WAR (Warhammer Online)

I am very interested in this game, I would like to try the open beta but I don't want to commit to a pre-order to do so. Are they going to allow people to try the game absolutely consequence free before the 18th or will that come later after retail?

Sign up for the beta on their website and hope you get in?

That's probably it.  And good luck with that.  Open betas haven't been truly open for a long time.

It likely won't happen till a while after release. Except for perhaps buddy keys and the like.

You can get a pre-order for as little as a dollar. I really don't see why people are making such a big deal out of this.

I remember when open beta was actually an open beta for testing, and not a preview of the full game for people who already bought it...

Chances are no.

Not sure if it's exclusive, but I'm pretty sure it is.

It's also $5 dollar minimum pre-order at EB Games or GameStop, so it really isn't that big of a commitment.

So what you're looking for is a Free Trial for a game before it even launches?

Sounds silly to me.

A pre-order is hardly a major commitment. Put down your dollar and cancel your pre-order if the BETA version isn't your cup of tea.

I thought the difference between Open Betas and Closed Betas was whether or not there was a NDA?

I just looked into the 5 dollar pre-order and I can't find it, both EB games and Gamestop want the full 50 dollars for the Pre-order GoGamer wants 49. I will take a chance and 5$ is worth it just to try it for a while, I just can't find a site that will let me do that.

Is the 5$ deal only in-store?  I would need an online one.

Really on what planet was this ever true? Open betas have always been marketing ploys.
