WAR NDA (probably) ends next week, CE pre-orders to join closed beta
Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Forums, Launches, New titles, Warhammer Online, News items
Jacob hopes that the nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that prevents current WAR beta testers from publicly discussing their experiences will end next week. He noted that three issues have been preventing the team from taking that step so far, but that progress has been made and resolutions are imminent.
The other big news: folks who pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of the game will soon be invited to participate in the closed beta test. This is probably only a small win for those folks, given the rumors that the open beta is a couple weeks away. Jacobs declined to confirm a date for the open beta, saying that the announcement will come when the game is 100% ready. Not committing is a wise move in light of the problems Age of Conan had in its open beta event.

That's really good news :D
But also really bad news, since I preordered the CE and will be far away from my PC for nearly two months starting next week :'(
So now when I finally play the game, I'll feel like every other person has a maxed out character :/

YEA!! I really want to learn more about Warhammer so hopefully a flood of movies, screenshots and blog entries about the game will arrive. This will help me make the decision if I wan to buy it or not.

I'm looking forward to seeing some straight forward screenshots of the UI, I hope it's like what were used to with WoW and AoC. I hear it's totally modifiable from within the game.

Thanks for posting this, probably would have missed this otherwise!
Glad they kicked in some extra CE benefits to differentiate it from the regular edition :)

It would be nice if they gave us collector edition owners more than just an extra week in Beta. Hard when so many people get invited and you have been on the list since the start, bought the CE the day it was available, etc...
I realize fans are not always the best beta testers, but still... I want to get a crack at this game!

Yeah they should give us bonus items that make us do more damage in pve, A bunch of customizable heads, a beautiful Orc Minature and 2 hardbound books... or something like that.
