I've been trying since FilePlanet first opened up..since 3pm or so.
 
there are actually a couple servers on fileplanet that have no queue.

I thought I had the file awhile ago, until I came back to my computer to find that I didn't have enough space on my hdd...I have some now, but I better burn some more off for installation space.
 
yay it worked randomly...just figured "Why not check it?" and i got it..muahahah no sitting there refreshing like all of u

anyone got a private server i can d/l it off of? my campus isn't very nice to BT ><
 
Sneak Peek of Onyxia!

==================================
WARNING: Possible WoW Spoilers...
==================================

"...Rumors of Onyxia, an enormous black dragon, have been heard through out Azeroth. Be sure to bring many brave warriors for she won't take kindly to intruders in her lair. Both factions will need to complete unique, and challenging quests to gain access to the Onyxia encounter. (During the beta testing there will be a temporary placeholder vendor who sells keys to Onyxia's lair for testing purposes)..." -WoW Beta Patch Notes 11/7/04

Our brave raid party of 32 people wiped 5 times on Onyxia's guards, but we finally made it through to her lair and survived long enough to make two attempts to kill her.

Yes we all died - but OMG, was it fun!!

Some screenshots of tonight's raid:

Yeah that is the key for everyone. I just signed up... but still downloading the dang software.... DUDE I cannot believe it is 2.5gb..... 😛
 
wth. I have to re-d/l the whole client for a THIRD time! First was corrupted and when I come back to my comp expecting to see it on my desktop for a second time, my internet browser is closed, and there's NO new files on my desktop! :|:Q
The only upside is that I do have an account, so it seems like I've secured a spot to play online. The question is whether I can get the game within 2 weeks without further...inconveniences:evil:

I got the official blizzard one and 2 additional torrents downloading. One of these had better work.

me as well, seems the torrent link in this thread before has the wrong checksums. :| they were saying on the official forums if you extracted with winrar it failed, and you needed to use winzip 9.0.
 
This is a lot of fun. I probably won't play it past the open beta because it would completely consume my life, but I'm going to have a hard time quitting.
 
Started a Night Elf druid and hasn't really pulled me in. The graphics are a little too cartoony for me...

For those who have played the game longer: Are there a good amount of dungeons in the game?
