Collectors edition pre-order info revealed??

[chrislocalboy]

Check this link WAR-Welten.de - Die deutschsprachige W.A.R. (Warhammer Online) Communityseite

It's a German site but you will see from the 3rd image that it clearly states you will gain extra items, 'open' beta access and early live game access.

This is leading me to believe that June release is looking very promising! will be better once we get an American\English annoucement though.

Still exciting stuff though!

Just emailed the website i did my CE preorderfrom to ask if they will ever get any in. Waiting for a reply

Until it is announced by Mythic, i wouldn't take some random websites information to be correct

Hence me saying it will be better when theres an annoucement!

Still from the flash bak on a couple of those images it seems like someone has had to quickly take a few pics on a camera? god knows where they have had the chance to see that though?

However just found this on Gamespy.... the bold test highlighting the relevant part!

MBJ has said that they are real and its said they have been leaked to the community, An announcement about them will happen at the event in Paris.

i have a danish friend and he said he's already pre ordered the game through a danish company, release date is may according to them. I dont believe it i reckon it will be aug/sep since it seems they have alot more work to do.

 

[Mcflury]

technically the game will be released in Q2, august is not Q2 anymore (it's Q3 idd). I know not many still believe it'll be released in June, but quite honoustly: you have no reason to believe otherwise. So releasing the pre-order boxes in may would be possible: 1 month of 'open beta', then close all servers for a week or two again and release real game. It's still possible, and I'm counting on it!!

 

[Chrismorris]

End of May maybe, June i think its very possible, If you watch any of the new video interviews on IGN or Gamespy you will see they both say the game is as good as done contence wise. All they are doing now is polish. 3 more months to polish the game seems enough to me.

Roll on June

Where do you guys think the best place to pre-order the collectors edition would be? I'm in the UK btw. Do you go into a shop (there are plenty of GAME stores near me) or order from somewhere like play.com or amazon? I have a feeling these will be very popular, so want to make sure i get one

As for release dates, i think only the beta testers can truly know. Judging by the recent interviews, i have to say I get the impression the game is far closer to release than i originally thought.

 

[Chrismorris]

From England aswell, i pre ordered the CE from GAME.co.uk - Buy video games, consoles and accessories with free UK delivery. at GAME.co.uk

And if it isnt here b4 its the day its out ill go into town and buy a normal copy so i dont miss a day of WAR.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Collectors Edition (PC Games) - free UK delivery at GAME.co.uk

However, wait for an actual announcement. Apparently, somestores have been taking pre-orders based on teaser boxes and info given out months ago.

I gave the local GAME store a ring earlier and they said i could pre order the collectors edition from their store.

What i don't understand however is if it does give you access to an open beta, or an early start, how do you play it if you only get the game on release day?

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Here's a thought. Say they want to expand the game, add new content, zones, creatures etc... having a seperate BETA running for certain players with access to test it all out does make sence.

Although yeah, its a pretty weak argument I admit.

Seeing there's apparently miniature coming with it i'm totally going down if it's already painted painting them is part of the fun!

Your be too busy playing to have time to paint the model, I thinking/hoping it wont be painted as its a gamesworkshop thing. And it will be done the gamesworkshop way

Couple of thousand minatures done by the Eavy Metal team...
Yeah, somehow, I can't see it.

Would be cool, but unlikely.
