Ok folks, one small critic: why did you have to register on the last possible minute, when you knew OB was coming? Now all those registering folks bog down the site further. Geez with this flood here we will bring down MMORPG.com soon too, teh.
You are going to get flamed for that. It hasn't been possible to register until now if you weren't in Closed Beta.

I dont know if that was irony or not. But GOA suspended all of ours old accounts(all us who wasnt in closed beta) and we have to make new ones(www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showpost.php), but we havent been able to do so until today, due to the registration page have been down for maintenace for days.
EDIT: Warhammer alliance forums have a rough time today, I get a "this page cant load error" when I try to access it.

I got the impression since many wrote they wait for an email the create accounts just now, and it was possible long ago to do that. Only entering the key is just since now - or not as it seems.
even with people telling GOA that this would happen and being fobbed off by arrogant community managers do you think that we should have these clowns removed and EA given the job of running the show in Europe?
Registration, beta registration or not, is the most basic thing that an MMO company has to get right. Because if you cant get that right then you loose the faith of your customer base that you can get anything else right. We are supposed to be testing the game not testing GOA's login server, that should have been done at least a week ago. Just called a buddy of mine who managed to get a US beta key and he says the login there is as smooth as sink. Why? Because they had the foresight to test it good and early.
Also everyone who is entering their personal details on that login screen, myself included, is doing so on a http not an https which means that loads of personal info is being sent across the interwebs in an unsecure manner. That people is a criminal lack of foresight and security on GOA's part. Also the guys in the US are being held up waiting for GOA to get their head out their ass and get the show on the road and that is just not fair on them. This is the worst ob launch in the history of ob launches by a company not fit to run a company web server let alone a MMO server cluster.

Lol GOA
IM PATCHING
204mb file i think it was originally.
Note: I was in the closed beta, so I did not have to deal with registering.
gl guys!
anyone has successfully done it
new error here, every account name i try to eznter after a few times it says already in use wtf but i don't progress i just stay at step 3
"One day all will die, surely you but never I." Wheel of Time
press back button bottom left the go forward and re enter
i have used so far 2 of my own emails and my wifes and my brothers email so far
2 ol d and 2 new
sometimes it says logged in network error etc
what speeds do you get?
I can't even get Register up - . - i click it but all i can see is the Warhammer online Age of reckoning and nothing else....
maybe if a bolt of lightening hit GOA there server power would be boosted and we could all get our emails real fast

im bored of waiting somone bring me pizza
mmm pizza
5 level 80's on WoW -_- boooooring !!
Well i keep geting the 414 error, im afread that this will take forever.
Its typical GOA, why did they not have this D..... website ready a week ago.
Tried all your browsers? Firefox, IE, Opera, chrome?
what speeds do you get?
Hardly anything. Need to keep restarting client after a while because it freezes.
I think i have done about 5% so far. After 20-30mins maybe =/
Right now its just sitting there trying to connect I think.
