We Built This City...
Cities are one of the ultimate Realm vs Realm goals in Warhammer
Online, not to mention a hub where players can buy, sell, and spend 10
minutes without being stabbed in the back. What will they look like and
what functions will they have? Ten Ton Hammer's Garrett Fuller had an
opportunity to see both Altdorf and the Inevitable City and shares what
they're like and even describes a few of the city sub-bosses.
Like any great fantasy adventure there are loads of
things to find in
Altdorf's taverns. There are several taverns throughout the city and
this is where players will find the quests, auctions, trainers, and
crafters. Everything is centralized at the tavern and there are several
in the city so players do not have to go back to one place all the
time. There are also quests and public quests to be found around the
taverns which can help players get to know the city and fight some ugly
monsters. Design Manager Paul Barnett did hint at a Chaos Demon popping
up in the city and wreaking havoc. For Nurgle fans Paul mentioned it is
a Great Unclean One.
