Just after my return I’ve read a lot o posts on KotE guild forum regarding the Open Public Beta of the Warhammer Online game, the only hope of MMORPG community to be able to compete with World of Warcraft (after Age of Conan problems). Anyway the beta of WAR has ’started’ on this Sunday and it has failed on the very beginning. It is not a game or game servers were dead. It was a web infrastructure of GOA company who provides WAR infrastructure for the Europe. People weren’t able to register, to enter their codes, to get confirmation e-mails and thus were unable to play. It leads to a dramatic message from a GOA’s CEO at 3 AM with apologies for the customers. Anyway, my folks were able to run this game just on yesterday’s evening (it is more than 50 hours after launch) and still some of them are not able to log-in because of missing confirmation e-mail.

It is a real stress test, no doubts about that :)

Anyway I hope that all problems will be solved and Warhammer will become real competitor for World of Warcraft. Good luck Mythic & GOA.
