So last night I decided to tourture myself and load up WoW. I logged in and to my surprise it DL an update. Once the update was complete, it said, "the application needs to be restarted in order to take effect". I let it restart and then it began to load up Blizzard's torrent and began to DL a620MB patch.

WTF! Anyone getting this?

I thought they deleted all the stress account though. I found this interesting none the less.

no your account is still there but i doubt you can actually get in the game....

Unless they picked you as a new beta phase tester OR a stress test high level winner..

new phase of beta started yesterday...
1000s more invites went out and another server went up.

haha we've even got permission to give them out from Blizzard.

As you know, Blizzard is conducting a new phase of the World of Warcraft closed beta test. As a part of this phase, over 10,000 new beta account authentication keys were emailed to prospective testers.

Unfortunately, an error was made during the issuing of these keys and a number of current beta testers accidentally received a second authentication key.

Although it was never our intention to send additional keys to current testers, we feel it would be counterproductive to disable these keys when the opportunity presents itself to widen the beta test pool. Thus, we encourage you to distribute this second key to a friend. Please do not create a second account with your new key as this would be in violation of the Terms of Use agreement.

This email authorizes you to deliver the second authentication key, along with the original email instructions, to a friend whom you believe would make a valuable addition to the closed beta test. This person can then create an account to play World of Warcraft by visiting www.worldofwarcraft.com.

After creating a World of Warcraft account, your friend will need to contact Billing and Account Services at BLAHBLAH@blizzard.com to change the email address associated with this second key. If your friend does not change the email address, then any future emails related to that account, including technical support information and instructions on downloading subsequent patches, will go to the original email attached to the second authentication key and not to your friend.

For quick access to each individual tester, and to comply with the Beta Test Terms of Use agreement, please ensure that whomever you give the second authentication key to immediately associates their email address to the second key.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see both you and your friend in the World of Warcraft soon.
