Yep, shows over. Nothing to see here folks, just another dissapointment.

Why then to the Devs give us excuses for the Servers of Delays on their DElays. CRIMES! I'm a Elf and need levels because I couldn't Play THURsday.

Eeargy you should find someone in beta to post that picture in the worldofwarcraft.com forums in the thread "Open beta sign ups coming soon!". I'm sure everyone will get a kick out of it .

Im just stating something here, to maybe clear up some confusion to some people....maybe.....not anyone whos posted in this thread just clearing something up.
These are gonna be sign ups NOT "dl the client and have at it". Its just so popular guilds/fansites can get beta keys. Goodluck to everyone though who neither runs a fansite or is in a cross game guild (FoH from EQ comes to mind). Im one of you.
Sorry if this is a thanks Captain Obvious to most of you , but ive seen a few people that think theyll just be able to DL the client and play it. (i wish)
Detonated, I may have read your post wrong, in which case my apologies, but the way you say that is that "open beta" will actually be a closed extended beta? Open beta in every other game I have ever seen go to open beta has essentially been, create an account and start to play. If it was a extended closed beta, I would appreciate any link to any post/website that hints at it. Thank you and once again I apologize if I misunderstood your post.
I just would like to fix detons statement of which he was really leaning towards
Its called open beta because ANYBODY can play during this beta. No one will be let down... unless some problem which doesnt let you DL it(sucks for that particular person) but that is what beta is for... fixing $hit not hard core roleplaying.
The sign up is kindoof wierd but i believe any and everybody will be able to play.. just wait im sure it will start 2 weeks 1 week before. (hopefully if anybody has problems they will post to blizzard to make the game better)
Yes, what his first post seemed to say to me was that only major guilds and fansite managers would get into the open beta. I was making sure that was not the case I understood that there would be signups before the beta, but no pass or fail test as with closed beta, or drawing names out of the damn hat that never has my name in it. Thanks for that clear up and take care, remember to pray for open beta.
Im pretty sure the bold and slanted text in the moderators post is meant to emphasize that in fact, sign ups will occur, THEN they will choose OB'ers. Ive seen this before and i thought it was pretty lame, but like i said, larger companies do this. Its to let more people in while not letting EVERYONE who wants to try it play it. Thats what free trials after release are for.
While i doubt it will be a week long OB, i bet it will go retail around the end of Nov. I mean theres LOADS of important content thats already been hinted at by a dev but hasnt been implemented. Im guessing ( i know i can guess all i want, in the end we will just have to wait and see) that OB ends in NOV, hits retail VERY early DEC with a nice trial length. My reasoning behind a nice trial length is Blizzard is notorious with its affinty towards holidays (seasonal contests with fanart,official art come to mind). While EQ2 is rushing thier unfinsihed game, I think Blizzard is gonna come out guns blazing.
As stated in the patch notes, this is a small fraction of whats already been worked on (very very possibly completed) and who knows what else. Link is just a FYI in case someone hasnt really paid attention to WoW forums (i know they can get a little muddled with all the "disatisfaction" thats voiced from the beta testers sometimes, thats why i kind of stopped going there, except to include some more noteworthy posts)

Yea i know some, if not all less corporate funded games have the "DL and play it" , mostly asian based MMO's but this is not the case for WoW.

Remember its beta not release.

Open beta is going to happen after signups.
This kinda sounds like there are going to be ppl signing up and not recieve any responds from blizzard.
If we can not access right after we sign-up, I bet a lot of ppl are going to talk crap about this issue.
for example, "I signed up about a week ago and its almost retail. This sux!!!"
something like that.
While i doubt it will be a week long OB, i bet it will go retail around the end of Nov. I mean theres LOADS of important content thats already been hinted at by a dev but hasnt been implemented.
