| I just finished up with the Preview weekend for | | | | What that means for the average Joe is that you |
| Warhammer Online and I am so excited the | | | | get to try out all the classes and races and decide |
| release is coming up in just a few short weeks. I | | | | which one you like the best. Its always fun to |
| have preordered my copy and since the preview, | | | | read the posts and think about which character |
| I already have it downloaded. | | | | you want to make, but open beta lets you |
| I would recommend to anyone interested or | | | | actually try it out and see for sure which one fits |
| planning to play Warhammer Online to preorder a | | | | your play style so when the games goes live you |
| copy. The preorder comes with extra goodies | | | | can start that character you are going to keep. |
| that won't be available after the game goes live | | | | Open Beta characters will be capped at level 20 |
| on September 18th. Plus just like me, you can | | | | and will be wiped before the game goes live so |
| already have the game installed and ready to go | | | | there is no harm in trying every class you are |
| on the release date. | | | | even remotely interested in. |
| Here are some of the goodies you get with your | | | | The Headstart program lets you start before |
| Warhammer pre order: | | | | everyone else. Basically, open beta will end and |
| · Admission to Open Beta starting on | | | | the servers will get wiped. They will then come |
| September 7th. | | | | back up and the Headstart group will get to start |
| · Headstart program so you get to play | | | | playing several days ahead of the release. The |
| before release. | | | | advantage here is that you can create your |
| · Bonus in-game items that vary | | | | character and get out of the newbie areas before |
| depending on where you buy the preorder. | | | | they get swamped with all the noobs on release |
| · Universal Fighting System Battle Deck - | | | | day. |
| a Fantasy Flight collector's card game deck (with | | | | The bonus items are nice, but unlikely to actually |
| retail versions in the box). These obviously do not | | | | change your enjoyment of the game too much |
| come with the digital download. | | | | and the deck of UFS cards is just a bonus. |
| So you want to play Warhammer Online but you | | | | Basically, if you are going to play the game, you |
| aren't sure about the preorder. Well let me tell | | | | should get the preorder - its not any more |
| you my thoughts, Open Beta access is just what | | | | expensive and the bonuses will be worth the early |
| it says - you get to play before everyone else. | | | | investment. See ya in game! |
