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.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99. Marshall Major V Midnight Blue - $89.99 | 47% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
