<a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com/"><em> Warhammer Online</em></a> players have things to be thankful for this year, not the least of which being the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/11/20/waging-war-inside-patch-1-4/">1.4 patch</a>. And as the end of the year approaches, it's the traditional time for players to celebrate the passing of the old year in the game via copious amounts of liquor and the usual helping of ultraviolence. That's right, it's time for <a href="http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=1441">another round of Keg End</a>, with Order and Destruction alike taking part in the festivities and competing for chances at the coveted Golden Stein.<br />
<br />
Aside from the boastworthy exploits of the festival, players will also have giants to face off against, with special rewards for those capable of felling these enemies. There are also rare world drop items for players to look for, including your own personal keg handler or a battlebrew backpack. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Warhammer-Online/"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> players are encouraged to take a look at the official preview of the holiday event, which runs until January 4th to ensure that everyone has plenty of time to ring in the new year with a proper toast. Or <a href="http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=1441">a proper inebriated violent rampage</a>, one or the other.<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/2010/12/14/ring-in-the-end-of-the-year-with-warhammer-onlines-keg-end/">Ring in the end of the year with Warhammer Online's Keg End</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 14 Dec 2010 21:00:00 EST.

It's been a tumultuous time for <a style="" href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> of late, but the new executive producer <a style="" href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Carrie-Gouskos/">Carrie Gouskos</a> seems to be well-suited to weathering the storm. She's been overseeing the development of the game since February, and under her direction it's moved more and more steadily into an RvR focus. We recently were lucky enough to get a chance to talk with Ms. Gouskos about her involvement with the game, her opinion on the game's state, and what she could let us know about its future.<br />
<br />
<strong>Massively: In the simplest terms possible, what is <a style="" href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Warhammer-Online/"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a>'s development focus at the moment?</strong><br />
<br />
Carrie Gouskos: Now that we've gotten through the <a style="" href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/war-patch-1.3.5">1.3.5 patch</a> -- and this is about to surface for the players, but obviously, for the developers, we're always kind of looking at least a little bit ahead, sometimes very far ahead -- our next big thing is sort of twofold. One, I kind of made a renewed commitment to some of the more major bugs that I really want to address. But really, our major one is open RvR, and addressing some of the issues that our players have brought up to us.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/05/12/our-talk-with-warhammer-onlines-carrie-gouskos/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Our talk with Warhammer Online's Carrie Gouskos</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/2010/05/12/our-talk-with-warhammer-onlines-carrie-gouskos/">Our talk with Warhammer Online's Carrie Gouskos</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 12 May 2010 15:00:00 EST.
