well you can download open beta client already.. and it was said many times cb op early start clients all are totally same and will get patched. and considering most of us works.. and if emails are in the morning its fine tbh even if you take time off, you might have it before you wake up :)

anyone in europe receive their codes from the EA store..i purchased the digital download and they have charged my credit card but all i have received so far is an order conformation.

No one that has ordered from EA have received their codes yet, there has been mixed reports that EA will either send out the code withing 3-10 working days from your order date or that they will send you the code on the 6th/7th this month.

Quote from Only-War.com forum:

tufty:
"Update on EA, Ea have replied 2 my question bout beta-codes, EA have said that from the date that you pre-order the codes will be sent to you via e-mail, within 3-10 days.
hope this helps people ino it has helped me"

I'm at the last stage of cancelling my preorder from EA store, yay!

Sending the last four digits of the credit card.

Hope they won't ask for my pet's blood test now.

3 emails to the EA store and nothing but yesterday i informed them yet again that i want to cancel my preorder and also told them that i was getting my bank to block the transaction.......within a few hours my order was canceled thank god.

GME.co.uk have now put up on their site that they now have limited amount of headstart codes and ingame items.

No idea how many they have and also they have been taking pre-orders since march so it may not even be possible to get this if you pre-order now but looks like EA couldn't really ignore the big retailer in the end.

heh and i cancelled my preorder today to get from play.  Got a reply from a woman there that they dont know if they will get any or not.

I want to order thru D2Duk now, but cant get past the authorisation stage, will try at work 2moro and see if  a change of ISP works.

For interest my isp is SKY and im in UK sent a ticket but no response yet.

Finally I could cancel from EA. Funny, at the same time I recieved the cancellation email, they sent also this:

Good News!

As you may have noticed, EA Store UK are now offering Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning at £34.99 instead of £39.99. We are aware that you have currently pre-ordered at a higher price – but don’t worry you will be charged at £34.99.

For more information on Warhammer Online please visit the website: www.war-europe.com

If you have any questions, please contact customer services

I didn't cancel for the price, but for the absolute silence about the beta codes. Anyway it's good they lowered the price.

direct2drive has now reduced in price to 29.95.  Still cant order though, have tried with a 3g card, work internet (country error) and at home and no luck.  Whats the point of the service if you cant use it....

still waiting for my key, maybe they will release the keys when  key validation is enabled on the war europe website *fingers crossed*

Well, I've now given up on the open beta.

I've tried all the possible options open to me to order though Direct2Drive.co.uk but everytime now it's country restricted.  My ISP got bought like a lot of others by Tiscalli.  So my connection is via Amsterdam I wonder how many others (as Tiscalli are if not the biggest, one of the biggest ISP's) cannot buy because of this reason?

Eastore.ea.com was as everyone knows apart from me it seems an absolute pile of £$%*.  I ordered twice to have it cancelled twice with no explanation (System cancelled order - what is that suppose to mean to me?) My ea support ticket was answered by a complete moron who knew virually nothing about the release and just spamed me a pile of %^&* .  Heck I even told him about what D2D had said (see earlier post).

I'm going to order the SE with Early start and bonus items now from play, will wait until we get a little feed back from open beta europe.  Hopefully this time as GOA are in it from the start we will get the very lastest version of the game?

See you there, Hoody 8)

sigh... still no word back from customer support, this is the 3rd day.  If i knew what the error was I could at least try and fix but how helpful is,

Your order can not be processed at this time, please contact customer services for help.

arghhh, if this isnt sorted by the 7th then im not even bothering.

So no one has received their keys from the EA store yet then?  someone mentioned that GOA are sending out the keys from the EA store, i hope this is incorrect or we could be waiting weeks for them.

I've given up on D2D, but found a site for Open Beta keys (EU only i presume)

http://www.fileplay.net/keys/warhammer

Create an account and request a key, easy.

Just an update on this: I received the first of my open beta access keys tonight after ordering 2 copies from EA Store (UK) on the 29th of August, just waiting on the second one now. It was in two seperate orders so the second should hopefully be sent in a few hours.

Thrilled.

now just need to hope that GOA open up the account management page sometime soon, id rather not be fighting against the site with 1000's of other people all trying to get their beta codes inputted..

I'm still waiting for my keys from the EA store. A site can give away 50,000 keys, yet EA is too fucking lazy to send out keys that have been ordered.
