Voodoo Extreme (and everyone else) is reporting that Mythic has gotten over 200,000 Beta applications for Warhammer Online in their first 10 days alone. Good on ya, folks!

Mark Jacobs:

“We would like to thank the community for their tremendous response to Warhammer Online. The overwhelming worldwide reaction to the beta test has been phenomenal. The team has been working incredibly hard to create a genre-defining experience, and the beta sign-ups certainly validate the direction we’re taking the game. Player input and testing will be crucial in our efforts to complete the game, and we look forward to beta participants’ help in shaping Warhammer Online.”

See, if you put together a game that offers something different enough from the norm, you’ll get people’s attention even through their other strange fixations! It’s a winning combo! I’d also like to point out how awesome I am, and what good Beta tester I’d make … but those are separate things.

Unrelatedly, am I the only one that thinks these Guild War skill pins are the bees knees? I simply must pick up Meteor Swarm and Shield Bash while I’m at events this summer. MMOG-related swag is the est kind of swag, I say.
