+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted September 2, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted September 2, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S00N3R FR3AK Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 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. http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/index.php They made it clear way back before CE pre-orders started that OB would be open to anyone with internet.

Sanvean Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 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.

(Spork) Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 So, can someone who is already in the beta send a invite/beta key to someone?

Spookie Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 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.

gregb0b Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 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. Check out http://www.warhammeronline.com/preorder for more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalam_ Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Still no word on being able to patch with the fileplanet client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacer Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregb0b Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If you had the Open Weekend access you were granted two extra days to open beta which started today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimoose Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Is it just me or does this just look like WoW? No they don't, the similarities are there because blizz nicked the IP. But that can't be helped. WAR is much, much darker. I've been looking forward to this game for ages but it just seems to have slightly updated graphics. http://img523c.imageshack.us/img523/6872/warvswow6teik3.jpg Yeah. :/ Can anyone in the beta enlighten me in changes, and maybe positives and negatives. I could C&P the patch notes but it would help if you told us what you want information on! Also I thought Warhammer had machine guns and explosives in it rather than focusing on melee and magic :s All of the classes are C&P from the lore (xpt the Zealot which was constructed for WAR).

Minimoose Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 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 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethos Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted September 6, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted September 6, 2008 Fileplanet download for the client sucks, waiting in line and slow download. Anyone got a link to a faster download? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware fileplanet had an EU link to the client. :/ Well there be two different regions for the Open Beta or can I join European servers with my US key account? 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.
