Warhammer Online NA open beta begins September 7th
Filed under: Fantasy, New titles, Warhammer Online, News items
Oh, excuse us, we must have had some kind of green- thing, in our throats. So anyhow, everyone who pre-orders the game (at select retail partners, of course) will get to play free of charge for just over one week until the game launches on September 16th. Also, all testers in the closed beta will automatically receive open beta access, too. What's interesting is that there is no mention of the open beta rank 20 level cap spoken of on the official pre-order page. It's probably just happenstance, but the omission is a bit odd.
If you're just too impatient and want to know everything that can be known about Warhammer Online as soon as possible, then check out our pre-NDA lift coverage of the Dark Elf and High Elf content, tiers one and two. Also, watch out for full coverage of every race and more from Massively as soon as the NDA is fully lifted.
[via Press Release]
[Update] Added source and updated post to reflect information on the official pre-order page
[Update 2] There appears to be an official open beta website, but it's currently down.

Wow, that seems quite late for the OB, although I wasn't planning on playing in beta so I don't have to re-do content when its released.

Pre order is also supposed to give a head start on the live servers.
It's kind of disappointing that the OB is only for a few days.

That's hardly enough time to do anything unless you're taking time off to play an OB. =P
I can't pretend to know all the inner workings, but you'd think they'd have everything ready to go within the next week or so, unless they're planning on putting servers together at the last minute. "Beta", what are they testing? I would assume they're stress testing, but if something breaks, there's not much time to fix it.

I pre-ordered it from Amazon but have not got my beta code yet. Rather annoying it has to be said.
