I was invited to join the Tri-Horde Alpha push, but didn't start testing (playing) until the first week of February.

I've been playing it a while now, I'll probably end up buying it. Everyone in the EQ2 Beta sounds like swg all over again....

WoW is going to OWN EQ2

Just zoom in to 1st person view. I never do play in 1st person really though, 3rd looks cooler imo.

EQ2 is set to be released around the same time as WoW.... and it's had a much shorter beta sounds rushed to me. Blizzard seems to be rushing a bit to, but not as bad as EQ2.

AFAIK the combat is real time. Turns have nothing to do with it. And my limited playing experience during the stress test pretty much confirmed that it's real time.

Weapon speed is the main factor in who hits when. That and the casting time of spells.

That's just an estimated date set by stores, Blizzard has already said there is no confirmed release date.

hehe if you don't have the funds then I don't blame you. To add something to one of my previous posts, Blizzard said some time in November and they are very good at keeping to their schedule. Besides I trust EB Games. meh

Where/when did Blizzard say this? I am a Beta tester and browsing the WoW forums I have not seen a blue post stating a release date in November or any date.

Will the stress test install be patchable to open beta, or do we have to re-download the whole thing again?

I am pretty sure it is. You can even download the patches right now to keep it update when it goes open. Just log in using your stress test username and the game will update.

i am 85% certain they will make that date

they have to beat black friday so nov. 16 seems like the perfect timing for it


as for the open beta i am speculating it will begin the first week in november because it definitely is not going to run for longer than two weeks
