Want to experience the glory of battle and the thrill of War before the game goes live? Players can get into the War open beta by pre-ordering Warhammer Online from select retail partners. Participants of the closed beta will automatically be granted open beta access.

Visit the new Mythic Account Management website to create your Warhammer Online game account. When prompted, enter your open beta code. If you have previously entered your open beta code in the beta center, you’ll need to enter it again when you create your War game account at the new account management site. You will be required to create a free FilePlanet account and input your open beta pre-order code to download the open beta client.

Those currently involved in the War closed beta will automatically be granted access to the open beta. Simply continue to patch your client and you’ll be ready to play. The open beta is level capped and content restricted, but you’re allowed to choose any of the game’s 20 unique careers and advance through rank 20. You’re also be free to explore and battle across Tiers 1 and 2 of each army’s homeland. Characters created during the open beta will NOT carry over into the live game, as they’ll be wiped from the servers.
