[Official] Warhammer Online

No location around here has that $1 thing, not that I know of. And to pre-order now, the cheapest comes to $63.26, sorta sucks.

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:

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?

im not sure there ingame yet i have not read anything about them if i had 1 i would send it

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.

Hey, I like EA!

As for the member who said the only pre-order comes to 60 some odd dollars... You need to get a "Pre-order GAME" not necessarily buy the game its self.

Those in the EU (and ONLY in the EU will it work) who need a beta key:

WAR beta key give away

Have to be quick though!

Check to see if you have a founders account on Fileplanet from your Comcast internet. Just checked and I got my beta key for free.

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.

Apparently it's a working week. Though I'm sure it'll drop to 2-3 days come release. :p

[gregb0b]

If you had the Open Weekend access you were granted two extra days to open beta which started today!

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).

[Minimoose]

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 :(

6k + more beta invites !!!!!!

Wow I actually got one from there, FINALLY!!

THANKS Spork!

[Sethos]

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?

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

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

Anyone got a link to a faster download?

[Sethos]

I'd check out various torrent site, tons of them have the Beta clients up.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Yes but just as slow most likley.

[Dev Null Zen]

Hooray for guild ftps!!

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.
