Weird how they call it an "open beta" yet you have to pre-order the game to get the key... hardly "open" is it?
Oh well, I never pre-order any games and I don't wanna get sucked into it like I did with WoW so I guess I'll never try it.

Oh, and another thing I just spotted:
"This information is valid only for North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore."
So I doubt you guys will be able to access the so-called "open" beta either.
European Open Beta starts on the 7th. I've already got the client downloaded and ready to go.Quote:

It is an open beta, anyone who wants to can get access to it.
Same thing was done with WoW, you pre-order, you got into the open beta. Plenty of other games have gone this route, RF Online being one of them. Its makes sense really, its not a trial, its a beta and can/will/is be a little buggy. If you want a trial i suspect that will be available after the game has been out for a few weeks/months.Quote:

The information you have sounds like the info from Fileplanet, which is the US/AU client and has been available for a couple of weeks, its been there early because of the preview weekend that happened. Plus from what i understand the only difference in clients is the server listing, again the same thing as WoW.
I must admit I am looking forward to this. My download is progressing as we speak. There has been a void in my gaming life since I finished Drake's Fortune and got bored of WOW.
I have my beta key and the client is downloaded- perhaps we should all try to get on the same server- if there are different ones!
There will be open beta key giveaways on selected community sites but the numbers will be limited - the preorder program was a way to guranatee that you'd get in.Quote:

There will be a number of different servers at launch, both core and open rulesets. No names have as yet been published. My WoW guild has a number of people who will be playing WAR, so we'll be grouping up. I see no reason that we couldn't tag some Hexus members along if you fancy some destruction fun :)
The login at www.war-europe.com is offline at present as they prepare to make the account centre live.
Out of interest how many of us are joining the open beta come sunday then?.
1 here....

i will be... i have my beta code just downloading war as we speak... im looking into going ..good guys as some rl friends are.. but we will see as i use to play warhammer for 9 yrs so mite have to go back to play what i use to collect =)
I will be, of course.
You all know i'll be there :) Just not too sure whether it will from the launch on Sunday at 3pm or on Monday. Glad it doesn't interfere with the F1 race this weekend :D
I'm there as well :)
Me! I will be!
Cant wait..
have to wait 3 hours to be even able to download from fileplanet
does anyone know other places to get the client ?
The downloader from wareurope was fine, 3hrs to get down the 8+ GB for me.
The site appears ****ed now tho as login pages are up and now borked due to the site being flash and the load being too high.
