WAR (Warhammer Online)

 my bad then Khar!!    Don't give up hope though...i doubt WAR will totally exclude people who arent' CE or previous testers it wouldn't make much sense from a marketing standpoint.

Open beta won't be until august or september most likely

so we don't have any confirmed dates and these purchased codes are about as useful as the paper they are typed on?
 
 
Nice, typical EA

At least they aren't giving you some BS date that they'll have to retract later.

true,but its still anoying that they are selling the codes and no way to enter them

 

they're not selling the codes they're a promotional item for people buying the collector's edition...even if they didn't have the codes the CE would be the same price therefore you're getting something 'extra' for no extra charge.  Its a perk..and to complain over a perk you can't instantly use is silly.

Alot of games do this and most of them give them out before you can use the codes.  There's no account system yet (since the game isn't out until fall) so there for you can't enter the head start or the item codes.  As for the Beta Codes well thats just forgien companies for you it has nothing to do with EA or Mythic since GoA is its own company they handle the European website.    

EA Mythic's website on the other hand lets you enter the Open Beta key into your Beta Account...

there's really no reason to Whine or be Annoyed...entering it does nothing for you at this point anyway.  

Honestly I get tired of the EA bashing..not that I fully trust or like them (personally until they prove they've changed like they said they have and so far they're showing good signs of doing so...I'll always dislike them for their mind slaving horrible attitude towards employees). 

Bashing them over something they're giving you as a perk for being a CE pre order buyer is just down right rude if not a self important I should get everything I want right now handled to me on a silver platter type attitude.  No offense but....try and think with reason and logic more often...

I spoketo the manager ofthe store andhe knewnoting about it and now I have a preorder key for something that hasn't preordered me anything

No their isn't? we are talking £9.99 for god sakes ,get a paper round or a job . The CE/Pre-order also comes with in game items so its in your interest to buy the CE-pre-order.

If people were already planning to buy the game, and now pre-order to get the beta version of the game earlie, thats another story.

And people should stop calling it an open beta; an open beta is FREE and available to everyone. No invites, Fileplanet subscriptions or payments needed.

This should be called a paid beta.

You are not paying $10 to get into beta.  You are paying $10 out of $79 for your CE.  Withthatsaid, I do think open beta would mean open to ANYONE....but oh well, if they are letting me play the game before it is released by buying the CE, they can call it anything they want.

For other posters who bought at gamestops that have no code.....i was worries that i would get screwed so avoided gamestops and ended up buying from the bricks and mortar bestbuy....they had the boxes with the codes in it!
