Europeans can boast another world-first in <em>WAR</em> as <a href="http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=278075">Order members of Eltharion took down Tchar'zanek</a> only a couple weeks after <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/06/first-legitimate-city-capture-in-warhammer-online/">K8P took down Karl Franz</a>.<br /><br />One of the biggest pre-launch worries about <em>WAR</em> was that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/07/warhammer-onlines-realm-imbalance-fears/">Destruction would boast a huge population advantage over Order</a> and continually dominate. Players were a bit worried when Destuction was first to capture a city, but, albeit on a different server, this return strike by Order bodes well for the game's future in terms of realm balance. The true test of balance, however, is whether or not Order on K8P or Destruction on Eltharion can capture a city.<br /><br />We will call this capture legitimate even though <a href="http://www.warherald.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=739">Mythic announced that they are making some changes to the king encounters</a> based on what happened after K8P took down Franz. Tchar'zanek was killed before the new fixes could be implemented.<br /><br />Ironically, this marks EU's second world-first even though <a href="http://wnw.blogwarhammer.net/2009/03/02/the-book-of-grudges-is-growing-heavy/">some EU players feel they are treated as second-class citizens when it comes to <em>WAR</em></a>. Congratulations seem to be in <em>order</em> *cough cough*, so cheers! Oh, and to you NA players... hurry up, why don't ya!?<br /><br />Video after the cut!<br /><br />[<em>Via: <a href="http://biobreak.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/war-battle-of-the-bulge/">Bio Break</a></em>]<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/15/war-order-bites-back-tearing-down-the-inevitable-city/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>WAR: Order bites back, tearing down the Inevitable City</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/15/war-order-bites-back-tearing-down-the-inevitable-city/">WAR: Order bites back, tearing down the Inevitable City</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:00:00 EST.
