$15 bucks for 40+ hours a weak is cheap. Cheaper than real heroin at least, unless your name is Amy Winehouse coz then you just trade it for pieces of yourself to Iranian chemical weapons specialists.
Seeing as I still think MMORPGs are a waste of time, no. Just play real Warhammer, in which you can actually own things rather than continually pay to own things.
Pre-ordered the collectors edition months ago. CE gets like three big giant books and a figurine. Plus a few more things than the SE gets.
I'm fairly certain that Warhammer will be able to tide me over till Aion finally gets released.

No dice for me. If this was 40K, I would have been throwing money at them, but it's just boring old Warhammer.
It's just WoW, but not quite WoW

I think I can help out with the "Open Beta" confusion. Mythic isn't planning on offering a beta to everyone, they are only going to allow those with the pre-order codes, magazine codes, or whatever else gets you in.
"Open Beta" means the non-disclosure agreement is lifted, and everyone can talk about anything they want.
I've had the CE pre-ordered since they announced it, DAoC was one of my favorite MMOs so far, and Warhammer looks like it's going to carry on the legacy.

I wonder how much like WoW this will really end up being.
Warhammer gets created. Warcraft copies Warhammer. Warcraft becomes World of Warcraft. Warhammer copies World of Warcraft.
Weird, eh?

Here's my prediction:
1. WAR is released. Lots of people quit WoW to play WAR.
2. Players soon realize that they are basically playing the same game, just better graphics and a few other minor differences.
3. Players go back to WoW because they've already devoted their lives to it, and they like having their 1337 gear and epic mounts.
4. The once touted WoW killer WAR will essentially be a niche game like LOTRO, and will not capture nearly the player base it had hoped to because it essentially doesn't offer anything new and interesting.
The End.

Oh, I forgot to mention that WotLK will come out a few months later, and all the former WoW players who will be playing WAR will go back to WoW.
@killias2 - Just because your making an MMO doesn't mean your "copying" WoW. I've got nothing against WoW. but I fail to see how any game based off of the ORIGINAL Warhammer (that influenced and led to Warcraft) can be accused of copying anything.
Going to pass on WAR. While it's not a WoW clone, far from it, I've just lost my interest in PC gaming altogether, especially with MMOs. Next MMO I try will probably be for the PS3 or 360, but don't think I'm going back to the PC.
September?! NOOOO! Its too soon. Delay it again please. I have too many games to try and get out of the way before this is released. Damn it! ;)
We'll see how law school is going before I dedicate my hard earned monies towards this and then not have time to play it.
Should have delayed it and umm....NOT removed 2/3s of the games content from the launch. Well I am still buying it, so we shall see...waiting on that beta launch though.
The best thing about WAR for me is that it really kills off scheduled raiding. I'm sure hardcore guilds will still have schedules but the rest of us will be able to play most of the end-game content most of the time.
Of course, keep in mind that I'm so in the tank for WAR that I have a blog about it ;)
