<a href="http://www.mythicentertainment.com">Mythic</a>'s Mark Jacobs wrote a <a href="http://vnboards.ign.com/warhammer_online_age_of_reckoning_general_board/b22997/108139367/p1/">post-announcement update</a> on the <a href="http://vnboards.ign.com/">Vault Network boards</a> today. The purpose of the post was to clarify some of the details about the release date, pre-orders, and the beta test. <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> fans should definitely read the post. Most of what he said was clarification about known information, but there were a couple big reveals.<br /><br />Jacob hopes that the nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that prevents current <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/warhammer-online"><em>WAR</em></a> beta testers from publicly discussing their experiences will end next week. He noted that three issues have been preventing the team from taking that step so far, but that progress has been made and resolutions are imminent.<br /><br />The other big news: folks who pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of the game will soon be invited to participate in the closed beta test. This is probably only a small win for those folks, given the <a href="http://www.keenandgraev.com/?p=1280">rumors</a> that the open beta is a couple weeks away. Jacobs declined to confirm a date for the open beta, saying that the announcement will come when the game is 100% ready. Not committing is a wise move in light of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/05/01/massivelys-state-of-the-game-age-of-conan-beta/">problems</a> <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> had in its open beta event.<br /><hr />
