WHY SEGA SHOULD PICK UP WARHAMMER ONLINE: AGE OFRECKONING
How about a petition to SEGA/Creative Assembly to pick up WAR? There are many good reasons:
SEGA already owns rights for warhammer fantasy.
SEGA/Creative Assembly aquired the rights about a year ago. And even if they started developement right away, the release dates for the new games are still 1 or 2 years into the future. WAR could fill the gap.
Small but steady subscriber base.
WAR has only few subscribers, but they are mostly hard-core WAR-players who kept their sub during hard times and wont abandon WAR easily. This should generate enough money to keep the 2 servers running and pay a (maybe half-time) developer.
F2P nearly done.
If you believe what you hear from several sources, the F2P conversion was nearly complete (Ekrund event incorporated some of the aspects:http://www.etaew.net/2013/09/20/warhammer-online-free-play-proposal/). When WAR goes F2P many veterans will take a look at WAR again, increasing player numbers and likely subscription count.
Over 1,000,000 Accounts.
As of September 30, 2008, WAR had sold 1.2 million copies and had 800,000 registered users. This should sum up over the years to more than 1 mio. accounts of players interested in mmos and warhammer. Even if most accounts are inactive, many will give WAR a try when it runs under new management or even goes F2P.
Sourcecode, assets etc. should sell cheap.
With Mythic stacking failure after failure, they can use a bit of cash income for selling out WAR. The cheap version would be to only acquire the server software, though then implementing addons will be difficult. Buying everything, including client software, assets etc., would enable SEGA to truly continue the WAR business.
New content on the horizon.
Missing cities could be added after they are adjusted to the changes done to the game over the years. And the Vampire Addon was at least in an advanced planning state, some assets even made it secretly into the game client.
Wrath of Heroes
Yes, Wrath of Heroes is pro, even if it was a great failure. But with less greed, some design changes and more respect to warhammer lore it could do great. Take World of Tanks as example: F2P with 15vs15 Battlegrounds (yes, no 3rd side): it appeals to all kinds of players, from causual to pro. And WoT is a great success with up to 200,000 players on their servers.
WAR is a great inspiration for new warhammer games.
Even if WAR isn’t top notch graphic wise, it grabs the warhammer fantasy feeling like no other game. Many talented designers, artists and programmers worked on its creation. It could be a great inspiration and source of ideas for new warhammer games, even if those games are no mmo (Creative Assembly’s Total War series is a combination of turn-based strategy and real-time tactics).
SEGA can shame EA.
Simply by doing it better – and this shouldn’t be difficult considering the last years of WAR.

I would LOVE to play WAR:Online again, and couldt imagine that there is a F2P model with some little buyable "helps" (Store, like many MMO´s have) like a RR booster, Mounts, or Potions to buy. I know of MANY People that miss WAR and want it back badly. Even i myself wouldt help to organize and work on a huge community promotion so WAR will gets to an old form like at it´s release (f.e. Advertising for Games Workshop itself, so some will try out the Tabletop-Game too)
Done well, this game would obliterate others. Hardcore pvpers/rvrers would flock to this knowing EA and Mythic were out of the picture. The artistry, creativity, passion and time that went into this majestic game shouldn't be thrown away. WAR deserves to live again! Do it Sega, do it GW!
I know 100 players that would jump right back in ,granted that's not a lot, but generated by just 1 players contacts,thats pretty good !
I love this game and I was waiting for it to move into a free to play mode because I felt $15 a month was just too much for what you got. Now I am hoping someone will pick it up and run it the way it needs to be run
This game needs to be saved as there is nothing like it out there just an amazing PvP experience and it brings to life the Warhammer world so well that after five years of playing the game still blows me away...
Our GTA 5 Butcher and Cheats online is completely free and anyone can have recourse to it. You do not need to become debilitated your real money anymore while buying the Understood GTA 5 Money or Reputation which you habituated to to acquire from ROCKSTAR Event or from any third party and may many times you got scammed by these Well-heeled and RP seller. http://www.googlep10.com
I love the Warhammer univers and this MMORPG needs support and be alive

I have played almost from the beginning of WOL, paid over $100 for me and my sons first copy, and still think it is the best of it's kind.
