WoW open beta will probably start sometime in September... Late August at the earliest.

I have been waiting for the open beta for a wile. I have heard the open beta will not start for a very very long time. Ive also heard the beta will not last for a very long time. Ive read on some websites that the open will start 2 weaks before the actual game goes on retail. I dont know if this is actually true and i hope it isnt. I hope that the open beta will come out in a couple of months but i think it is unlikely. Sadly we're probably going to half to wait until like november or december.

I could see them starting the open beta at the begining of August, but then again I more want that to happen then believe it will happen.

Ive never been surprized by blizzard, they are a slow company, but all there games have lived up to their hype, so if they need to take longer fine, i just wish i could be playing it while i have all this free time durring the summer.
