At last, everyone's chance to get into the beta for an extended period of time and see for yourself what it is like to truly join the forces of Order, or be captured and used for the forces of Destruction.  Either way, mighty armies will come crushing down upon your piddly little group as you timidly adventure out onto the battlefield.  Study those careers, work in the mills to hone your tradeskills, and go out and adventure to spot out strategic locations for an ambush or two of your own.  WAAAGH!!!

The Reckoning is at hand as hundreds of thousands can now embark on their epic adventures in Open Beta!

This is a monumental step for the game and the community and it is with great pleasure that we welcome you all.

WAR has come, it is now up to you to forge your destiny and choose your allegiance in this epic struggle.

We would like to thank the entire team here at Mythic and Electronic Arts, our dedicated Closed Beta Testers, and the thousands of players like you who make up our great community. Combined our efforts have brought us to this point in this epic journey and we have truly created a game we can all be proud of for years to come.

Thank you everyone and see you on the battlefield!
- The Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Team

And of course, don't forget to test the game for bugs and other concerns as well! We wouldn't want the forces of Order to actually be able to gain a foothold upon release, would we?
