Welcome to the Ulthuan.net Warhammer Online forum!

What is this forum about?

This forum is the place to be if you want to discuss the Warhammer: Age of Reckoning game and, in particular, the elven side of things (though discussion of other aspects of the game is permitted).

Please note that threads relating to the tabletop game or background not connected to the story of WAR are by and large not considered to be on-topic for this forum, and are likely to be either moved or deleted as is necessary.

Rules, requirements and requests
  • 1. When posting in this forum, always remember that you are discussing a game. Treat it as such when posting, but also when reading other posts. This means that there is to be no flaming or trolling of other people. If you feel that you are being flamed or insulted in some manner, then use the Report Post feature (the little ! in the top right hand corner of the offending post), and one of the Loremasters or Heralds will intervene if necessary. Note that time spent on the forum does not grant you immunity to anything.

    1a. To define both trolling and flaming:

    Trolling is classified as a post intended to offend and/or annoy another poster. Obviously, this is a fairly wide range, so it will be the Loremaster or Herald dealing with the problem who makes the decision on whether or not a post can be classified as trolling.

    Flaming is classified as insults of other members of the forum. You may critique an argument, naturally, but restrain yourself from attacking the person behind that argument. Debates are fine, but they should not degenerate into personal attacks.

    2. Make sure the title of your post clearly reflects the content. A good title covers at least the type of thread (discussion, game news, etc.) and the subject of the thread. "Has anybody completed the <insert>?" is a good title, while "Help me!" is not.

    3. When responding to a question, ensure that the advice you give is clear, concise and most importantly reasoned. Doing otherwise will hinder moreso than it will help. Posts that don't follow this guideline have a much higher likelihood of being marked as lazy and thoughtless (deletion may follow soon after) - if you're not willing to expand and explain your reasoning, then don't give the advice in the first place.

    4. With reference to the point about advice being both clear and concise, ensure that you use a modicum of proper grammar and spelling. This way, your posts will be easier to understand and thus assist others in giving advice and opinions.

    5. In relation to point #4, do not attempt to reprimand or otherwise derail a thread by calling into question the spelling and grammar of other posters. If you think that the post in question is bad enough that it is difficult to understand, then report it. However, also note that this is not an excuse to post like you are a five year old child. You may be more accustomed to speaking rapidly and using abbreviations in the game itself, but this is a forum, and there is no time limit on how long you have to type a message.

"Hi guys, I just want to say that for some unknown reason I dreamed the entire Lore team was on my roof last night and we were barbequing a marlin while discussing some rand stuff. It was vivid enough for me that my mother had to wake me up to stop me from mumbling and twitching, believing I was having a nightmare." ~Giladis

"Think of the Loremasters as irresponsible parents. VictorK is the one you need to talk to if you want permission for something, I'm the evil parent that says 'no' and Eldacar is your grumpy grandfather who fought in some war and is scary and authoritative." ~Ruerl Khan

"And believe me, I like my websites like I like my boyfriends: wild, free, and unlikely to give me a virus." ~Sirist
