Warhammer Online Beta Application Now Open

Posted by Zonk on from the waauuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhh dept.

Eurogamer reports that applications for the Warhammer Online Beta are now open on the official site. The Beta will be open for both American players as well as folks in the EU, and each have their own site available for signup. We had a chat with the Warhammer team late last year, which should give some insight on the game. Eurogamer as a hands-on preview available from January, if that's more your thing. "'Empire is a world about the End of Days,' bellows Paul [Barnett]. 'A world on the brink of extinction. No matter what they do, the Humans must keep fighting or they'll all die. Breed and fight, expand or die, that's all they can do.'"

    coupled with a development community that actually listens and responds to its fans How many times have we heard that before? Pretty much every time there is a new game on the horizon. I will believe it when I see it, and then I will probably avoid that game because every time developers listen to players it just leads to a worse game.

    Warhammer will be interesting to see, but I suspect that AoC will be the "wowkiller". The only game capable of killing WoW at this point is WoW itself.

    Not a big deal in my opinion...

    What is a big deal? They want my address, my phone number, my name, etc...
