A lot of EB games in Canada seem to not have the beta keys... I don't know if it's only remote regions and they get it late or if they'll even get it at all. Try to call a different EB games and make sure to say that it's a new beta giveaway that started last week.

The only other place to buy for canadians is EAstore.com and it looks like it's not even a download but a box, there was a shipping fee written on mine. If it's like that I'm going to cancel after I receive the key, no way I'll wait 7-14 days and pay custom fees for this game.

I was about to pre order from the EA site as well, until I saw the shipping time. No way I'm waiting 1-2 more weeks.

The exact same thing happened to me, pre-ordered and got no codes or anything. And whats even worse, you can't even order online off the Canadian eb games site. Who ever is running that site should be spanked, it's terrible.

At times like this it sucks living here in Canada.

Ah hell, why can't they just invite all veteran newsletter subs to the beta already!

1 yr is totally unrealistic. It took WoW 4 yrs to reach 10 million subs. There is no way WAR will steal enough to surpass it within 1 year. Especially since the expansion is releasing soon.

Ok so I pre-ordered the game today from an EB games store and when I asked if the pre-order came with any bonus offers they said they didn't have anything... Anyone else get this same problem with EB games? Or is it just that they forgot to send codes to some Canadian stores... lol

lol... Thank you for reminding me why I stopped and why I should never go back. I played a rogue in WoW but even so, there's no way of denying that they've taken rogues way to far with that. 20 secs of stun, or better yet, 3 or 4 ambushes within 10 seconds... no thanks, I'd rather have a challenge.

A Warhammer 40k MMO could be a kick ass game if done properly. Hopefully THQ can pull off something nice. But anyways I chose both because I really do enjoy both IP's and couldn't possibly predict which I would play considering neither one is out...

While I really do enjoy the thought of seeing an actual release date, I wouldn't get too overly excited as that could just be an estimate on EA's part. If it indeed is the real date, then I'm sure we'll hear about it in the newsletter in just a few days. Hold on to your hats!

Good article. I like how he finished it off - "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a contender." Always nice to read some positive feedback 

Well if 3 (and then later on 4) of the simplest BG's ever created in the history of mankind ended up keeping the attention of millions of people worldwide for 4 long years, then I don't see why keep and city capturing, along with the 30 or 40 something scenarios and battlefield objectives should have a problem. 

Btw I'm not giving WAR nearly enough credit just by listing those things. There are several more I just don't feel the need to mention them because it would just be a waste of time. I think I know some people like you.

Here, I have a comparison in my favourites for moments like these.

To finish, like many of you I pre-ordered the game, but I tell you want I am willing wait another 6 months and  play a game the content I was promised since 2006. Rather  than plaing a game based on what I consider  a rush semi completed product based on a financial decision.

 

Well sure, that's easy for you to say, you're in the damn beta!

lol seriously though, I see what you're getting at but I have waited waaay too long to play this game. At this point, I'll take whatever I get. (As long as it's acceptable to me)

Your standards are pretty low.

Go watch the Gears of War 2 trailer and then go watch the Warhammer Online's one lol........ pretty hard to not throw up at Warhammer Online.

This is probably among the stupidest comments I have ever heard on any forum...

Hmm... I must say, even after all the disappointment I felt yesterday and today, reading Mark's post eases my pain. That's not to say that I've completely gotten over it, but I can feel my hype slowly rising again.

It would be nice if weather effects did do something like. Going against heavy storm wind slow you down but going opposite direction actually make your character faster. Ranged DPS classes would be able to turn it benefit.

That would be an awesome level of realism but I would hate to be the person who had to come up with the program that would be able to do that.

lol... Good point

Missing a few classes still...

Actually only one. Although it's probably already finished, they just haven't told us what it is yet.

Animations are the key to good gameplay in MMOs.  Sadly thats where WAR is lacking atm.  Just look at that warrior priest and wonder how tired u be of seeing it stand in that position for the next 2 years....  But it might explain why the arms look way to long and will probalby in the end get all the way to the ground - holding that heavy mace....

Its just poor.  Very poor.  Animations need huge amount of work.
