Mythic announced today its first plans to expand its PvP-centric MMO, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Those of you who are familiar with expansion packs may already be setting aside your $20; however, WAR’s first expansion, Call to Arms, is going to be rolled out for free as a series of live events over the coming months. The content of the expansion is going to consist of three in-game live events, a new RvR scenario, the introduction of a new dungeon zone called Land of the Dead, and two new career paths: the Orc Choppa and the Dwarf Slayer. The expansion will also introduce a free trial version of the game for those that haven’t yet given WAR a try.
