Mark Jacobs, the Mythic Entertainment General Manager, had a few words to say about the launch of Open Beta for Warhammer Online. Acknowledging the problems that the European fans have experienced, Jacobs reminds everyone to play nice.

Why do some people feel it is okay to threaten, curse, abuse and be downright hostile to other people over a game, especially in this case when it is only over access to a game that is still in testing (Open Beta Test = Not Yet Ready For Prime Time, Players)? While I’ve become quite cynical over the decades, I still find myself amazed at times at certain people’s reactions to stuff like this. I don’t mind when people get upset but to treat other people in such a callous, mean and immature manner is really a bit much.
