Altdorf is burning (Warhammer city siege endgame begun)

Despite hopes by the developers that Warhammer's city siege endgame wouldn't begin for at least a month, it appears the siege has already begun. Just a week and a half after the launch of the title Altdorf is burning on the EU server Karak Eight Peaks. The Book of Grudges was the first to report on the Altdorf assault, with Wizards and Wenches offering up commentary directly from the forums. From the sounds of things, there were major issues associated with the very first Warhammer city siege ... so many that Mythic might even call foul and reset things.

In some ways, this flub brings to mind the "buggy lagfest" of Age of Conan's launch endgame. Lag doesn't seem to have been the culprit in WAR, though. Instead, the final Fortress protecting Altdorf just didn't do its job. Destruction was able to gain entry and kill the final keep lord with almost no issues, with a (comparatively) tiny group of sub-40 players in not-so-hot gear. This entire thing just further exacerbates player concerns over faction balance, on top of obvious concerns about the game's extremely experimental endgame experience.
