I understand the specs required for WAR are just a bit ahead of WoWs. They may even become the same once WotLK is released.

Im thinking conan but maybe a little less advanced obviously. I have seen a few people moan about the specs but as far as i can see they aint too bad, more in line with WoW than AoC or am i missing something?

Unfortunately I’m not in the beta, so I don’t have a lot of details on character creation. I’m keen on a decent character editor too. I thought from the start that was one area WoW really fell down on, especially considering how detailed some of the character editors were getting at the time.

Does anyone know what the create a character is like? Im hoping it is better than WoWs which doesnt have too many options. There is nothing worse than bumping into a ‘clone’

Jason, I received a card with codes for open beta and head start printed on it with some instructions. Going to the URL on the card indicated that the open beta would be open on the 15th.

I did go into the store. Not a big deal for me since EBG is in a shopping centre (mall) very close to me, walking distance in fact.

I’ll be able to download and start playing the game with the headstart and when the box arrives at the store, I’ll head in and pick it up. I figure I then have to enter the codes from the box version to continue playing.

Any idea on how EBgames is handling the beta keys when Mythic announces a date for open beta? Are they emailing them to customers? Or do you have to stop by the store and pick up a box/whatever?
