CrapolaJola · Aug 3, 2004, 09:12 PM

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, the latest installment in the 40k game series, is now into an open beta phase. The beta is exclusivly on FilePlanet and there's only a limited amount of opening in it. So, head on over to FilePlanet sign-up and start downloading. If you would like more info check out the previous news psots about Dawn of War or check out the gaming forum as a thread has been started and I will be starting another once my copy finishes downloading which won't take long since it's transferring at 360 KBs off of FilePlanet's dedicated server for this beta. Good luck on getting into the beta guys!

"It is with a great deal of sadness that I have to inform the community that we have decided to discontinue the development of Warhammer Online and will be closing down this website with immediate effect.

This has been a difficult and painful decision but it was taken following a following a full review of the progress of the game, costs to date and future costs of the project. As a result both Games Workshop and Climax Development Limited, the computer games developer, have agreed to terminate the development project.

I would like to say a personal thanks to all of the people who have followed our development over the last few years, your constant support and enthusiasm has meant a great deal to us.

Robin Dews."

They're two different games. I can't remember the specifics of Warhammer onlinem, I believe it was an RPG or something.
