Well why wouldn't I? Look at DAoC, LOTRO (i think) and now WAR... all great games, with very slow Euro launches, all due to GOA. I know you guys have it rough. I have alot of friends in europe and they hate GOAs service, but love the games.
Just wish there was a more viable option for you guys over the big pond
A mass migration to a US server and the sacking of GOA by Mythic would be nice.
...and deserved.
Nice to see an American who actually understands our situation.
As we have announced before we have temporarily deactivated account creation on our web page to allow the database server to completely focus on the open beta code validation.
This procedure is efficient and you are finally able to register their codes slowly and access the game. Due to the large amount of the registration requests, this will still take several hours before all entries have been processed.
Because of this we will have to keep the account creation deactivated until tomorrow. Please be assured that every step we take is done to – under the circumstances – deliver WAR to Europe as soon as possible.
We thank you for your understanding and your patience. Naturally, we will give you an update about the situation tomorrow morning.
I decided to spend some time away from email refresh and upon my return I was amazed to see I had an email o/
Unfortunatley not from GOA but from MFI and part of it read like this...
You may be surprised how much things have changed at MFI. We've got great new product ranges for every room in the house, so whether you're after a trendy modern home office or a cosy traditional kitchen, we're the store for you.
We're also happy to say that in the last year we've made our delivery times even shorter, improved our customer service and generally done our best to give you the best possible MFI experience.
k can anyone help i have only just got in from work and i'm not sure if i've missed any tips. i am currently at the /activation page i have entered my getails and my key and the spinning wheel has be going a go 30 minutes!!! before this i kept getting a 414 error when trying to validate it. is this still a common problem or are most people past this now??
Now 8 hr and nothing :P.... sad im not paid by the hr :P... but this have been one of the most borring days ever.. and i cant get my US key from my fileplanet account since it only allows US players
give up and go to bed best tip i can give you after another 14 hrs of my life wasted trying to get into this POS i give up on the EU beta and have requested refunds x 2 at direct2drive.co.uk
guys go to www.warcry.com and get a US key, i did and had a key in seconds - download over night and then will be able to at least play tomorrow. I am really worried bout head start, i wanted to use Beta to decide and play test the classes etc. At least i know i will see alot of old friends on the US servers
Good luck guys, i am gonan sleep and pretend this whole fiasco was a bad dream..but i guess the GOA staff are doing the same!
I think Mythic are as much to blame here for letting GOA deal with this ...again Just seems they don't take WAR in Europe seriously, but considering as many Europeans will probably be playing as Americans it really needs to be.
True! They knew the track record! Bet it comes down to money! It always does. But what about EA? They pride themselves on their customer service - why aren't they in there kicking some a**?
All you have to do is look at the message from GOA.s CEO to see just how little they care ... "I rarely lower myself to address you little inconsequential nobody players who pay my wages, but on this occasion I've been nagged a bit by Mythic so I guess I'm sorry (NOT) and we're doing all we can (NOT) ...." blah blah blah.
Sums it all up if you ask me. I'm just a nobody player but even I could have told them they were heading for trouble in the way they had the whole thing structured - they not heard of bottlenecks? Oh I'm too fed up with GOA to bother saying anymore - all the power's with them anyway - we just have to lump it and wait!

cheers bud managed to grab a key and breezed through reg in under a 3 minutes on my old daoc account, this goes to show how much of a joke GOA are.
I think everyone who's contributed to this thread and followed it through its numpty pages should all join a guild together. We should call it war-europe is up now !!
To wank, or not to wank. The ultimate MMO sacrifice.

there you go or do file planet and leave on over night. There is a huge wait, but by the time sleep, school run etc is done should be ok (plus I work from home alot - joys of being a director so i may take extended breaks !)

When you register - any problem with saying you're located in the UK?
finally registered my eu beta key!! but i'm also d/l'ing US torrent so i'm waiting to see if i get a conf e-mail from eu or leaving the torrent on prob be quicker for torrent.... tbh i'm just tired of this and i don't even want to play the game that much now lol 39 hours!!! lol GOA are fuck ups... fact!!
Got the eu client on disk, just gonna do a clean instal with the US client and see how it goes. A friend of mine is on US beta and says apart from the odd bit of lag its playable.
sadly was lead up the garden path on that one mate, it loads up and then tells me after a min to many files are missing thats even with a full scan. Gonna keep working on it though

True! They knew the track record! Bet it comes down to money! It always does. But what about EA? They pride themselves on their customer service - why aren't they in there kicking some a**?
The game was never really a big problem was it ?
