FAIRFAX, Va., Dec 16, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Mythic Entertainment(TM), an Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) studio, has
sounded a rallying call for past players of Warhammer(R) Online: Age of
Reckoning(R) (WAR) with their new Call to Arms Reenlistment
Campaign. All past subscribers of WAR are invited to return
to the game between December 16th - 23rd to
receive special in-game item rewards and ten (10) free days of game time
to discover why WAR is now even better than ever!
Returning players must visit the Mythic Account Center (https://accounts.eamythic.com/)

accounts. Players will have access to all of their characters during the
free 10-day re-evaluation period which begins upon reactivation. No

"So much has changed on the battlefields of WAR over the past
several months, and we are giving all returning players 10 free days to
come back and experience these improvements for themselves," said Jeff
Hickman, Studio Executive Producer at Mythic Entertainment. "The game
runs faster and is more stable than ever before. We've really improved
the RvR experience - we've removed fortresses as a barrier to sacking
the cities, we've implemented the new Underdog System, and you can
always find a battle in Open RvR. There has never been a better time to
step back into the Age of Reckoning and re-join the WAR!"
