Mythic released some pretty cool news yesterday:
June Producers Letter
1.36 RVR changes Dev Discussion
http://forums.warhammeronline.com/warhammer/board/message?board.id=dev_discussions&thread.id=10655
Perhaps some of these are the changes Ben has been alluding to and teasing us about in vent? :)
I quite happy to see them shifting some focus back to open field RVR. The Against All Odds bonus should make defending keeps, enclosed BO's, and generally running bomb groups/melee trains into zergs very rewarding as well as fun. Up to a 400% bonus to Inf, xp, inf RPs. The changes to Sovereign Armor makes me very happy. While the devil is in the details on this one, seeing Mythic finally willing to change the end game RVR armor set at all is a big step forward imo. Zone flips will no longer include PVE or Prior tier contribitions. This makes me a very happy dwarf indeed. May i never see a zone lock lost due to having to grind PQs while the muppets take a BO again!
There's plenty of other stuff as well. I'm rather optimistic with where Mythic is heading this summer. Now if they'll just let Craythur ride a Black orc piggy...

Groovy Mythic News
Response:
These sound as good news, indeed. But I guess they will have to come up with another incentive for the PVE, then. I guess the initial idea behind the PVE contribution to the RVR was to bring PVE lovers into the spotlights too. They were "useful". But it seems we're somewhat lacking in the "PVE lovers" side lately. On the other hand, i really liked the "previous tier" contribution to RVR. Gave me a bigger sense of integration between fronts. The consequence will be obvious: the first 3 tiers will be less important to most people from now on. About me, i like the first 3 tiers anyway. And... err... I'm a PVE lover too. =)
And there's more yet to be announced and should revitalize the lower tiers. Fasten your seatbelts mythics about to rock your socks off. Foogy of the cellphonetextingclan
*loosens Socks to meet mythic half way* I like the direction things seem to be going!
I just can't wait to read the whole news. Are there more insider coverage at the WAR website?
we have additional features that will bolster gameplay within Tiers 2 & 3 but we are not yet prepared to announce them. Michael J. Wyatt Designer/Lead RvR, Encounters, Live Events, Content Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning=)
Being a core tester I get access to the good stuff however I'm not aloud to talk about it. I can however say its a much needed change and something people have been saying for a long time plus an added bonus.
I will take your word for it, brother. =) Is there a release date for the next patch?
I havn't seen it announced anywhere yet, but Games Workshop's monthly magazine "White Dwarf" is reporting the following... "And, in a White Dwarf exclusive, we can reveal that your characters will be able to own a series of pets and familiars that will bring the Warhammer World to even more vivid life." Pictured with the article are illustrations of a Bulldog (with eypatch, peg leg, hourglass on the collar and purity seals over it's back), a Bear (standing upright with a Kossak hat, and a drum chained to it's neck), and an Owl (wearing a baldric with imperial crest and messages attached). Personally I'm happy with my Dwarf Ale Carriers, but I am curious what Mythic have in mind.
