WAR (Warhammer Online)

Ok I went back a few pages and didnt see this so if I missed it and its old news sorry.

For a couple of weeks I have seen alot of posts asking about the open beta in europe with the standard edtion of the game from d2d who were saying you would get into open beta with the d/l,here is official answer's on this....for people that have already paid for it,it isnt good...

What is the deal with the web-shops such as the EA Store and Direct2Drive who are selling SE Pre-Orders, claiming them to include Open Beta access?
Both myself, Iain and Mythic representatives have stated on several occasions that European SE pre-order customers will indeed not gain automatic access to the EU Open Beta as we have chosen to distribute keys through partner websites and the EA store instead.

We remain steadfast on our current line: Open Beta access is not planned to be a part of the European SE Pre-Order offer. In fact, we haven't even launched the SE Pre-Order campaign yet. This is due August 28th. At the end of the day, EA is in charge of distributing WAR in Europe. This is not to say they are to blame; it takes two to tango. They, just as we, are involved in this and we need to find a solution to this mess. GOA seniors have engaged in dialogue with EA and we are all eagerly awaiting the result of this.
This is a very important issue which has a high priority for us for many reasons. Trust me, we are working hard to get an answer to this asap.
 

What is your advice to players who are considering buying the SE Pre-Order from the EA Store or the Direct2Drive show?
There is no reason to rush into buying the SE Pre-Order especially as the Standard Edition - unlike the Collectors Edition - is not subject to limited supplies. August 28th is one week away from now and there will be plenty of SE Pre-Order boxes to go about. Also, by then, the confusion surrounding the offers provided by the EA Store and direct2buy will surely have evaporated.

SE Pre-Order customers will have plenty of time between August 28th and the Head Start to insert codes and download the client and once you receive the actual box at launch, you'll also gain access to the in-game bonuses associated with this offer.

Translation: we dont care a damn about Europeens, they are stupid, therefore we leave support to a bunch of amateurs called GOA. Thanks for nothing.

Can anyone confirm that if you have ordered the SE if you do get in on the 12th or have to wait till the 18th?
