Jord's Burning Crusade Beta SPOILER Thread (pics inside)Follow

Problem is it takes about 30 mins to convert, upload and post the pics and I'm just too busy =( My last mid-term is tomorrow so I'll be sure to get it done tomorrow afternoon.

I haven't been to any instances yet. I'm going to go check them out this weekend and I'll be sure to screenshot all the drops =)

I will also go check the old vendors. I'm only Honored (or maybe revered) w/ AD but I'll go see what they are offering.

Christ on a pogo stick, that newbie BE dungeon looks very nice. Thanks for the pics :)

Jord, it may be anatomicaly not possible but after reading these posts I just want to offer to have your baby.

You f'ing rock and thank you sooooooo much is all I can say.

I'm so excited for this damn release that I am calculating if I were to break up with girlfriend and quit job how many hours a day (with the aid of rockstar and maybe meth) I could devote to Wow. : P

I'm downloading a 272 meg patch so I can finish the mount quest and get a pic of it and then I'll upload the pics.

One cool thing I just noticed - there is a trojan scanner built into WoW TBC when you load up =)

Me too.

/impatiently taps foot, waiting for jordster.

"What is a [godly typo]Draeneri exactly??"

Draenei have cloven hooves, tails and horns. Kinda satanic lookin I think. the males are just kinda ugly in my oppinion and the females have some serious set-yer-drink-on-it ghetto booty. Besides this, they have a godly heal over time racial that starts out at level 1 doing about 60 points over 15 seconds on a 3 minute reset timer. this equates to nearly a full heal. my character is now level 12 and it still heals about 75%. I want this on my orc hunter :(

so far though the starting area for them seems decently emersive and flows well.

There's gonna be peace in the Middle East before he updates isn't there?

Ahh, I see. Draenei ladies are going to get a lot of requests to shake their money maker.

wait untill you hear the flirts. in a tough Russian accent "bring an ample supply of butter and some goblin jumber cables"

another one about the mating ritual needing 5 sheep, a bag, a gnome and a staff of dominance :/

seems that there are different ways. mine came from a blizzard employee originally. here is the email I got from a friend who knows the person.

condensed a bit as it's a huge mail

Burning Crusade Friends and Family Alpha Test
Welcome to the Friends and Family Alpha Test of World
of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.

Thank you for taking the time to help us make The
Burning Crusade the best expansion it can be. We are
excited to finally be able to show our friends and
family what we have been working on all this time. You
are a vital part of the development process; without
your feedback and support it would not be possible to
create and maintain the best and most successful
MMORPG in history.

We are looking to get your feedback on the overall
experience, including quests, spells/abilities,
monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more. We would also
appreciate reports on any bugs you may find.

We have recently opened up Outland and you are able to
copy some of your live characters from the retail game
to our test servers. This will allow you to see
content tailored for characters level 55 and above.
Details on the character copy process are below.

[insert product key and alot of uninteresting things here]

The Friends and Family Alpha Test, as well as the
subsequent beta test phases, are confidential; you
must not share accounts or Burning Crusade-related
information with others not in the program. You have
been invited by a Blizzard employee to test the game
well in advance of its release, and you will have to
agree to a Beta Test Agreement that includes a
non-disclosure obligation to participate in the alpha
and beta test phases. Please take every measure
available to you to ensure the security of your
computer.
You may gift any of the attached game keys to family
members and friends of your choosing. Note that the
game keys that are provided to you hereunder may not
be sold, traded or otherwise transferred for value.
Blizzard employees should remember that they are bound
by an employment non-disclosure agreement. Sharing
information regarding the attached game key,
installer, downloader, or images of the Burning
Crusade outside of the company can subject you to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
We have put up a new site for discussing the game at
(REMOVED AS IT WAS STATED IT WAS A PRIVATE FORUM). These are private
forums that only members of the Friends and Family
Alpha Test will be able to access. Employees, aside
from authorized World of Warcraft support personnel,
should not post to these forums. Treat them as you
would any public Blizzard forums.


anyhow. that's how I got in but I hear you could have gotten in by attending some convention as well.
