Sounds like Fileplanet are in so much trouble :D

Looks like they are sending the keys out in batches and might take a few days to get yours when this thing just lasts 5-7 days. :D

Also they are refusing refunds since they say that you are paying for a fileplanet account and not just to download 1 item (the WoW file and key).

And some rumors that they have limited amount of keys and will not have enough. :p

Thank god open beta is soon and it's free and available to all of us.

Good luck all that have sold their souls to fp :D


Pwned :D

I worked for a subscription based website and we always said "no refunds" but you can you just need to get your hands dirty. (Sportsline.com)

Finally got my key from fileplanet after hours of waiting. Several more hours of downloading to come from fileplanet. At least it downloads faster than the blizzard downloader does.

Happens for me also but the upload seems to only work for like 10-30 seconds at those speeds then stops and is a 0 for the next minute or 2.

It was that link that was posted earlier that I have only seen and its quite slow.

Seems like fileplanet doesn't even have any up yet for their paying customers :D

Might want to look on some p2p torrent programs soon and try to get it there.

Nice job guys, you've done well to assure that in the future more betas will be handled this way (contracted out to FilePlanet).

Couldn't wait a few more days? :roll:

$15 for 5-7 days of playing makes baby jesus cry (sounds like the $8 one doesn't work for this)

i really wouldn't have a problem with it

if it didn't suck so bad

i thought i was paying for a fast download in a few hours like 3 or less

and be playing


i was dead wrong
and FWIW this is a "stress test" not beta which will be in a week
all i know is I will never deal with FP again and im sure thousands of others won't either

from this experience

Well you were so wrong and so pwned :D

Wonder if employees at fileplanet are laughing at so many pwns? :p

Don't worry man, it should work the day before open beta comes out.

so let me get this straight this is just a week long stress test and in a week open beta will be here for the masses? When open beta is here how will i get the client? Through FP or Blizzard?
I was under the impression this was the open beta. Oh well. Oh and I am guessing WOW won't be here in Nov.

This is a stress test for 5-7 days and open "should" be after that.

As for the client it should be free available through fileplanet and other download sites that blazzard will link in case you missed the link that was active in this thread for a bity :D

And WoW might be in November, it's more of fileplanets fault for not expecting such a large demand for the game.
