World of Warcraft OPEN Beta (STARTS SOON)

[FlasHBurN]

Well, as of right now, closed beta is over. The website is also down, so open beta sign ups should be up once the site comes back.


edit: Well it looks like closed beta will actually be ending tomorrow afternoon, with open beta starting up shortly thereafter.

I can't wait, sounds like the closed beta people will be keeping their characters for this part so not sure how this will be for the PvP servers

I don't understand why people are choosing WoW over EQ2. EQ2 has much more depth if you ask me.

First of all, this has nothing to do with EQ2 or 'choosing' WoW over it. This is just to let people know that Open Beta will be starting for WoW, unlike EQ2 which won't even have an Open Beta.

Props to Blizzard for at least having an open beta.......this doesn't seem to be the case with EQ 2. No open beta and what looks to be a rush job to release the game before WoW makes me very suspicious about the release-worthiness of EQ 2.

Sounds like EQ2 is going to be like SWG release was and buggy up the wazoo

Just another reason not to rush a game out to get a 2 week jump on another game

Yea, who wouldn't want to pay up for a buggy as hell, poor performing, boring game? Staring at long loading screens is so much fun. I played the beta for a little while. If they did Open Beta, more people would realize how bad it is and sales would drop.

As for WoW beta, yes this is good news but I think it's still two weeks away. They have to open the signups, keep them open for a little while, then close them and start the open beta afterwards.

Bah I posted a thread about this first... anyways

Stress Test is 0.9.1

The current patch AFAIK is 0.12.0

You would need to download 0.10.0 + 0.11.0 + 0.12.0, and there will be a new patch/client before OB starts. So might as well wait it out.

Don't worry, I still love you

 

[bunker]

New stress test client will be available for download some time tonight (according to the email I got from Blizzard). Current beta testers can d/l the client tonight, then I assume open testers will d/l as soon as they finish the sign up process. Once the open beta (stress test 2 as Blizzard is calling it) goes live, there will be another patch to download. I'm clearing up the 4gb of space from the current beta install tonight.

 

[CVSiN]

Ya me too.. already killed my wow directory.. will start the new dload tonight..
they said the servers goign to be down a few days though..

 

[wheresmybacon]

Perfect timing! I'm moving in to my new place on Monday and will likely have a little downtime while Comcast installs cable in my new digs?

I can't wait for retail.

And CVSiN, to answer your question, I haven't played a hunter yet, but I've killed several. The toon I played most was a mage, but come retail I'm either going shaman, shadow priest, or rogue.

EDIT: wrong thread

I can't get into the beta site.

main site is also down...they said late morning, i'm SHOCKED
:roll:

EDIT: heh, they're up now...weren't when I left home @ 12:45 EST! No news though, except they added a few new links (like download WoW and account and billing management) at the right side and apparently changed the webpage format a bit.

Open beta installer is up! - 2563mb.

Closed beta people have to login and go to Download to see the link.

There isn't a link for the general public yet... =/

I'd be more worried about JoePa than the download limits.

Download 1.5gb worth, then take the incomplete file and resume the torrent on a buddy's computer... =)
