Preparing for WAR – would you accept a ‘freebie’ account?

September 9, 2008

Tobold is curious to know if any other press/bloggers got offered a ‘free’ WAR account, as he did? It’s an interesting question, as no-one else seems to be holding their hand up on it to say they did.
It has also sparked my curiosity to know, so I’ll ask the question here – have you been [...]

Preparing for WAR – EU open beta flounders

September 8, 2008
