Simple question - I ask primarily for the sake of knowing how many will be in the open beta (when it finally arrives). I myself have already ordered and am waiting giddy-as-a-schoolgirl to take my first crack at WAR.
Haha yupp me too. I've preorderd in a couple places. In GAME (a UK game store) i was 40 something on the list, so i preorderd in HMV too but i'm third in there so its all good :]
Open beta gives you a week to play before it's actually out right?
Newbie question here, can you preorder the game in a store like Gamestop or only online? When pre-ordering online I usually get screwed over with a mix up of some kind.
Pancakes, you can pre-order in-store instead of just online. Just go to your store (Gamestop, I'm assuming) and tell them you want to pre-order it. They should (according to the WAR website) give you a card with your beta/item access codes, if I recall right.
I plan on doing this soon, I really hope I'm not too late for it.
Neither of my local Gamestop stores had the beta codes. The Best Buy representative I talked with didn't have any idea what I was talking about.
So I went to the W.A.R. website, and they said that online retailers would email the beta codes in the confirmation email once you pre-order. I just laid down $100 ($15 shipping and $5 tax... outrageous) for the Collector's Edition, got the confirmation email... and voila, no beta access codes.
Very not cool. I should have went to Best Buy in person to see if they had the codes in person. I plan on contacting the W.A.R. guys about it, but I'm 99% positive that they're just going to say "it was a 'while supplies last' thing."
Aren't you supposed to be guaranteed a spot in the open beta if you pre-order the CE?
I contacted Gamestop customer support and the guy said I should get the beta codes within 48 hours. One day to go; if I don't get the email sometime today, I'm going to email them again.
Just wait till the CE ships, then start checking e-bay. I reckon there are plenty of folks who've pre-ordered the CE that don't play tabletop. I'm sure you'll start seeing them pop up in auctions =).
Update: after 3 business days, I have finally received my open beta access codes via email from Gamestop, as well as my codes for the live head start and the two bonus items. I am now officially happy.
Woot! Well you'll have to keep us informed about it mate I wanna know if its worth buying when it finally comes out. Theres only so much WoW and EVE a guy can take!
Pre-ordered today from EAStore.com. We'll see how it pans out, with the beta access codes =).
-H
P.S. If anyone else who is not planning on ordering the CE plays tabletop, and would like the mini, feel free to PM me. I've got no problem giving a fellow LO member an early Christmas present. Of course, preference will go to members of the Legio Librarium on a first-PM-first-serve basis, so sign up now =D.
So LE.. Does that mean right this moment your in the beta? Playing it up? If so could you tell me what the movement system is like, ive been dieing to know.
I intended to play this game, with a vengence.
But IMO it got over hyped and it somewhat disapointed me when the original happy-shock wore off. Now it pretty much looks like WoW to me, but then set in the Warhammer world.
I might get it eventualy, when I can play a Woodelven wardancer.
BUT, what I am planning on pre-ordering is Diablo 3.
You'll have to kill me to prevent me from playing that game.
Sure, it looks like WoW... with a better interface, better graphics, better setting, better guild system, better PVP settings (RVR wins). If you really want to compare what it's supposed to be with what WoW is, you'll find that WoW is aged and a bit boring in comparison.
That said, yes I do play WoW (none of the endgame stuff, things like that don't usually do it for me; hopefully WAR changes that) and I am going to be playing it for the 2-3 months it will take for the open beta to be released for WAR, and maybe up until WAR is finally released. After WAR comes about, I will (hopefully) try to post an in-depth comparative review. Should be great fun.
unfortunately i didn't have the funds at the time to get the collectors edition, by the time i did they had sold out everywhere, so I'm just making do with the regular release edition
i pre-ordered it as soon as i found out that i could. which turns out to be around march i believe. now i am getting ready to wet myself waiting for open beta to start so i can get my fix again.
