RPS have blogged up on the state of the WAR beta inclusions, adding that there is still no offical monthly sub fees.

After astonishing amounts of confusion, GOA has finally made what appears to be the definitive statement regarding Open Beta access for those who pre-order Warhammer Online from the EA Store, and Direct2Drive.

It seems their plan was to not announce which of their partners would be offering customers OB access until the day the game becomes officially available for pre-order sale - this Thursday. However, EA and D2D, who it turns out will be amongst those partners, put the information up early. GOA then responded to this by, er, denying it. Now they have said they intended Open Beta to be available via certain pre-order outlets all along.

Despite GOA's Community Manager, MagnusK, rather unambiguously responding to the question, "Will EU SE pre-order customers get into WAR Open Beta?" with, "No," it seems the answer was rather, "Yes."
