Warhammer Online seeks beta testers

I tried signing up for this but after validating my email address it kept telling that validation code doesn't match my email address.

Sucks to because as a subscriber to their monthly news letter I have a better chance of getting in.

Eh... another fantasy-based MMORPG. The most interesting part about this entire article was at the end where you mentioned Tabula Rasa. I'll have to check that out.

The worst part is if they went with another era of Warhammer, it wouldn't be just another fantasy MMO.

how long did it take for you to get the email back to confirm. Im closing in on 20 mins here.

Ahh good, Mythic is getting an early start on ignoring their beta testers.

The apple does not fall far from the tree, they will not be forgiven for how badly they bungled DAOC.

LOL spam filter DAAAAAAAAAH!

Will it come with virtual tape-measures for hours of bitching about attack ranges and stuff?

"how long did it take for you to get the email back to confirm. Im closing in on 20 mins here."

You can use the password they send you in the email to avoid that the next time, but to answer your question, it took me about 5 minutes the last time I had to confirm one.

Mythic did Dark Age of Camelot - I have very high hopes for this one.

Tabula Rasa looks like an amazing game. Here is a 30 minute presentation by Lord British about it:

I've been read up it quite a bit for the last month, and it does look like a pretty interesting game.

Oh yeah, I been waiting for this, I think I am a litle giddy.

"how long did it take for you to get the email back to confirm. Im closing in on 20 mins here."

Yeah i thought i was having the same problem...but it has a "no-reply" addy so it got stuck in my spam filter...so check ye olde spam

@Kyrra

I love it. An article about Warhammer becomes free advertisement for Tabula Rasa. Someone at EA Mythic is probably pissed.

Thanks for the link by the way.

Oh to people saying they aren't getting Reply check spam mail cause I got my reply right away, but cause I kept my spam mail empty I saw when it come and it was from mythic.

Don't know why it is going to spam mail automatically but that is what it did. Hope it helps some.

Polish? Has the joystiq commenter played LOTR Online past level ten? LOTRO polished?

LOTRO has a clumsy, simple combat system..
Poor user feedback while in combat..
Entirely Meaningless stat progression ( stats do nearly nothing)
An extremely prohibitive leveling system ( ONLY quests give significant EXP, but most quests are parts of chains of many steps, and you cannot share a step ahead of your groupmate.This means you'll spend a lot of time helping people on earlier steps of quest chains to catch them up to you, which you get no benefit from. Monster Kill EXP is next to nothing)
An economy that was so vulnerable to secondary market gold farmers that within the first month the price of commoddities inflated like the russian ruble. I'm looking at you, dwarf iron ore!
An endgame that is COMPLETELY POOCHED. Instances like Fornost are horribly ill concieved and unrewarding. Solo content for the 40+ game amounts to ENDLESS GRIND FOR BOOK PAGES just to get your level 40+ skills. Anyone played FFXI and remember what a pain in the butt it was to get the pages from the skeletons for the Genkai quests? Imagine THE WHOLE REST OF THE ENDGAME was like that?

LOTRO was the most regrettable MMO purchase I've ever made in eight years of MMOG playing.
