Wait so you know for sure that your going to be in the preview weekend? Or are u just talking about open beta. And go to Warahmmeronline.com, click on herald, and it will give you the information and link to download the cilent.
Well, in account management it shows me as active for the upcoming preview weekend.Is it the same client as open beta ? 9which i already have)
I honestly dont know. Wait in account management does it say "WAR Preview" ??
yep.
here is a copy paste of my account page:

Sweet thanks alot for this!! Its in my account page too now, it wasn't there before.
Any idea when the preview weekend starts or have any information on it??
hmm...thanks string...still sort of unclear if the open beta client is the same ...not getting an email kinda bugs me. hoping it isnt a mistake on mythics end listing everyone as being in the preview. Yet to see anyone whos account management DOESNT say they have it...
I just looked since you posted that. I do too. Not sure. Just realized the file from fileplanet needs to "unlock". Strange. It's taking quite a while. It's in my apps volume. Sitting on 9.80GB the folder name is "WarhammerOnline_Beta_encr.dlmpartial". Hope it doesn't mean it didn't download correctly.
No, mine did that too. Toook awhile to unlock but appears to be fine now. Except when i click patch it just rapidly fills the progress bar then closes out (was kinda hoping for an intro movie at least :P
Well what i was thinking was that maybe they just organized today who is and isnt in the preview weekend. I hope its no mistake too. If someone finds anything out about a different cilent though, could they please let me kno or post it in here.
thanks all!
I got the unlock. Ran the patch. Filled in..then asked me for my login and password. It seems it's not working. Better check my passwords again.
Thats how mine looks too. So as of now all we need to do is download the cilent from fileplanet, or is there more?
No, i think its just cuz nothing is up. Mine also appears to not work. Different from aoc where you could run the eleventeen splash screens and intro movie. I dont think its an issue though, just different.
Umm...here's some info for you guys (Open beta isn't up yet) so if you try logging in with one it just boots you out, and yes its the same client, oh wait no, its not the same yet it's the same exact game...I'm j/k if you didnt understand, so you cant login because your not authorized, and its the same client!
I don't even know where the "preview" information is? Anyone have a link to original post by Josh, Paul or Mark himself?
"Prior to the open beta, Mythic will be hosting a special North American Beta Preview Weekend, from August 22nd through August 25th, and 100,000 players will be invited to end the closed beta with a bang. Those who pre-ordered the now sold-out Collector's Edition will get top priority, but all are welcome to sign up at FilePlanet.com and try for a spot in this exciting event!"

I don't get why you guys don't believe me....why do you think the same exact game would use a totally different client if preview weekend IS just a 3day open beta access. JEEZ!
those of us ho were in aoc pvp weekend...it was adifferent client than the beta.
Yes but AoC was screwed up, their thing was all broken thats why, but like I said preview weekend just lets you play open beta for 3days then you have to wait for open beta, its that simple...
Cool Actually found this @ http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=184
"Concerning Preview Weekend:
All CE testers who have applied a code will be invited to preview weekend, regardless of computer specs or association. Please realize that this means there is no assurance that everyone invited can in fact run the game. In addition to CE all current closed beta participants will be participating in Preview Weekend and as an added bonus up to the first 50 thousand SE Open-Beta accounts registered on the Mythic Account Center will also be invited to join us for this stress test extravaganza!"
Sweet. Must mean I made one of the 50k...hehe
cool
So let me get this straight. If you have in your account management "WAR Preview", then that means your one of the first 50k that didnt order CE? And also if so, does that mean all we have to do is download the cilent from fileplanet and will be ready to go for the preview?
Thanks
Whew! Thanks, I owe you one. When I saw what you had enabled, I realized I forgot to activate both codes.

I can't wait! On another note, I did enter the head start code, but have not entered credit card information. Head start won't cost anything but the pre-order code? I remember Conan charged me about 5 or 6 bucks.
