Any betas when they will open up?Follow

#1 Nov 22 2004 at 5:45 PM Rating: Decent
Just picked up my Collector's Edition today from Best Buy, waiting at the account creation page that currently is down. Wonder when they plan to open things up, if they will do it at Midnight or after.

Also, here's an idea I thought of. What if I make my account using the 10 day pass, then after that put in my CE key, would I essentially get 40 days free?

*EDIT* Okay I definitely typo'd that and can't edit the title, supposed to say 'bets' not Betas.

I wonder if they've filled that loophole somehow, as in, the friend-code is the same as your normal one and you can't roll over the same account onto itself; thereby limiting you to one or the other.

About a week ago on the wow community page the mods said you can use the code for yourself and still use the 30 days free. However you won't be able to get your special CE pet until you use the real code. so use the 10 days first but no pet until the 11th day :-)

Interesting idea, but your month of gaming will still start and it will still technically cost you the same amount, because you pay by month, not by day.

The only thing it saves you is not having to charge the fee for 10 more days, which isn't real that much a lifesaver.

Registration begins at 12:01 PST.

Also have heard some people talking about this being a simultaneous release, across all the countries/time zones. Does this mean it'll go up at midnight in each time zone? Otherwise just midnight PST means it will be late in the day on the 23rd before Australians can play.

I would strongly advise everyone with a copy of the game to wait until 12AM PST before playing. Blizzard has officially told all stores to not sell it until this time, and I think they don't want anyone playing until their special function starts things off. If the servers are up earlier, and you start playing, they might be more than a bit annoyed.
