With only a 2 weeks to go, Warhammer Online plunges into Open Beta.
Finally a chance for the people who didn't made it into Closed Beta to try out the game before really deciding to buy it.

As the americans started to play whitout many problems, the europeans on the other hand could not say it went as smooth as in the US.
GOA failed to deliver a decent working website for people to register their keys on. People who weren't in Close Beta had to wait 2 days before some were able to login. Others are still having troubles getting their key registered.
The CEO of GOA even posted an explanation on their website

Dear all, I rarely address players directly, but I wanted to write you as too few of you have been able to access the open beta today. As my team explained in the previous post, although we have opened the servers and corrected numerous issues during the last 24 hours but we have not yet solved the issue of saturated Open Beta key activations that we’re currently experiencing. I am sincerely sorry for this, and I understand all the frustration the situation has spawned. Today was a dark day. We expected a massive influx of players, but reality was even harsher. I personally commit that we will communicate to you as clearly as possible on the resolution of these current issues. My goal is to give Warhammer Online the success it deserves. Be ensured that all GOA teams, with Mythic’s support, are working hard to bring you the best possible game experience. Best regards, Ghislaine Le Rhun GOA CEO
