Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Interview

Gameplanet offers an interview with associate producer Josh Drescher, talking Warhammer Online.

GP: We learned more about city sieges in Warhammer Online in Singapore this year, but our readers wanted to know what happens after you have eventually booted out your invader. Is it a complete rebuild from scratch, or do some of your previous achievements remain standing?

Josh: It depends on how successful the invasion was. Our Living Cities have five levels of content in them that enemies can destroy during an invasion. So a Rank 5 city that is invaded might only drop to Rank 4 if the invasion isn’t successful in destroying enough parts of the city. It’s also possible that it will be knocked all the way to Rank 1 by a very successful invasion.

Once an invasion ends, you have to rebuild from whatever point the city was reduced to though we never allow core functions like trainers, merchants, etc. to be destroyed.
