I know someone at Blizzard and I got him the invite. It's for the real beta, not just the stress test. Now settle down Beavis. :p

Hell, I don't see why they don't release it now and just patch it weekly, the game works better than most do 6 months after their release.

Yep. It was in exchange for the hot deal I found Fausto on overstock leather chaps. :p

Yep I still remember stress testing UO and EQ at release and paying them to do it. :confused:

This email is to let you know that (Name Removed) has requested to sign you up for the World of Warcraft beta test. You are now on a waiting list to be added to the beta. Once we are able to add additional people to the test, we will send you a new email with instructions on how to create your account, download, and play. Until that time, please be patient and do not contact Blizzard employees for a status update. They do not have this information.

Thanks for your interest in helping us beta test World of Warcraft. We look forward to adding you to the beta and seeing you in Azeroth as soon as possible!

Sincerely,

Blizzard Entertainment

do you guys think now that blizzard will be the first company ever to release a mostly finished and polished MMO that it will raise the bar of future MMO's? im hoping i dont have to pay for beta testing for future games anymore.

It already feels like a finished game, like pretty much all blizzard games have at beta. Just a matter of adding a few things in and tweaking.

Even during the stress test, lag is imperceptible most of the time.

But downloading is such a pain.
They go with BT, but while it's downloading, nothing, I mean, browsing really doesn't work.
Stupid client.
