Wow im excited. This weekend im going to a party and a concert so that should hold me till OB. Now if my assumptions are correct, stress would begin on the 1st and retail on the 21st or 22nd. That would mean 3 weeks of OB. Finally some good news!
Games Played:DoAC, EQ, CoH, Lineage 2, Planetside, and Shadowbane. Games Playing:None:( Waiting For:WoW, EQII
YAY!!! I've been checking the forums every day and checking wow.com every day hoping to hear some good news on the upcomming OB and this is the closest that they come. Stress Test is over now common OB I've been waiting o so long and calmly.
.. I guess that changes the weekend plans for all those closed beta players.
almost seems like Blizzard's telling all of them to go and check out Guild Wars for the weekend. I am sure ArenaNet must be very happy about this annoucement.
This works out great! Guild Wars free this weekend and possibly OB November 1st! Brain cell loss at maximum capacity! I love it!
Now for stress test, only a certain amount are allowed in or is it like open beta and everyone can be apart? This is my first time being involved with an open beta of a game.

It is ridiculous claiming that video games influence children. For instance, if Pac-Man affected kids born in the 80's, we should by now have a bunch of teenagers who run around darkened rooms and eat pills while listening to monotonous music!

I hope all of the CB testers all stay on the same server(s). I'm afraid to walk into the game. It's going to be a serious newbie slaughter. I'd guess that most of them are going to be a bit moody because we'll be invading their game so to speak.
A friend of mine is currently in the CB. He knew how badly I wanted to try the game out and repeatedly took shots at me. Toying with me. He told me how awesome the game was and all the fun he was having. Then last night I broke the news to him that the closed beta was ending. All of a sudden he's not sure if he's going to buy WoW. It's funny how this game was so great for him until they decided to open it up to the public.
Is the game as good as the closed beta testers say it is? Or is the game just so good because there weren't so many people playing it? I'm sure all CB testers don't feel the way my friend does. I'm sure there are more of them out there though. I think it's pretty weak.
Closed Beta Has Ended - Nebu on 10/29/04 The closed beta servers are now offline; this phase of the beta is at an end. We'd like to thank the thousands of dedicated testers who helped us day in and day out to make World of Warcraft what it is meant to be: a fun game. Your aid was invaluable over these past months -- the game wouldn't be where it is now without you! Please be sure to check back here over the next few days for more information on the upcoming stress test!
Please note: due to the increased traffic to WorldofWarcraft.com while the game servers are offline, the Web site and the beta forums may run slowly or be inaccessible at times. We are in the process of making upgrades to our Web servers to address these issues as soon as possible. Thank you for bearing with us during the upgrade period

Sorry your friend is an ass for 2 reasons:
1. He couldve shared his account with you other than teasing you 2. He is a 'free gamer'.

Yeah. As sad as it sounds. I agree with you. I don't think it was so much that he wanted to play the game for free. I think it was more or less he wanted to get a leg up on me. He couldn't handle the fact that his head start was finally coming to an end. I'm sure there are a lot of genuinely nice people testing this game and doing what they can for the mmorpg community. I've ran into a lot of them on these forums. Seems like the jerks only post on the blizzard ones.
Yah its so damn good to hear. I was in the closed beta, but just knowing that I get to FINALLY play with my guild makes me pretty happy. They didn't do the patch with the hunter and paladin talents, but of course their going to do that during the OB/ST. I just seriously hope they add in racial talents to all other races (I don't care if they add in alliance haha) because I'm trying to decide if I'm going to for sure make a troll or undead priest!
Yea OB will be awsome. My guild will finally be put together and we'll be able to see how many people accually join up. I'm so excited about OB being here soon and so are many of my friends this is going to be awsome.
This is so exciting! I really hope I can get to play. I hope it starts Monday. And I hope I sign up in time! I'm so nervous I'll miss it. I'm going to try a Paladin, because during the stress test I tried a Warrior and it was fun. Retail is sooo close!! I want my collectors edition so badly!!

YES...because they said CB characters will remain for stress test. It's obvious that Stress Test = OB and characters get wiped before retail.
