Beta to restart in a week?

[Dreamor]

Couldn't see anything in the last week, but just seen TenTonHammer say the Beta servers are coming back up next week. Is this true?

The reference...

In an otherwise run-of-the-mill Warhammer Online PR release about hitting the 500k mark for beta sign-ups, you might have noticed this little gem:

Beta testing resumes next week with a special sneak peek at the new Dark Elf lands and careers. Thanks to the tremendous response from fans around the world, the development team has a strong pool of gamers to engage in WAR's final tuning stages.

Get ready, ladies and gentlemen. We are back in beta starting next week. Read the release here. Come on over to the forums and discuss your child-like glee at this proclamation.

Lol yeah you can say i used entrapment tho, 'You fancy coming to the pub mate?' 'Yeah might as well, beta ain't up for another week now, so i got sod all to do!'

Cunning huh
Now all i need is a beta account of my own so i don't have to lure these lapses out by means of cold cider. My bank account can't take it

*Hatches plan to grass up friend so he gets a beta account* Friendship is only worth so much after all lol.

Yes! Gifv beta! Is there some way we can force IainC to give us all beta's?

Last I heard guild beta is scheduled for "early next year" make of that what you will.

I imagine they will only open it when they are ready for the concentrated test for guilds the same way when they open they are having a concentrated test with the elf race pairing.

I agree it does suck having to wait so long, I feel like a bouncer at a great new club called Warhammer just told me it's 1 in 1 out and I have to stand there whilst those on the guest list go in before me. It's cold and rainy outside this proverbial club

And IainC can get us all on the guestlist! C'mon Requiel! What's your price?
