Warhammer Online publisher EA Mythic announced today that the tabletop strategy game-turned MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning's Beta registration is now open. If you are eager to get a sampling of the game's unique Realm vs. Realm gameplay, then now is your chance.

The Closed Beta Test is open on an invite-only basis. North American players can apply for a spot on the game's official Site, while European gamers can sign up here. EA Mythic will be selecting players based on a number of criteria, including "computer system specs, game experience, newsletter subscription, and community involvement." The Beta is limited to players 18 years and older.

Warhammer Online will still be released in 2008 so this is a good chance to get an early start into the game.
