Poor Europe. Fans excited to get a taste for Warhammer Online in the open beta program will just have to wait a bit longer as servers get inundated.
Closed beta gamers are fine as their accounts are simply carried over but new recruits aren’t having quite the same joy as the ”key validation system has been taken offline”.
GOA’s CEO Ghislaine Le Rhun, the European publisher for WAR, wrote a letter to gamers expressing his sorrow at the problems:
”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.”
Still no favourable update on the official European site yet as technicians must still be hammering away.
