Awesome :D

for you all..but not for me =(

im living in Singapore..how long must i wait??!!!

so when do you think open beta will be out? monday?

Id say at least a week or two.

I can't believe people actually use the rating thing. What a bunch of sensitve morons rating someone down for a funny joke.

Anyways HOORAY BETA

Okay, in my lurking around the Blizzard forums I found this little tidbit:

"2. There will be more patches before open beta." --Ordinn

This is where I found it: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=392801&p=1#post392801

So far in the Beta, it's been a touch more than a month between patches. The quickest I can think of happened recently-- nine days from patch to patch. Given the frequency between patches, I think we can safely say Open Beta won't start until the last week of October AT THE EARLIEST. Most likely, we're looking at a nice Halloween present from Blizzard. Until then, sadly, we'll all have to stew in our own juices.

i just want to thank the accadamy.

Games take time. I'd much rather wait and have a semi-bug free game, then them put it out on the market knowing it sucks.

Also, the game is being released first in NA and Korea. Seems like doing NA-open beta first is a logical discision. I doun't they're trying to "***** the people what are non-NA."

People need to calm down. It's just like in FFXI where everyone was so damn sure that the Japanese were in some huge plot to make sure the Americans didn't get NM spawns or with the current release of CoP, that the Japanese had a HUGE advantage because they get it a few days earlier. Trust me, I doubt any company who is worth a damn is going to "***** over" people in other countries who want to partake of their product.

"Honestly I am starting to get tired of waiting."
"its been 3+ years, and they have not released it yet.."

Woah, come on now! Okay, so three years in development is a long time... so you're gonna give up on it NOW? When the game is actually close to release? When there is actually stuff to get excited about?

This was probably just a PR botch on the part of Blizzard. In fact, it's a remake of a PR botch on the part of Westwood. When the original "Command and Conquer" came out, there was a trailer on the CD for something called "Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun". But Westwood did a bunch of things without working on Tiberian Sun at all. When Tiberian Sun finally came out, six years had passed, and everyone thought, "Well, it was in development for six years, it must be awesome!" And it was only so-so. It was a fairly good game... but the pressure was so intense and the expectations so high that even a fairly good game looked like a piece of trash. Call it "Episode I" syndrome. The moral of the story: resist the temptation to release the news about your projects immediately. Wait until you're getting reasonably close to done. Reasonably close, in Blizzard time, is about 18 months.

Having said all that... with only one more month to go you're gonna bum out now? C'mon, show some Stamina. As of now, you are allowed to get excited about World of Warcraft. It's close, really close. One month max to Open Beta, two months max to release. Feeling it yet?

Lie and say ur in america

for retail import it and lie and say ur in america

Or wait longer

soo can anyone help me out? :P. BTW I read the post that you are supposed to read before posting, and I don't think the beta questions really apply to what I'm asking, especially since now we know that open beta is coming soon. I am just looking for general information about how to test a game that is in open beta, because I've never done it before and no absolutely NOTHING about it.

Again, all help is greatly appreciated

later

Yes, applicants. Open Beta, as I understand it, isn't actually "open". The only people who get in are the ones who applied for beta positions in February. You know, the 300,000 or so applicants?

I really doubt there will be another application process. If you didn't sign up in February you are pretty much screwed as far as open beta is concerned.
