World of Warcraft: Open Beta Coming Soon

Blizzard has today answered the prayers of thousands of "World of Warcraft" fans, announcing that the Open Beta sign ups will be coming soon.

We are happy to announce that we will soon be accepting applicants for the World of Warcraft® Open Beta Test for North America. The open phase of beta will give people a chance to enter Azeroth and play World of Warcraft before the game is released. More details will become available in the days ahead, so stay tuned.

    So we have to re-apply for the open beta? Doesn't seem logical to me. They have hundreds of thousands of apps already.

    Umm, an open beta would normally mean no sign up required - doesn't sound very 'open' to me.

    Its open beta meaning that it is open to the public and anyone wh o signs up gets in. How esle are you gonna get an account if you dont sign up...

    Cool, I've been 'flamed'.  Thanks :)

    Yes, for an account you have to fill out forms - but the news article reads (to me) that you have to sign up before hand to get a place - not typical for an open beta (that I have been in anyway).

    Awesome....

     Can't wait to try it out. Its probably going to be a nightmare to download with everyone trying to DL at the same time. I hope they put up some mirror sites.

    I have my doubts about this "open beta"... Its just open for North American players? or for anyone who wants in?

    They use Bittorrent downloader, which means the more people that sign on and download the faster it goes!

    Cool, we get to experiance the crowded places just like the stress test. There won't be enough mobs and the spawn rate will be too slow. Can't wait. Why does this have to come out when the ACT is in 2 weeks.

    It won't, just make up your mind and forget about the Euro-WoW.
    I'm gonna do what I can to be in US Open Beta AND to play retail in US.

    Our 6 months delayed EU Wow is a joke...

    OMG this is all happening so fast, what am i gonna do?! I cant wait... there should be support groups for the people who have had to wait for so long.  I know these next few weeks are gonna be rough.

    SWEET!

    Uuumm.. no. There was a week given to everyone to apply for closed/open Beta some 4 months ago. If you didn't apply at that time or get in on the Stress Test, then you're probably out of like in trying to get into Open Beta.

    I've been in WoW Beta for almost 3 months now. Can't wait for the game to finally be released so I can take a week off and playing for 16hr a day.

    North America only I believe and only for the people who had signed up for Beta on the official WoW website some 4 months ago or were in the Stress Test. I believe anyone who was in the Stress test also has a shot of getting into Open Beta as well. Clear enough?

    Wrong - look at the WoW main page:

    Pretty clear than SignUps for Open Beta are coming: not a past item you have to have already done.
