i spammed the site about 5 times and got the email about 5 mins afterwards - worked for me - this was about 7 am gmt though so may have been less busy. I was waiting for about 16 hours before i did this though.
Game server just went down i think - if anyone knows if it did please let me know. Thanks
I think this has been a complete and outter failure, no communication, no support, its an absolute shambles. 24hrs after I was supposed to be able to play and nothing. The worst thing is I dont know its there is something wrong with my version since alot of people are going on about downloading a new client.
I validated my key, got my email, got into my account, patched it to 100%, hit play.....
and nothing happened, like I hit close or something.
This is indeed nothing short of abysmal, yet I am not surprised.. It is GOA after all. One would think that they would actually try harder this time around concidering what they did to the EU version of DAoC, but alas, they clearly do not care for their customers, nor the reputation of Mythic.
I have gotten both my emails, it "only" took about 3-4 hours. The problem is that I cannot log in to the patcher client, so no patching, no playing. I'm getting the "Authentication Failed" message.. last night they said "Our technical teams are aware of this issue and are currently fixing it. It should work at the end of the evening". Well, 14 hours later and I'm still getting nowhere.
I'm gona have to say that as long as GOA is in charge of the european service WAR is not worth it. This is only an open beta. but it shows how inept they are at solving problems. Imagine if this where to happen at the "real" launch or a few weeks after.
As long as GOA has anything to do with WAR, I will not give them my money, the risk of a subpar service is just to great.
"Previously when you validated your code, there was a delay between the confirmation email and you being able to access the servers, our technicians have worked to remove this delay and now you will be able to patch and play as soon as your confirmation email is received. The last remaining 10,000 players who were waiting for access can now join the action on the servers."
Has anyone.....anyone...found any more information about the login 'authentication' error? I can't believe we still can't get in and no word since yesterday.....
lots of just just spammed the sit whit out information and then we got the key have you all tryed taht ?.. i did it around 15 times before i got mine but didnt took me more then 15 to 20min

that hasn't worked so far for me. I first tried spam attack at about 10am GMT with 5 in succession. Then I tried again a bit later with 10 completed forms all open in my browser, clicking one after the other. Still no email, so since then I have been filling forms randomly in between reading forum posts. I estimate I must have submitted another 15 forms, so in total, I have submitted 30 forms this morning and still no email. I didn't even get an email to ask me to stop please sending requests to their site. I hope I am not flagged as a spam sender by now, although that is possible. However, I doubt with the number of incoming requests they would have bothered with the overhead of a filtering system, so at least my requests must have been recorded and are sitting waiting to be checked by their broken database software whatevar
i entered my beta code just over a day ago and i still havent had an e-mail to say if it worked or not
i have since re entered my code a good 10 times, and no e-mail, GOA has now taken over 2 days of my open beta and im sittin here waiting for a bloody e-mail
Begin to make your account, enter your codes and play, my fellow Europeans.
I feel that some mention of eating and sleeping during the account creation process would have been a good idea, else people could very well die before getting into the beta!
OK I know this is a really noob question. But as there is zero communication from the official site could some one help me? First I need to create an account for the War page , and after getting a conformation e-mail for that, move on to validating my key and wait for a second e-mail? Or just simply validate the key and wait for the link in the email to arrive ?

lol GOA just turned mythic's lovely game into a joke .
Is the GOA CEO related to the mythic CEO because for the life of my i cannot see after GOA handling of DAoC they managed to get WAR too

even game network can do better than these GOA benders.
Warhammer alliance is a forum where seems to be the most updates from GOA etc and the faggot that runs that site banned me for saying the below....
---------
What could GOA do better in the future to make things smoother in general? Please provide examples.
Nothing, a leopard cant change its spots and any games in the future will just as fubar

Seriously what happened to freedom of speach? Little emo kid faggot

NO! - still doesnt work
he is a fu**in liar, I had that since last night patched and everything and I still canot play.
the only thing worth knowing right now is how many people aren't playing. As if those actually playing the beta would read his bs news messages.
Has anyone.....anyone...found any more information about the login 'authentication' error? I can't believe we still can't get in and no word since yesterday.....
