Warhammer Online has a press release up that states that half a million people have signed up for beta!

    "It’s fantastic that over half a million players want to help us with the development of WAR," said Mark Jacobs, VP and General Manager of EA Mythic. "Their feedback will help us take WAR to the next level as we focus on refining game play, adding polish, and most importantly, making sure the game is extremely fun. We can’t wait to let them all into the living, breathing Warhammer universe that we’re creating."

If you haven't yet signed up for the beta, you can do so right here!  No news yet on when the second round of beta will commence.
