Thanks EA!!! :-/
Yes that is right, Warhammer's final day will be gone December 18th. As it is past Sept 18 you can no longer buy 3 month passes. Here is the link from the Dev's. http://www.warhammeronline.com/article/Warhammer-Notice-Shutdown
Best wishes to those who still like this game!

Are you suggesting they should have kept it open longer even without enough playing it to meet its numbers?
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

There was great disappointment with WAR's handling by EA, so much so that it seems the next license publishing is being granted to Activision ... WAR40k (Dev = Behaviour)
I'm sure the non-renewal wasn't an oversight .. rather a calculated rejection from GW against EA's botch job

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
Let's see here...
No expansions? As in, actual new content expansions? Check.
12 races/Factions in the world, and WAR only uses half? Check
"Tiered" levels, no exploring the WAR world? Check
Constantly breaking the game with failed patches? Check
In 5 years, WAR got 3 good updates - Slayers and Choppas, Knights of the Sun and the DE Tank class, and Khemri, which was pretty awesome. But no Bretonnia, No Sylvania, no New World or far east - it's as if they didn't even try developing a Warhammer world, aside from the Tomb of Knowledge.
Hopefully, one day, a developer will put out a Warhmamer Fantasy game that the IP deserves.

Non-renewal of the IP might have been mutual - 40K has always been a different part of the IP so it could have been renewed.
Renewing the IP would have cost money. If the offer had been high enough GW would surely have said yes. But with relatively few players EA wont have wanted to pay a great deal - if anything. At which point GW will have decided they might get more in the future.
