WAR (Warhammer Online)

Anyone else buy the Pre Order thinking they would get into open beta only too realize that there were no more keys left?

Happened to me at when I tried Gamestop and Amazon. Then I went to target and bought 5 sets of pre-order codes for 99 cents a piece and hooked myself and some friends up.

Cheated how? You can take the preorder back and get your $10 back, no questions asked. I randomly was in Best buy, saw the preorder, and said... ah what the heck, might as well, and I got it and I am in OB. It didn't wait outside the day the preorders were coming or anything, just randomly picked it up so I really don't feel too bad for you as there was plenty of time to get a copy.

what he said.... :P

i ordered mine months ago and dont feel cheated at all :D

Or you can just order from D2D....

It's the simplest way to do things i think... and you can just download the manual. and you are assured to receive an OB code

I thought the codes were a while supplies last kind of thing?

^^^^^^

probably the easiest way to do it. Tho you have to dish out the full payment right away. You are atleast guaranteed your codes. (I did mine through D2D but only cuz i trust mythic from my experience with DAoC.) Codes come to ur e-mail after you pay, quick and easy. Put them into ur master account and ur rdy for the weekend .

Well seeing as how I was guaranteed a beta spot due to my attendance at their Baltimore Convention, and I didn't get it, I don't believe a word Mythic says.  Funny, my buddy that attended with me got in, and his PC isn't even close in performance to the rig I have...you'd think my dxdiag in and of itself would have been enough to get in.

Just an FYI, they LIKE beta testers that do not have good specs. They don't need people that have maxed out $3,000 rigs, its obvious it will work. They want Johnny Nojob with a 300mhz compaq to try and run the game :)
