Loading... That's 909 editions whether you post the number forwards or backwards.
First, the Ten Ton Pulse, your finger on the beating heart of the MMOG industry.
If the Top 10 isn't enough, we also show the Top 20 and Top 50 lists as well, available to everyone on our homepage. (What is Pulse?)
Warhammer Online - 200 BPM World of Warcraft - 90 BPM Age of Conan - 35 BPM EVE Online - 11 BPM Aion - 10 BPM Tabula Rasa - 9 BPM Lord of the Rings Online - 7 BPM Everquest II - 7 BPM Vanguard - 5 BPM Runes of Magic - 4 BPMI promised that something big was coming. Danny hinted at it in the forums, but we couldn't say anything...until now!
TenTonHammer.com has beta keys to the two hottest MMOG titles in development and they are about to be yours! Not only do we have Warhammer Online beta keys, but we also have Stargate Worlds beta keys!
Who loves you baby? TenTonHammer.com does. So does the Stargate Worlds team and the good folks at Mythic Entertainment. The only place in the Interwebz where you can get beta keys to the two hottest upcoming MMOGs. Let me write that again for those of you still in disbelief.
We have Stargate Worlds AND Warhammer Online beta keys.
Here is how it works. We have 10,000 Warhammer Online beta keys to hand out. As always, our Premium Members get first shot at the keys. I can hear the questions already, "What if we aren't one of the first 10,000 Premium Members?" If you aren't one of the first 10,000 Premium Members to grab a key then you won't receive one for Warhammer, BUT... every single Ten Ton Hammer Premium Member gets a beta key to Stargate Worlds.
A huge thank you to the team at Stargate Worlds for making such an incredibly generous offer. Another huge thank you to the team a Mythic Entertainment for giving our 10,000 of our readers beta access.
Enough reading... get playing

Ten Ton Hammer Epic Thread of the Day [Thanks Karen Hertzberg]
Sometimes they're funny; sometimes they're foolish; sometimes they're flaming;
sometimes they're cool. Whatever this one happens to be, it's
our Epic Thread of the Day.
====================
From our WAR: General Discussion Forum
Future Warhammer killer
Aghshar
says it's coming, and it's the game that's going to put Warhammer
Online in its place. "Who is going to play Warhammer when a game like
this one is coming out?" he cries. And what is the WAR killer to which
he refers? Is it Stargate Worlds, maybe? Or BioWare's new MMOG in
development? No; it's far worse. It's...Hello Kitty Online. Consider yourself warned.
Awesome Quote from the Epic Thread:
"We all mock...but this will likely be bigger than WoW. I'm making the prediction right now. The IP is worldwide and known by
almost every female under the age of 30 not to mention it enjoys iconic
status in the East. You really don't think they can pull 10 million
females in? Keep in mind it's Free to Play." - RadarX
