-play awards."
