The Warhammer Herald announces that July 4th celebrations are already underway in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, offering extra XP for participants:

WAAAGH!!!

The hot days of summer are settling in and the 4th of July is quickly approaching here in the states. While we know not everyone celebrates Independence Day I think we can all agree it's a good enough reason to celebrate in game with bonus XP, Renown, and some festive fireworks to boot!

From today until Monday, July 7th you'll earn 10% more XP and Renown for kills and enemy players will drop fireworks for your amusement.

It's our way of saying thanks, have fun, and enjoy the start of summer with a BANG!
