Today Mythic Entertainment went out and announced the open beta of Warhammer Online. 7th September 2008 is the date and thousands of fans will be able to play the very much anticipated PvP-focused MMORPG. Furthermore, WAR will be released the 18th September this year.

In order to access the open beta there's a few ways, you can either pre-order the game or hope you get one of them limited spots via FilePlanet.com, which is the site that Mythic Entertainment and Electronic Arts will work together to distribute open beta access.

"For three years we have been saying that ‘WAR is coming’ and the team has been working hard to deliver on this promise,” said Mark Jacobs, co-founder and general manager of Mythic Entertainment. "In just a few weeks, we are going to throw open our doors and invite more players into the game than ever before. They will have a chance to delve into the open beta and see for themselves that WAR has arrived and it is glorious!"

There are a total of 75.000 open beta keys which will go out and they already started to have the beta client available via Fileplanet as of last Friday the 15th. http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/warhammeronline/... is the URL and it’s a first-come, first serve basis! Hurry. Apparently they are hosting the client only for North America, Australia, and New Zealand players.

If you previously had North American closed beta access your account will carry over to the closed beta – which is great news, but also kind of expected.

If you have pre-ordered the game go to the account center at http://accounts.warhammeronline.com and enter your open beta code, then you get access to download the client via FilePlanet at zero additional cost.

Prior to the open beta, Mythic will be hosting a special North American Beta Preview Weekend, from August 22nd through August 25th, and 100,000 players will be invited to end the closed beta with a bang. Those who pre-ordered the now sold-out Collector’s Edition will get top priority, but all are welcome to sign up at FilePlanet.com and try for a spot in this exciting event!

    so its not open beta afterall. its you have to pay for then you get in. either pay to fileplanet for premium sub, or pay for preorder. gg greedy fucks. if its pay-to-beta then say so instead of open beta.

    and thanks for fucking us eu players over, again. not the first time for mythic. getting less and less eager to try out warhammer instead of wow.

    They call it an "Open Beta" but they never meant that everyone gets in. Open as-in no more NDA, with substantially more beta participants.

    haha, clueless ^.^
    open beta = information can be released by anybody, closed beta it cannot "legally" be released by anybody besides mythic, as in starting september 7th, there is going to be a sh!tload more info about warhammer that regular random people tell us about, rather than only mythic.

    (open = free to share info)
    (closed = not able to share info)
