I just read an article today that said this is still being worked on. I don't have any intrest in it but I know you and others did. Apparently the game isn't being backed financially at the moment but progress is still being made. They're hoping for a release in 18 months.

Sounds like vaporware but it could still happen.

Thanks for the update. I did a search of gaming sites, and spotted this on Homelanfed

The newest issue of PC Gamer magazine has a Q&A with Climax CEO Karl Jeffrey who states that development of their MMORPG Warhammer Online is still continuing at the UK developer. The game, however, will no longer have any financial support from Warhammer's owners Games Workshop, who pulled their formal participation from the game earlier this summer. According to the interview, Jeffrey says that Games Workshop continues to support Climax's work on the game in a non-monetary way. A release date for the game is still up in the air but Jeffrey states in the interview that they are hoping to launch "approximately 18 months from now".
