WAR EU Headstart Dates AnnouncedTags: in Anonymous External News News Warhammer Online Community Site Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
Posted August 29th, 2008 by Taea

This just in for fans of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, in the European client realm. The Headstart dates for the pre order early entry are confirmed. Collector's Edition customers will be in game a full day earlier than those with the Standard Edition.

All Collector's Edition pre-order customers will have access to the Headstart from the 14th of September while all Standard Edition pre-orders will be joining them a day later on the 15th. The full range of live servers will be available to choose from when the Headstart begins and you will be able to keep your characters and any progress you made with them for the live launch on the 18th of September (note that this only applies to characters created during the Headstart, all Open Beta characters will be wiped before the Headstart begins).

This will be a very exciting time for everyone as we begin the realm WAR in earnest!

Likely will be the same for NA too.

Wow, GOA is actually ahead of Mythic on this one. That's surprising.

I think they are trying to stay ahead after all the flak they have been getting maybe. Good to hear CE is a day earlier, too bad our CE only faces don't work till we get the boxed game.

Where is this stated?? I have yet to have seen this rumor be true about the faces..

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Will we have to create a new character just to use the special heads?

I hope that isn't true

Yea, I hate to go all WoW on this, but... link or it's not true.

Still not sure where it is originally posted from, looking that up.

Edit.

I thought that the heads were included in the item code O.o

From what I just read, when you get the CE, you enter that code to set your account as a CE account then you can go back and actually change the face. I wonder what the dark elf extra head is...

They only work for the special people

Concerning CE Items and the Head Start EDITED FOR CLARIFICATION:

Any characters created during the head start will have access to the exclusive faces. However, they cannot change their face until the CE Product Key is entered.

The answer will be obvious once you see it in action, but for now let me try to explain. Players will be able to create and play their head start characters, however, during the headstart they will not have access to the in game bonuses provided with the collectors edition. Once a CE product code is associated with their account they will be able to use them post launch, this includes everything from the exclusive faces to the cloaks and everything included within the CE even on characters made during the head start.

That's straight from the Mythic site. HERE

Ah, that's good to know.

Not terribly clear, but I think you can get the general idea out of it.

Yes thanks for the info!
