Open Beta I presume?

Hi everyone! 



Well, looks like I may be joining some of you fine questers soon.  I purchased a preorder from Best Buy yesterday and downloaded and entered my key.  Now, my question is this;  Is this download and key for "open beta"?  I noticed that once everything was installed and downloaded all the servers were red and when i cursered over them it read "closed".  Can someone please explain what I need to do in order to begin playing Lord of the Rings beta?

I believe its because pre-order gets you into open beta.....................

From what I have read it seems that those who preorder the game will get to log in on march 30th and play in the open beta also they will get to keep their characters for launch.

It's not open beta. You need to get a beta key. The Preorder does not include beta access.

Ok, yeah that's kinda what I thought after I saw those closed down servers.  And I do recall reading somewhere in this forum where we have to wait until March 30th.  The box does say I'll be able to start open beta sooner than the public, so it's a wait then.



Cheers!  Good gaming to one and all!
