So what's the deal, is this in beta testing just now or some sort of public trial?

Was going to fire up WoW the other day (been inactive for a few months), but I'd like to try this.

Too late, Beta was supposed to end an hour ago but they extended it a few hours, so you are a bit late :) So now all you can do is wait for future trials or get the game. I can safely say, this is the best MMO I've tried since WoW and I think it's a bit better actually (Y)

And I just found out normal pre-order has headstart on the 15th and not the 16th, woot :woot:

That is good to hear, but turns out I won't be pre-ordering and getting either early starts. Oh well still going to get the CE version. :)

What latest news message.
Dear all,

More than 100,000 European players have now created characters and launched enthusiastically into the violent and bloody battlefields of the Old World every evening. Despite this, for many of you and for us as well, the launch of the open beta has left a bitter taste. While it is true that the purpose of Beta Testing a game is to indeed expose problems before a game launches, the launch did not happen anywhere near as smoothly as we had planned.

Because of this I have decided to offer seven free days to all of the beta testers. If you decide to continue your adventures in WAR, and we certainly hope you do, you will be credited on your account from the 18th of September and will be able to take part in the adventure without any regret. By the beginning of next week, we expect many more to join us as we open the gates for our Head Start, and we look forward to welcoming all of you in the Warhammer world.

Best regards,

Ghislaine Le Rhun

*waits for trial* I will not buy anything that says "EA" on it without being able to demo it first. Loved Warhammer as a Games Workshop IP, though. (Spore got crossed off my list when the executive producer said there would be no demo.)

It looks like World of Chorecraft so far, but ya never know. ;)

Does that mean any char we create we can keep?

Since nowhere around here is allowing pre-orders of the CE verison, I will be picking up my CE Warhammer Online on 10AM on the 18th.

I am glad that they are giving an extra 7 days, but I have not heard the same for the NA version, let's hope for that.

I don't believe so, its just if you buy it, you get an extra 7 days. But only if you register that new key with your beta key.

I am against having to pay for a game then having to pay monthly for it, what they should do is let you download it and pay monthly per account, rip off merchants x(

Anyway, I might have to get the game anyway as I found it rather fun and a nice way to unwind at the end of a day, but I'm still angry at having to buy the box! 37 day free trail for open beta testers is quite nice of them though, I might have to cash in on that :p

its not a 30 day trial, when you buy the game you have 30 days that is free, after that the monthly payment thing starts.

But with the beta bla bla, you get 7 more days beyond those 30 free days that you get from buying it.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
