Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

Never one to miss a chance at selling more subscriptions or D2D sales, FilePlanet is Mythic’s official Open Beta Client download site.

You will need a free FilePlanet login, FilePlanet Download Manager installed, and your pre-order Open Beta key that you received at the following page in order to “Pre-Load” the Warhammer Online client download.

You can queue up for the download here, however at this time this is only to reserve an unknown place in line until the FilePlanet Download Manager deems you worthy of receiving the file (The download manager is currently showing an estimated availability of “Aug 19th”).

Open Beta details have also been re-affirmed by Mythic as:

Closed Beta Participants

If you are currently in the WAR closed beta, you will automatically be granted access to the open beta. Simply continue to patch your client and you’ll be ready to play.

The Open Beta will be level capped and content restricted. You will be allowed to choose any of the game’s 20 unique careers and advance through rank 20. You will also be free to explore and battle across Tiers 1 and 2 of each army’s homeland. Please note that any characters created during the Open Beta will NOT carry over into the live game as they will be wiped from the servers.

This information is valid only for North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Plan on getting real familiar to the “Next check for availability in: 50 Mins.” line…
