Warhammer Preview Weekend - I’m In!

Posted by Stropp on August 19, 2008

Earlier this afternoon, after reading a comment on the Casualties forum by HarbingerZero, I checked my Warhammer account and saw one little line added to the end of  enabled items.

WAR Preview

Woo hoo!

I really didn’t expect to get into this. I mentioned in a previous post that I went to bed before Mythic had enabled the Open Beta and Head Start codes (around 2am) and didn’t enter the codes until about 11am the next morning. I fully expected that the 50,000 available SE slots would have been filled. Seems that wasn’t the case.

Ironically, I had seen only a few minutes before a post on Tobold’s blog where he was talking about the preview weekend, and where he had given a link to the Fileplanet download, and the Bittorrent link. I clicked on the Bittorrent link just to see what would happen, and viola! up came my Bittorrent client and WAR started downloading.

That was a few hours ago, and I’ve been getting a pretty decent download rate, at times above 400kB/s. I should have this sucker downloaded in another five or six hours with luck. That will give me plenty of time to set it up for this coming weekends preview.

All in all, I think this sort of news deserves a new Casualties Recruitment Poster.
