I didn’t post much last week. Sorry. Two bits of news for you guys that you may of missed

In case you weren’t paying attention THQ is going to be showing off it’s future game, Warhammer 40k Online, at E3 this year. I’m not a Warhammer tabletop guy at all. I don’t have the figurines or the books but whenever I see someone get excited about this on the forums by saying “Blood for the Blood God”; it gets me a little giddy.

For those of you who pay attention, Mortal Online just launched their open beta. I’m not even going to give you a link because the game is shit.

Edit: Check out the comments on Rerollz News youtube video on Mortal Online. There are some… interesting? …people out there.

Have fun.

I’ve got a cycle with Warcraft. I resubscribe for a while, get a bunch of things accomplished, like hit max level in a new expansion, or gear up to a point where it slows down; then I usually cancel my subscription. At what point does the average person cancel their subscription with Warcraft? Is it when you can’t progress any further? Is it when you almost have everything you want? Where is the breaking point?

For those who follow Korean MMOG, or don’t, some might be interested in hearing about a newly announced PVP MMOG from Gala-Net, brought to you through gPotato, called Aika.

With over 1,000 quests, hundreds of monsters, and 15 gorgeously rendered areas, Aika holds its own as a thrilling single-player experience. However, it is the depth of the PvP system that sets this game apart. The world of Aika features five nations – each possessing its own distinct personality and populated by thousands – which, along with a comprehensive guild system, lays the groundwork for truly epic military clashes. Guilds and nations may ally with each other in exciting Castle Sieges to gain control of a nation and lord over its subjects, while entire nations may scheme with and against each other to win wars with glory, treasure, and powerful ability enhancements at stake.

Aika’s launch in North America marks its premiere into the Western hemisphere. It is currently being published in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Gala-Net is pleased to bring Aika to its millions of gPotato users. Aika is being developed by JoyImpact, a development studio owned by HanbitSoft, one of the largest online game publishers in Asia. Aika is expected to launch in Spring 2010.

The beta program will beginning soon, slated to start February 3rd and run through the 9th allowing players to play up through level 30.

My opinion? Sign up for beta and give it a shot. There have been a rash of PVP oriented games in the last two years and maybe this one will be fun. Proof is in the pudding and there isn’t much information to be had right now.

Rerollz is now officially one year old today. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been up for a year, time really flew by. Our goal for this year is to expand to a wider audience, get more developer exclusives, and get some more writers. I’d also like to work on some design changes, maybe a whole new design? If you guys have any site ideas please let us know, we’d really like some reader input.

From Draegan:
I’d like to say that I appreciate all of our readers and contributors. I also would like to remind everyone that we’re still looking for people to help us write whether it’s blogging about your video gaming or writing news stories. We want to to make Rerollz a better place in 2010.
