WoW Beta released(closed beta)

Grubbie · 03-19-2004, 02:25 PM

Just giving everyone a headups, it was released last night so you will be seeing a TON of screenshots from it coming out since they lifted the NDA. NO movies though which sucks though.
You can check out the new beta community site at www.worldofwarcraft.com

Some of the fan sites are starting to post pics now

I will post some more info later when more and more info is released this weekend.

I know I can't wait for this game to come out, to bad I didn't get in the damn beta

Oh well gotta wait for the open beta in the next couple of months.

There has to be somebody on this board who is a tester for it

I wish I got in, but it was about a 2.5% chance or something. I think after this weekend there will be lots of posts and reviews up, I forgot to post this link, but this was from an alpha tester, Nice LONG read.

This game's really looking good. I never thought i'd play a mmorpg, but hey there's a first for everything.

Booyamos · 03-20-2004, 10:07 AM

Heh Grubbie beat me to posting it. I was basically gonna say the same things.

I am really looking forward to this game. SWG sucked IMO. Too bad i didn't get in the beta either. Anyone have want to give me their spot

gear02 · 03-20-2004, 10:31 AM

Some people are saying they had to login, I dind't but who knows...

verve247 · 03-26-2004, 05:20 PM

Good news, they are going to slowly open up the Beta for everyone that signed up. Just got to be patient, and wait for an email.

Its less then a 2% chance that you will get in. They have let in about 2000 or so already. Phase 2 has been sent out. The beta will last a good 5months atleast(word from blizzard employee in the forums).

And trust me I am waiting

ski · 03-27-2004, 01:30 PM

Those videos looked sweet! Mmmm... flying

The reason you may have to login is that the 640x480 sized videos are only available to IGN Insider members.

Blitz · 03-27-2004, 05:55 PM

Been beta testing Lineage 2, its pretty fun I have to admit.

In the next few weeks of open beta will determin if I decide to buy the game or not, so will tell you the outcome later.

Ya i downloaded that and set it up last night. I just can't login though. Oh well, I will try again after dinner.

yippiekiyeh · 03-29-2004, 08:08 PM

Which servers are you all logging into (Lineage II) ?

yippiekiyeh · 03-30-2004, 05:15 PM

Also how long did it take before they sent you a serial key? It's been a few days but no serial key in sight

Grubbie · 03-31-2004, 11:46 AM

I got my serial key a couple days before the beta started(applied a week before open beta started). I think server 2 is what I am logging into to.

I am going to be playing tonite, grinding my orc up.

yippiekiyeh · 03-31-2004, 07:11 PM

Hey grub let me know who you are in game? I just got my serial and I'll try logging into the 2nd server tonight.

Grubbie · 04-01-2004, 08:27 AM

Will do, you can msg me in game by typing "Grubbie

It is a PAIN in the ass to login at night, I was playing till about 8:30 and took a break, and couldn't get back in from 9 up intill midnight when I went to bed.

I will probably be playing today around 6 or 7pm eastern time.

Blitz · 04-01-2004, 11:22 AM

Hey guys sorry I havent been able to play at all since beta went open

Been way to busy trying to learn a bunch of songs and organize a new band for a friends party (might actually become something if all works out, this is the test). So well see

Its weird for me to say this, but...i......dont have much....time for games right now! there! I said it!

Im updating the game right now, I'll perhaps try to join you guys when I get a chance. The 2nd server you said? I'll try to send you guys a tell when I get in. Perhaps saturday would be better for me to meet up w/ you guys in-game.

Rock on!

Grubbie · 04-01-2004, 06:52 PM
