Warhammer Online Open Beta To Begin September 7th

Posted by Soulskill on from the open-is-relative dept.

Mythic Entertainment has announced that the open beta for the long anticipated Warhammer Online will begin on September 7th, eleven days before the finished game goes live on September 18th. We've previously discussed WAR's delays and the content cuts involved in reaching this deadline. In the meantime, Mythic's Road to WAR website (which we talked about earlier this month) is still available. The press release notes, "Players can get into the North American open beta by pre-ordering Warhammer Online from select retail partners."

  1. The capital cities have been removed by Billly+Gates · · Score: 1, Troll

    The bean counters with their MBA's came in and removed 4 of the 6 major cities citing to move this project out by christmas rather than doing it right.

    I think I will be sticking with Wow for awhile after hearing this.

  2. Platforms? by Onan · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'm guessing this thing is Windows-only? Usually when a company can't even be bothered to say on what platforms their software will run, it's because they're under the impression that Windows is the only one that exists.

    Ah, well. Any bets on whether the couple million people who play WoW on macs will outnumber the total number of players this ever achieves?
