So far the Twitter feeds are rolling in, seems to be confirming a lot of speculation. Skaven look to be a Monster Play mechanic, but in order to play them you have to buy and download a small patch, and they only exist in RvR. Whoop-de-fuckin-do.

monster play... and they call it Warhammer MMO... go figure. political corectness ftl.
Lame..
Could have been so cool...
If you want to hire Machete to kill the bad guys, you better make damn sure the bad guy isnt you!
About what I expected although I thought they'ed be just limited to certain world events.
There might as well not be a world it all feels like a series of mini game maps. No lore or story or anything, the way they constructed it doesn't even feel like a world.
Agreed. The world goes unused for the most part. I came back for a couple of months last spring and most people were just hanging out in the city and Q ing SC's. It is a shame as the Warhammer lore is some of the best in fantasy. I enjoyed the questing when the game first launched but the world seems empty now. I dont see this MP type addition helping any.
WOW isnt great because it has 12 million players. WOW has 12 million players because its great.
It would be very costly and take a lot of time to add a 3rd faction this far in. It could be down but their not exactly raking it in money wise so i assume this was the best they could do.
Should of had the 3rd faction from launch
Rvr only??? Man I should have seen the writing on the wall when the developers cut classes and cities in the beta.
Never again will I waste cash on a over hyped mmorpg before I get a solid play through first.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
Were you honestly expecting them to become some type of 3rd faction?
I mean really??
All you ever read about is how the game is in maintanence mode, it will be shut down by the end of the year, its going F2P next month, and/or how theres barely a handful of developers even working on it anymore.
Yet, somehow, people actually thought they were going to introduce playable Skaven, a 3rd faction, with all new Skaven quest lines, new Skaven classes, gear, art, and I suppose Skaven zones.... as well as butterflies and rainbows.... all rolled up into a Warhammer expansion?
C'mon... were you really?
Seriously??
Warhammer is what it is, its a niche game for somewhat casual PvP/RvR types. Its not going to get a whole lot better than it is right now. They don't have the resources to add massive additions to the game. Theres more than enough posts on this forum alone for you to figure that out....
I would think....
Seriously.
