Open Beta For Warhammer Online Given
If you are one of those people who really wanted in to the beta for the new Warhammer Online game, but were shafted. Well all hope is not lost. Kind of. Well, at least for a week or two before the game goes gold. Let me explain, or you can skip down to the release for this.
If you pre-order the game through select retailers, they are listed on the site, you can get into the public beta for the game on September 7th. A few weeks before the release date of the 18th of September. So you can get a slight head start over all those other bastards that don’t pre-order the game. So if you are big into that, check it all out.
