I got lucky today. Won a book and was invited to the beta of Warhammer Online. The latter isn’t so much about being lucky as I expect they invited most of everyone now that they launch in one month.

I actually had no plans to participate into the beta or even play the game at release (or write comments about it), but some things changed and it’s wise if I give a look in advance.

I didn’t see anything first-hand for now, just noticed I have a key for the beta and launching the torrent on the other PC to download the client. Since the NDA will be released next week I’ll do a write up as I expect to have something to say.

For once I’ll try to not write 100 pages of text and summarize what’s most relevant, both from the point of view of game design and the average player.
