No, there isn't keys to give out or invites. The only way to access open beta is being a closed beta/Elder tester, Collector's Edition/ Standard Edition preorders or belonging to FilePlanet's and Founders' Club Exclusive Access. Sort of a misnomer calling it open beta, isn't it?

I have beta tested it and find the game extremely appealing to say the least. There is bugs in the last build, but this is the most polished of any I have seen previously.

Here's a link to one of the major Warhammer forums, take a look around and see if it might be something you are interested in.

They made it clear way back before CE pre-orders started that OB would be open to anyone with internet.

All I can offer is this page:

http://www.warhammeronline.com/faq/index.php#ans3g

and the Beta signup page:

https://betacenter.eamythic.com/login.php

Concerning the beta sign-up, I think it is still taking applications, worth a shot and it's free.

Other than that, you could post in the Warhammer forums to get a better answer. I personally wish it was open more, but I'm not running the show.

So, can someone who is already in the beta send a invite/beta key to someone? Are they doing that?

Only testers in game at the moment are Elder. Who are hand selected by Mythic due to their excellent feedback. So In short, not yet :p

With you being in Europe if I manage to find a key I'll throw you a PM but I should have a spare account lying about from a guild member who is moving soon so I'm sure he'd be happy to relinquish that as he has the CE too.

Still no word on being able to patch with the fileplanet client?

I am pretty sure I read on Warhammer Alliance that the Preview Weekend client will be able to be updated to the Open Beta and Head Start clients when appropriate. There is also a grace period of sorts after official release to input your real cd key so that your play time will be uninterrupted.

Is it just me or does this just look like WoW? I've been looking forward to this game for ages but it just seems to have slightly updated graphics. Can anyone in the beta enlighten me in changes, and maybe positives and negatives.

Also I thought Warhammer had machine guns and explosives in it rather than focusing on melee and magic :s

The trailer is very good though.

No they don't, the similarities are there because blizz nicked the IP. But that can't be helped. WAR is much, much darker.

Yeah. :/

I could C&P the patch notes but it would help if you told us what you want information on!

All of the classes are C&P from the lore (xpt the Zealot which was constructed for WAR).

haha, sorry, for some reason I remembered WoW being better graphics than that :laugh: Thanks for the comparison image.

Well I shall have a nose around the site and forums, it does look promising but I don't think I will get it since I'm busy with college atm :(

So, I used a Proxy to get a hold of a US/AUS/NZ key from Fileplanet last week and downloaded the client.

Now I got one of these keys as well, which points me to download the same client and register at the same website.

Well there be two different regions for the Open Beta or can I join European servers with my US key account?

Fileplanet download for the client sucks, waiting in line and slow download.

Anyone got a link to a faster download?

I wasn't aware fileplanet had an EU link to the client. :/

Correct, there will be US and EU betas at the same time.

No you can't join the EU servers with a US account, hell you can't even enter a US key on the EU website.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
