Warhammer Online official forums are up

These forums haven't even been officially launched yet, however, some observant folks over at the VN Boards unofficial WAR forum noticed them and the word is starting to spread. It's pretty hard to sneak one past people on the Internet! You can log in to Warhammer Online's official forums with your WAR account username and game/account password (some people are reporting issues, so try using a combination of both).
Once logged in, you are prompted to enter a screen name and confirmation email. After setting that, you're good to go. Currently, the forum seems to be set up for the Public Test Server and 1.2 patch with subforums for announcement, general feedback discussion, RvR focus discussions, various combat and careers discussion, and bug reporting. This forum is embedded as a tab within their official WAR website. Mythic announced these forums a couple weeks ago, so it seems they are moving quickly on their word. We had a chance to speak with two unofficial WAR forum administrators from the VN Boards and Warhammer Alliance about how these official forums might impact their businesses. There was even some discussion surrounding things official forums can do that unofficial forums can't and vice versa. It's only a matter of time before we see how these forums will truly develop.

So if you no longer subscribe/never subscribed you can't view the forums? Lame.

How is that lame? That is the way many games have been, and keeps people that have no interest in the game from making useless "bitching" posts that no one wants to hear.
Besides, there are plenty of public forums to go chat about WAR in, if you are so inclined.

Many forums don't let people without an active account POST on their forums, but almost all of them let you read them.

Hmm, okay. Well, this one doesn't I guess.

Exactly. God forbid I'm considering coming back to the game and want to read what people on the official forums are thinking.

Are we even sure that the ability to view the forums WON'T be put into effect once they are out of beta?

It's their way to hide the amount of people complaining about how bad the game sucks, turning potential new costumers away.
I keed I keed.

Guess I'll have to turn to WHA forums if I am ever interested in coming back.

It's one of those things (Like having features to keep balanced order and destro populations) that has been a VERY long time coming. I'm glad Mythic has finally pulled their collective brains a bit further out of Mark Jacobs ass and got this done.
