Warhammer Patch 1.1 is going on the PTS today and the servers should be up and ready by tomorrow. This patch was in development before 1.0.6 went LIVE so don't expect to see a lot of changes to 1.0.6 in there yet. The patch notes are over 14 pages long and it's much more extensive than patch 1.0.6 was.

We don't have the full patch notes yet (be sure to subscribe and get notified when it's available), but nevertheless these highlights are certainly interesting enough to read. My favorite new features are certainly chat hyperlinking and player statue system which sounds awesome.

• Open RvR Influence System - As part of our ongoing effort to encourage people to take part in oRvR, we are pleased to announce the release of an influence system geared solely to oRvR. Players who participate in this part of WAR will now have additional incentives for fighting for their realm. As part of this patch we have also made quite a number of changes and fixes to oRvR settings and NPCs as well. And as always, we have a lot more going in for oRvR over the next couple of months as well.

• New Careers For Everyone - With this version the Empire's Knight of the Blazing Sun, and the Dark Elf's Blackguard are available for all players!

• Easy Public Quests - PQs are great but sometimes it's hard to get enough people together to complete them, especially in the lower tiers. So, we are redesigning one PQ per chapter so that it can be completed by 1-3 people.

• Chat Hyperlinking - One of the most requested features by the community has been adding the ability to hyperlink items, abilities and quests in the chat window and now it has been added.

• Armor Set Rebalance - After scrubbing through our armor sets we've made a lot of changes to ensure to various armor sets in the game to make them more useful and prized by the players.

• Main Assist - RvR is exciting, chaotic and always challenging but this feature will make it just a little bit easier to help your group fight the good fight.

• Player Statue System - Nothing says "you've made it" more than having a statue with your name on it in the capitol city of your realm.

• New Content - Whether it is new lairs, new quests, new drops in dungeons, new PQ rewards and changes to items (such as cloaks), this patch is full of lots of fun new content additions to the game.
