Yesterday, the European beta for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning kicked off, but now without a few problems. With high levels of traffic hitting the official European site, along with a few other problems, GOA, the publisher for the UK version of the game, weren't very prepared.

Ghislaine Le Rhun, chief executive of GOA, posted up an article earlier today (which you can see in the quote) apologizing to every Euro player who was eagerly waiting to play the beta.

Dear all,

I rarely address players directly, but I wanted to write you as too few of you have been able to access the open beta today.

As my team explained in the previous post, although we have opened the servers and corrected numerous issues during the last 24 hours but we have not yet solved the issue of saturated Open Beta key activations that we’re currently experiencing. I am sincerely sorry for this, and I understand all the frustration the situation has spawned.

Today was a dark day. We expected a massive influx of players, but reality was even harsher.
I personally commit that we will communicate to you as clearly as possible on the resolution of these current issues. My goal is to give Warhammer Online the success it deserves. Be ensured that all GOA teams, with Mythic’s support, are working hard to bring you the best possible game experience.

Best regards,
Ghislaine Le Rhun
GOA CEO
