Dates for open beta, pre-release and release ready?
August 1st, 2008 |
According to Gamestop, there will be an open beta for WAR on September 3. till September 12., before the game is finally released on September 19. Also, there is a head start, or pre-release, of the game simular to what we saw with AoC, that starts on September 15.
Both the head start and open beta is open only for those who reserves or preorders Warhammer Online. Previously it was thought that some items was available only to those who preordered Collector’s Edition of Warhammer Online. Now it seems like preordering the regular version of WAR will also give you these items. The in-game item is Rittenbach’s Portable Camp and the Sentinel’s Amber Band. For a short time it was also said that Universal Fighting System Battle Deck was given to those with regular package, but that is now gone, so you probably have to get the CE to get that.
