Warhammer Online

Yeah I was in the AoC beta too, but for me it was meh AoC and I went back to WAR. Different tastes :)

Good to see plenty of invites going out though all the same !
 
There is supposed to be a Warhammer 40k MMO coming out, but it wont be for several years yet, and I think its being done by a company with no MMO experience (THQ) , I always worry about MMOs made by companys with no MMO experience.

THQ are publishing with a company called Vigil producing it. Unfortunately Vigil haven't actually released a game yet either. Though their first game, Darksiders, is looking reasonably interesting.

I don't have high hopes that this 40K MMO will get off the ground, but if WAR is successful then I have no doubt that a 40K MMO will happen as 40K is much more popular than Fantasy.

True, i'm just getting fed up of fantasy mmo's. Bring on the sci-fi (and i dont mean EVE)

True, I can see a 40K MMO coming out eventually if WAR is successful (and I think it will be, not WoW successful, but then again WoW is a freak rather than a norm), Games Workshop havent often been one for missing a market opportunity. I dont think they would stick with THQ/Vigil though, possibly they would give the license for a 40K MMO to Mythic (particularly if WAR succeeds)

In all honesty, 40K is fantasy, it just also happens to have guns. :D

I agree, though I think THQ have at least 4 more years left on their licencing deal for 40K computer games. Saying that, the promo stuff from Darksiders looks quite nice and the artistic style isn't a million miles away from 40K already. But with neither THQ or Vigil having an MMO experience I don't hold out much hope, unless they high some folks that know what they are doing.

So are people that have preordered the collectors edition meant to get a special preorder box or something? As I have preorered mine with that Jersey store and they haven't said anything about sending me a preorder box with codes in and such...
 
It depends upon whether you have preordered the collectors edition, or preordered the "special" preorder collectors edition. Its a touch complicated, but basically only certain companies can supply the "special" preorder CE, rather than merely a CE.
 
Yeah the "special" preorder comes with

A guaranteed open beta slot
Early access headstart to the game (not sure how long, the rumour is between 3 days and a week)
Some bonus ingame item, nothing major, just a little item
