Warhammer Producer Discusses Australian Launch, Game Details, and More

Josh Drescher, associate producer for the upcoming Warhammer Online, recently had a chance to chat with Gamespot about some of the recent changes on the horizon. Good news for Australian consumers who are slavering over EA's new title, it will not only be launched in Australia at the same time as the US and Europe but local servers will be set up to allow for better play. "From the very beginning the Australian fans were very vocal. One of the first strange packages that we got in the mail a couple of years ago was from an Australian fan who sent us a bunch of drop bear stuffed animals, and he attached fangs to them and there was blood all over their faces — and was basically threatening [producer] Jeff Hickman and letting him know that if there weren't Oceanic servers, that he would send a drop bear invasion to attack the developers physically."

stuffed animals lol

Continuing the quote:

Of course, EA made sure that he got extradited and charged in the US with terrorism and crimes against an endangered species, but we all had a really good laugh about it.

Don't forget that with every major patch to the game, you'll have to go out and buy a new user's manual that tells you how to operate your character in the new rules.
