Keeping the tradition of prioritizing pre-order customers, those who already bought a copy of Warhammer Online will be granted access to live servers up to four days earlier than the general public.

Eurogamer notes that Collector’s Edition pre-orders will be let in from September 14, with regular pre-orders joining a day later. The game launches for the public on September 18.

Those who create and progress with their characters created during this time will be able to retain them, though avatars created during the open beta cannot be transferred.
