Getting a WAR beta key:  $0.00

Making a Fileplanet account:  $0.00

Realizing you have to wait in line for 100 minutes:  Priceless

P.S.  Are these keys for the whole open beta, or just the PW?

GOOOOOOOOLD RUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!

Thanks MMORPG.com! I just got one from Target today but the code was never guarenteed and although I got into the Head Start, the Open Beta key didn't work. What good timing! You are now the best MMO site ever.

Mike - the PW+ is only for people who were in the first Preview Weekend, so these keys are for the whole Open Beta, which starts Sunday.

10 hours to download.

i have fp premium so no que for em :)

finally....signed up for the original beta a year and a half ago and application never got passed the "applied" stage...

now why can i not be at home to get it going...boo

 Ty

Just wondering...game downloaded, beta key in and accepted~ can I not patch until the 5th? No patch till can play in OB? I have preorder :) thanks to any who advise me

Woohoo!  Thanks Admin :D

Bah, lucky! I have a 78 minute wait now
 

would the beta client on the newsgroup be fine to download instead of dealing with file planet?

well atleast its free :)

Yes.  You don't have to use fileplanet.  The one up on the torrent networks or newsgroups work just fine.  Get whichever one downloads fastest for you.

Thanks for the post, guess i will give it a go after all.

Anyone have a link to the torrent, probably better then filthy fileplanet (a "service" I deeply despise)

 mad props to mmorpg.com

I wouldn't mind a torrent link myself. I just got kicked from the que list because the servers were apparently full.

Great stuff guys, This is the best thing ever my bday is on sunday and a free beta key for WHOL wat could be better. :)

Got a key, thanks. 

FYI.  When I tried to get it approved using Firefox 3, the fileplanet approval process failed with "Invalid code" error.  When I tried it using IE 7 it succeeded.

hey i got a key (thank you mmorpg.com) and i have a free fileplanet account, but im really not getting any conformation from my download manager that the file is waiting to be downloaded.

anyone have a torrent link?

or help on how i can get the warhammer file in my dl mgr, unles it will just pop up when the file becomes avaliable

*edit*

Yeah i guess you have to click on the preorder link if you have a key (Eventhough i havent pre orderd)

now would the eu client work for america any way? only one i can find on the newservers

Is the fileplanet link JUST for the download?

And you enter the key into your Mythic Account page to actually apply it to your account???

The instructions are very brief...

much love to mmorpg.com

Woot! tyvm

Click on the link on MMORPG.com's page.  That takes you to Fileplanet where you login and authenticate the key with fileplanet.  You will have to authenticate the key(assign it to your EA/Mythic account) with EA/Mythic also.  It's part of the process.

Congratz to everyone who get's one. I hope you enjoy it! :P

Post here links to the EU torrent on Mininova.

Geez, I only noticed this newsbit because I was coming here to read a different one - and jumped on this immediately, getting a key (woot!).  But they were almost half gone already, and I hadn't even received the mail alert yet!  The mail alert showed up a few minutes later.  Talk about going "like hotcakes"...

Thanks, MMORPG.  Now I can check out the game properly without having to pre-order on faith.

but this needs the NA client

Cool, just got mine.

Sweet !!!

Where does it say that?

Thanks. I've been waiting for Amazon to get their act together. When they finally do send me one I guess I'll be giving it to a friend.

edit: I've heard of a torrent for the EU client, but nothing about US. Anyone got a link?

out of keys now.. wow that was fast.

got my in time.. phew

YES i got one

Damn I was too late:(

errr i got a code....but i accidentally refeshed the page with the code...i tried going back to the same page.. but i cant.... doesn anyone know a way for me to get the code back?

This happened to me too

Not me.  But for future reference always perform a "Save Page as..." to your hard drive on any page used to distribute authentication keys.  Don't rely on anyone sending an email with the key included or keeping a certain web page alive.

The US client should be on thepiratebay.org

Bah, this is what I get for beeing on the wrong timezone and sleeping when something like this happens

I take it the patcher isnt up atm? I try to run the patcher and i just get booted back to login, gotta wait for the big day i guess.

This is the same problem I'm having.  I did activate my beta account successfully on the EAmythic website, but can't log into the Mythic patcher either.  I suppose I will try it again later, but I would have thought they would have had this up by now to lessen the flood of patch downloads when beta opens up.

I am still not able to get pass the patcher

how many ppl are having this issue

You really have to love people who can't or don't take the time to read.

Beta does not start until the 7th at the earliest.  Trying to connect to the patcher now is an exercise in futility.  Next time I suggest you read when the beta is to start.

yeah dont try to patch haha it wont recognize you yet you have to wait until the 7th which thank god is freaking tommorow!

sorry for the stupidity guys

 So depressing i didn't get one!

Looks like WAr developers invest a big amount of money in advertisiment

How's the Fileplanet download going ?
5h+ waiting seems a bit... redicolous, and I don't expect it to be a good speed, either, as soon as I get a slot. :(

Any good, 3rd party sites to DL ? Maybe Torrent or something ?

Oh just great.. so I didn't get a key because I was asleep? That's whack!

Could someone confirm that there are US or EU keys?
I already got mine from pre-order, but I am trying desperately to get another EU open beta key for my brother in-law.

If anyone got any input on that or even a spare EU key it would be much appreciated.

Definitely for US only, I got the chance to test the key in the 5 Minute timeframe where GOAs Registration Server was working today, EU Keys have 3 more digits.

Hi all,,

I just downloaded the client but I found out that I need a key in which all the websites have 0 left,

Am just asking if any one can help me with this by providing a key or please tell me a web site that still has some.

Thanks A Lot :D..

May I ask how you got the client so fast? Torrent is useless because of ISP throttling and FAILPLANET.com makes you pay for minimal service of not waiting for downloads... Man is the internet getting killed by these ***hole companies and such.
