Biggest wave ever!

[Amelyn]

I demand status update every 15mins!

Soon been a week, it's gotta be close now right?


--------------------
With the closed beta testing of Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning™ marching onwards, we are pleased to announce that we are stepping up the pace; within days the largest beta invitation wave yet seen will be sent out to hungry testers-to-be all over Europe! In other words, keep an eye at your inbox in the near future.

We wish you all good luck, and further wish to extend our gratitude to our current testers for creating such a positive community and we are confident the lucky new testers will feel welcome!

Naturally, we will update you when the invitations are sent out. See you all on the battlefield!

No luck so far, at this pace am gonna buy AoC at least for meanwhile.

 

[Faeldawn]

I wonder how many invites will go unanswered? Lot of players enjoying AoC right now...

 

[Idris]

I keep checking my email but no luck so far!

 

[Dervish]

I know of 4 people who got in on Friday, 3 in my guild and 1 in my DAoC alliance. It's already happened (happening) guys. They might do some more after the bank holiday to stagger things out but I'm still not overly optimistic. I think I'm not destined to be in this beta until the (lol) guild beta which turned into a non-event last year.

 

[chrislocalboy]

Well I'm not known for my good fortune so for me personally I've given up the idea of getting into the closed beta and will be waiting for the open one via my CE.

Sad thing is to quench my MMO thirst I had to go and buy AoC.... seems pretty good so far but every thing I do I just keep thinking 'It's no WAR.... sigh'

 

[Howley]

still nothing in my email anyways guess its open beta for me too.....

 

[Fefner]

nothing in my inbox either and i really want in! Seems unfair for the ones who really likes the warhammer world and cant get in, while others who just want to get into beta for the sake of playing it before anyone else then leaving the account dorment, gets in. Roll on open beta!!!

 

[partyanimal]

about beta accounts.
i was speaking some wow players, who never played daoc and paid goa a dime, but got beta invitations.
While others with 2 elder accounts still open , like me, started aoc.
the only thing that makes me happy i haven't got a beta account, although i bought the pre-order box 3-4 week ago, is that everybody i know says the game it so crap they dont bother playing any more.

There was murmurings a long long time ago, in a mmorpg far, far away that long-term DAoC regulars would be invited to the beta.

Other than a few E&E's, this never happened, which pretty much tells you what GOA think of their existing long-suffering-but-yet-oddly-still-loyal customers

 

[Howley]

ill judge the game myself when i get into open beta coz theres always some1 that doesnt like a game coz of varying taste...
atm sure id like to get an invite for closed beta but not unhappy without 1 either

 

[Idris]

Yeah, I'm also not too surprised that I have probably missed out, and am ok with waiting for open beta, cos I'm getting into the whole anticipatory blogging thing now

But I would love an invite too, argh!

 

[Linnet]

Yeah, it's clearly broken cos I didnt get an invite yet either

 

[AngelHeal]

nope no invite here

 

[Bahumat]

I got into Beta on Friday. Am guessing it's been and gone

They weren't ever going to invite all the old daoc players but there's supposedly a higher chance of getting in the beta if you're a veteran daocer.

Higher chance doesn't mean automatically invited though and it doesn't mean noone who's not a daoc player gets in

 

[Dervish]

But how would they know who is a veteran DAoCer? Just by the email address you supply in the WAR Europe website? Otherwise what is there to link you to your DAoC status?

[arknor]

That was probably US beta testers, they had their invite round at that time over a couple of days.

 

[Dervish]

They have just (finally) put a post on the main EU WAR website to say the invites for this round have indeed gone out. It is dated 23rd May which was of course last Friday. Nothing like leaving us dangling eh GOA...?

 

[Howley]

give open beta....

 

[Cadelin]

Big waves are awesome!

The biggest wave on record occurred in Lituya Bay on the southern coast of Alaska in 1958.

An earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale hit the area and shook loose an estimated 40 million cubic yards of dirt and glacier from a mountainside at the head of the bay. When the debris hit the water, a massive 1,720-foot wave was created and washed over the headland.

it was an EU forum

Sigh...............

 

[Idris]

Oh well, back to moping then..

 

[Bahumat]
