While Mythic Entertainment was kind enough to let us know that their Realm versus Realm focused MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, would finally be hitting store shelves on September 18 -- along with how much it would cost to play every month -- they were a bit vague about the game’s open beta, aside from mentioning that there would be one.
It would appear that they’ve finally settled on a ‘let everyone in and hope they don’t trash our product’ date, though: September 7. That will give players a good 12 days to run around and kill the opposing forces of Order or Destruction before the game launches.
As for getting into the open beta, there are currently two different ways: if you were in the closed beta, then you’ll automatically be admitted to the open one, or, you could just pre-order the game from any one of these retailers and use the code that they’ll provide.
Is the open beta enough motivation for you to pre-order Warhammer?

The lack of any stealth class disappoints me. =(
Stealth groups in DAoC were so awesome.
Who said there was no stealth class? ;)
if it was 40K, I'd just go into solitary confinement with my PC and internet-access for the rest of my life :-)
It's good mind you, but nothing earth shattering.
1. There is a beta
2. You aren't in it
Excuse me? What makes you think I'm not?
The fact that I stated that I'm not impressed by it? Grow up.
on a serious note though the main issues that i have been running into is some server lag when it is crowded (i was doing open world RVR last night, there was around 60 people fighting in a small area) and enemy pathing (you can hit some mobs with like 5 throwing axes before they rush you) Other than the points listed above, i feel this is the best MMO expierience i have had thus far, there really is a lot of extra stuff and attention to detail that Mythic put in.
I know a lot of people wont share my opinion, but thats what having one is all about.
