Mythic has created some sort of mini-game to produce hype and up their beta sign-ups. Seems to be pretty fun, you collect gold and battle with and against other fans for your realm. Something to do while waiting for open beta to start I thought, made me really happy tbh and as I was eager to try it out I began typing my beta info in the login fields but stopped as I saw the text below.

Start the Realm War now. Join Order or Destruction, Earn Gold to win battles in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The Winning Realm will be rewarded with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning in-game prizes.

Woot! You can earn in-game prizes as well! But wait now just a second...

...North America, Australia, and New Zealand.

There ain't any EU version!!! WTF!? Alright, calm down now. There has to be a EU site as well somewhere, right? Apparantly, no, there are no EU version to be found. After realizing this, some more nerd-rage arouse and I have to leave the computer to grab something to eat and calm down.

I really, really, hope that this doesn't show how things will be done in the future. With that I mean that customers from NA will be the privileged ones and that the EU will be considered as second-grade customers. Sort of how I've heard it was in DAoC. Since it has something to do with beta maybe it's just GOA that are slow as usual, they haven't even fixed their site yet. Let's just hope their new one doesn't use the ridiculous amount of flash their current one does and that it gets updated at a reasonable speed. Flash is evil and it shouldn't be several days between the NA site and GOA's, imo.
