1. Checking the GS listing of WAR, there is no mention of the beta code anywhere in their CE description. So that may be a correction due to this problem, or the source of the confusion.
2. Reading what Amazon states, I am unclear to something. Do you get in to BETA now, or simply have a code ready for OPEN BETA?
1. Create a Beta Center account or log into your existing account at the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Beta Center. If you are creating a new account, please follow the instructions in the confirmation email you receive to complete your account set-up.
2. Once your account is created, enter your Open Beta code in the Promotional Code section of your Beta Center account. Your Open Beta code can be found in the pre-order confirmation email or on the pre-order card you received when you placed your order.
3. Once you have entered your code into the Beta Center you will receive future emails alerting you as to when Open Beta begins. These emails will contain instructions on how to access the Open Beta and download the game files.
I haven't preordered yet but when i do im going to make sure i get a beta code.

You have it ready for open beta. From what I hear they are going to have to be choosey on open beta also since so many people have applied. So getting the CE will be your spot in. If not you will have to get invited in just like the closed beta.
I pre-ordered from Amazon and I keep checking my downloads section and it says I don't have any downloads in my media library.. it's been like 15mins.
Did you use One Click? I hear that using One Click messes it up. Try cancelling and re ordering and don't use One Click. If that doesn't work Contact Amazon. I heard from another user with this problem they were fairly fast in fixing it and he has his codes now. Or you could just contact them before trying the cancel & retry method.
I'd do it soon since the CE is limited supply and first come first serve.
Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!
Just got off the phone with Gamestop, since I raced to and got 2 CE from them, and the lady as SOON as I said "Warhammer CE" she informed me that they have not gotten teh coeds as they were supposed to from Blizz, and the MOMENT they do, we'll get them via Email.
So make sure you have an email addy on with them okay?
Granted the Open Beta is gonna be choosy, its still gonna be like what..4 months away? If not more if its being released October. So its kinda funny they don't also give a closed beta, but beggars cant be choosers hey :P
It is nice its 10 bucks less than Age of Conans and comes with what I view as better stuff.
I think stores should only allow 1 per customer though, otherwise youll have scalpers buy em up and sell em for a couple hundred bucks on ebay, and while its smart on the scalpers side, it makes them incredibly douche.
I dont plan on buying the CE, since Ive learned not to play a MMO until I can try it, but I thought id give my two cents.
Anyone here who bought their copy from Amazon order mulitple copies? My girlfriend just cancelled her order from EBGames and ordered from amazon. But she only recieved one set of beta codes...thats great for one of us,but not for both. Anyone else have this problem?

Originally posted by Dvsclarity I ordered the CE from the online EA Store and receieved a receipt but no beta code, or any other code for that matter. Is there a 48 hour wait time for this?

EA Store support told me it would show up in an email, 3-5 days after you order.
The key wont do me any good today or next week or the week after. EA Store is part of EA, thus they own the game. So I trust that they will be best at making any and all issues right, if issues should occur.

I was thinking the same thing Jonny, which is why I got my CE at EA Store. I don't mind waiting for codes as long as they come, and as you said, they wont do us any good now anyway.

Here's a little info about the beta codes:
1. Create a Beta Center account or log into your existing account at the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Beta Center. If you are creating a new account, please follow the instructions in the confirmation email you receive to complete your account set-up.
2. Once your account is created, enter your Open Beta code in the Promotional Code section of your Beta Center account. Your Open Beta code can be found in the pre-order confirmation email or on the pre-order card you received when you placed your order.
3. Once you have entered your code into the Beta Center you will receive future emails alerting you as to when Open Beta begins. These emails will contain instructions on how to access the Open Beta and download the game files.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
I preordered from Amazon. How do I get to my downloads section? I'm not seeing it.
I went to amazon and didn't see anything on there about a beta key.
>>> Log into your account
>>> Click on "Your Account"
>>> Under "where's my stuff, choose "View Your Media Library"
>>> From the top menu bar choose "Downloads"
you should see all your codes there
Found it. Many thanks, Gendail.
glad I could help

Heard 48 hours from CS, a guildmate of mine heard "When we get them", and then received an email from CS that was just a cookie cutter response.
Cancelled both my eb games pre order for AoC and WAR, turned around and ordered from Amazon...
Have my keys from amazon in hand
