It has been delayed a bit as the game does not meet our open beta level of standard just yet. No exact date to give, but I fixed your problem, check your Inbox ;)

Man, every new update I check in to see if its the one that means Open Beta has started. Ever since the Stress Test Weekend, I'm keeping an eye on you guys.. I had a blast over those couple days and can't wait till Dogs of War goes live. It really hits the tactics and card building notes that I love.

Anyway, I guess I'll keep checking in with each new updating, hoping it's the one that finally means this game goes live! :)
