And they're off....

so, anyone with the collectors edition of WAR.. come get ya beta

http://www.war-europe.com/#/clientdl/?lang=enl

started downloading last night, only to discover this morning I don't have enough space on C drive to download it, damned the thing for not allowing me to specify where I can put the download

Anywho, I've deleted as much stuff as possible off my C drive and got just barely over 12GB (which is the minimum amount of space I need for the download if my memory serves) so heres hoping, if not going to have to pick a copy of the beta client off someone else

I should have it by the time I get home tonight... if you get stuck I could probs stick it on a few disks for ya matey

Sweet matey that would be appreciated, I will keep ya posted, I'm at 25% complete atm with 9.82gb left

Can I take you up on that offer Ash, can't get past 40% I can supply the discs, god I regret putting that partition on my computer

lol yeah no probs, disks would be good cos am down to my last 3 dvd's lol if you live or work near the college drop em off to me there or pop round tonight between 5 and 7 I'll PM you my addy mate

Some info from the Beta Forum:

Good evening all!
Pardon the lack of information recently. We have had a very busy and exciting time recently.

We'd like you all to know two things:

• All closed beta testers are automatically granted access to the Open Beta
  
• You will not need to download a new client. Patching will suffice.
  

Further, as you have surely noticed, we opened up our Standard Edition pre-order program
today, so those of you who haven't got the Collector's Edition
pre-order now have the opportunity to order the Standard Edition
pre-order. Remember, Open Beta will close before the Live Head Start
and beta testers will not automatically gain access to the Head Start;
you will need a pre-order code (CE or SE will both work).

We all look forward logging in again. Enjoy these last few days, before we are thrown into perpetual WAR!


-Magnus

We are pleased to announce the information that many of you have been waiting anxiously for - the Headstart dates!

All Collector's Edition pre-order customers will have access to the Headstart from the 14th of September while all Standard Edition pre-orders will be joining them a day later on the 15th. The full range of live servers will be available to choose from when the Headstart begins and you will be able to keep your characters and any progress you made with them for the live launch on the 18th of September (note that this only applies to characters created during the Headstart, all Open Beta characters will be wiped before the Headstart begins).

This will be a very exciting time for everyone as we begin the realm WAR in earnest!
