Okay, I'm a patient guy and will say that its best to wait for the game to go gold and do something else in the meantime. Today, I'm not using that mentality at all...

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com

Check to your right, people. Whats that we see? A option to download WoW? Could the day be upon us? The day where we *gasp* finally get to play open beta???

This information current as of 12:24 Central Standard Time:

The link Remoonxl refers to leads to a log-in page, requesting account name and password. Below that is a link that says, "Don't have an account? Click here!"

Currently that link is dead. However, I don't anticipate that to be the case for very long.

More on this as it develops.

You know when I think about it, I really shouldn't have been too reactive and post this topic. That client could have been for the stress test people for all I know. Pity I can't rate myself down ;_;

It's not a joke. If only I could figure out some way to get the .torrent file from the Blizzard installer I would be quite happy. If anyone has any information on how to pull .torrent files from the blizz installer please send me a message on AIM. My screen name on there is Blyndspydr. Hopefully open beta signups will occur soon though.

I recall seeing somewhere that Blizz is making people create new stress test/open beta accounts for this go around. Fortunately Closed Beta accounts still work, although I believe that there has been a character wipe. I'm pretty sure that Blizz has the gold copy ironed out with this last patch and is stamping copies of the game as we speak. Of course I have absolutely no proof of this, but it would make sense with how many retail companies already have shipping confirmation dates through UPS/FEDEX/etc.

So does anyone so far have any idea how to grab the .torrent file from this .exe? I need to throttle my upload speed a little to help my download. Of course I don't mind leaving the .torrent open a while longer, I just want to get logged back on and find out the status of my characters... sure I only had one higher level character (44 rogue) but I had grown quite attached to him. :\

It's officially true in my book. The file is actually d/ling for me. Now to cancel before the original owner of this computer becomes pissed...

According to the email we received from Blizzard last week, there is no character wipe at least for the Stress Test.

Your account and characters will be active for
this stress test, but a new client download will be required.

I was just thinking about the Open Beta, but thank you for clarifying this for people who aren't in the closed beta right now. :) (not really sure if they would really care, but 'eh, who knows.)
