Ten Ton Hammer gave you
Josh Drescher's E3 Blog. Ten Ton Hammer went the extra mile to give you the chance to read
Paul Barnett's blog from Comic-Con. Now to complete the triumvirate, Ten Ton Hammer is proud to present our exclusive
Warhammer Online blog from the Penny Arcade Expo, which has been written by Executive Producer Jeff Hickman! While Josh and Paul attempted to get your favor with epic stories and moments of humor, Jeff has pulled out all the stops and gives you straight up WAR info along with his blog. If that wasn't exciting enough, Jeff has also promised to read and respond to any direct questions we receive here in the Ten Ton Hammer forums! Need more? Make sure you check back in every day for the continuation of our exclusive Jeff Hickman WAR Blog from PAX!

As for PAX itself? It should be absolutely incredible. The show has a lot going for it, and is growing to be “the” North American show to go to and be at as a game developer. And we couldn’t ask for better timing. WAR is three weeks to launch and counting, our game is riding high on very positive beta reviews, our presales are through the roof, we have hit the mark with the game and PAX is the final leg on our world tour – our last place to show off before we launch. It is going to be awesome!

Update #1
As the Ten Ton Hammer staff promised, the next part of
Jeff Hickman's WAR Blog from PAX series is alive and kicking! After an exhausting day (and apparently a crappy mattress later), Jeff went back to his room, sat down and answered
all of your questions that you posted on the forums yesterday! On top of that, he's given us a report on how things have been progressing at the Penny Arcade Expo and given us an inside look into his pie eating habits. If you think you can handle more
Warhammer Online information, jump into the blog then head back to our forums to get your questions answered!

QUESTION FOR JEFF: Are the lairs solo or grouped and do they work like public quests?
ANSWER: Most of the lairs involve fighting the monster who inhabits it (it is a “lair” after all). These monsters are generally very high level and very difficult to kill. With this in mind, it is probably a good idea to bring a trustworthy group of friends with you when you go exploring for them.

Update #2
The Penny Arcade Expo may be over, but there's still plenty of information left to be garnered from the show. Case in point, the last segment of
Jeff Hickman's exclusive WAR blog series has been posted, which features a large number of questions our readers posed to the
Warhammer Online executive producer. It was a monstrous list, but the Hickman did not disappoint and answered twenty of the inquiries that sprang up
via the forums. Along with the questions, Hickman also pointed out a few of the more interesting moments from PAX, including his encounter with the
seven foot tall WAR fan. Enjoy!

QUESTION: I am curious what the Warhammer team thinks about the initial character balance?
ANSWER: I think we are in a great place actually. There are still some kinks to work out, but we are hitting very close to home at this point. We will, of course, pay very close attention to this and continue to tweak as needed.

Although the blog has reached its conclusion, we'd like to encourage all of our readers to continue posing questions to the Warhammer Online staff on
the thread originally started by Mr. Hickman's blog. We're
constantly doing interviews with the crew from Mythic, and we always enjoy it when we can gather questions up from the individuals that really matter: the fans!
