more EU wow closed beta keys sent out

MakemeMakeme Member UncommonPosts: 49

Anyone else find this move from blizzard odd ?

I mean when we consider that the pre-orders has been sent out and received by players ( people who payed for this ) one can only assume that the final beta test is not very close... ( me speculating )

How can they do this without informing whats going on.

Im getting a tad frustrated about the lack of information from the english forums.

Gratz to everyone who got a key hope the majority of you didnt have the pre-order kit.

/Cheers

    Thank you Blizzard, for stepping on me. Can't you just lighten the pressure just a little?
    Saw that the other "WoW EU keys" (or whatevh) got closed so I'll try to express my self gently. Oh Blizzard... Oh Blizzard! Why oh WHY have you done this... I'v been watching WoWs progress for long now and I havent sent a single e-mail when you did something wrong. But now I got to speak up. First you tell people to buy the beta! Good so far. But then you add MORE closed beta testers! Not only does the new beta testers who bought the beta feel ignored totally, but also the others that didnt come in realize that their dream of entering the Open beta for maybe the middle of december is CRUSHED. Becouse lets face it, anyone think they've let in the beta testers so they can play for what, some days? It'll be atleast two weeks (I think)

    And if you are even THINKING of saying "Blizzard don't owe you anything" or "They're not forcing you to play" keep it for yourselves...

    (Moved from the other thread I started, sorry :) )

    i have heard of 4-6 different dates when final beta starts. All of them are from resellers and none are from blizzard.

    *Yes this car can fly!* Sales ppl all need to be shot... twice ;)

  • BhazirBhazir Member Posts: 321

    Only way to find out when the final beta starts is waiting and hoping it will arrive soon ;)
    And time never lies, so listen carefully it is gone before you know it. Time will tell all :D

    To be honest, I was anticipating the opening of Final Beta so much, this new batch of closed beta keys was a bit of a downer for me. It is likely that we'll have to wait 2-3 weeks for Final beta to kick off, but atleast I got an e-mail from Game confirming that I'm getting my beta key any day now... which is nice : )

    there ramping up numbers to replace old testers and to stress their own servers methinks

    Before they open up to the masses. Good idea if you ask me. dont worry i doubt they will get more than 2 weeks play on you guys, then new servers will be opened up anyways.

    When i bought the OB pack the company clearly stated thet the OB was starting on dec 1. Now jusst a few days after they altered their page to say "sometime in december" and I thaught well that's ok.. as long as it starts befor X-mas... I'm not gonna be able to play at all from dec 22 to jan 2.. Now since Blizzard decided to hand out a few more of the CB keys it looks like I got through all the trouble of obtaining a OB pack for nothing.. I'm seriously bummed out :(

    Blizzard should really get their act together and start giving out som information.. They don't need to set an exact date. but to hand out CB keys after selling OB keys and not even mentioning it on the site is just plain dumb.. and dissrespectfull to all the ppl who got tricked into buying the OB packs...

  • DeginethDegineth Member Posts: 83

    I think they gave out CB keys because allot of the Closed Beta Testers went in the US Retail therefore azeroth was downed to half, so they had to bring new players in the game in order to test everything.

    Final Beta Test is atleast two weeks away.

    And I can't log into my email!!!!!! ://////

     

    I might have a cb key and I can't do anything about it because I changed my password and thought, "I really should write it down so I'll remember it when I wake up".

    And guess what? I don't remember it, only the first 8 letters and numbers are clear to me and Ive tried so many combinations of it so my account keeps getting suspended and my secret question is "what's the name of my penis", hmm, I don't know... I probaly had a name for it back then but all the drinking and drug abuse (drug abuse = mmorpg's) has really put my thoughts elsewhere then rather on my penis.

    Well, I hope it comes by saturday, else I'll be pissed. Why release the Finalbeta keys when the game is not ready for Final Beta? IMHO that's just scamming their customers image Will those of us who preordered, get the game a month before it's released as well?

    Blizzard should DEFENITELY have placed their main Euro Office in UK or anywhere besides France (Or Germany, but France was obviously a particulary bad choice)

    I really coundn't agree more :(

    The sad part is when I played the US OB I was really hyped to start playing.. Now I am getting so frustrated and angry with the way they manage things.. or rather don't manage them.. that I am loosing interest in the game... I know that when release comes I will play like crasy thogh and I will be all happy.. but my tollerance level of bs from Blizzard have taken a serious hit. I hope for theire sake that they will get there act toghether...

  • Lill-TrollLill-Troll Member Posts: 230

    The main problem is that Blizzard US really cares about their customers, Blizzard Eu seem not to...

    As it is now, I'm seriously considdering to buy EQ2 instead. It's not as fun, but at least I'll be able to play.

    Well they have said that once EU version is released they may open up US servers for EU people to play on as well. If that is the case I will get US version at that time and play on Us servers and be charged in dollars.

    You need help my friend, serious help. image

    Hehe, stupid jokes aside, I do see your point.

  • chrispychrispy Member Posts: 5

    God damn I'm so bored I really need a game to play this is a bit of a mess for me too (just shows how little of a life I actually have really :p

    I think we're going to be waiting another 2/3 weeks, maybe they have some kind of conspiracy going on with santa. 

    Or its a huge publicity stunt and santa will come flying round with a mega phone on Christmas Eve shouting "Open Beta for WoW is no commencing come one come all (guess you people who paid can come too) Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!"

    Well maybe not but just a guess image

    Got this back from blizz

    "Hello,

    The keys sent out yesterday were part of a final wave of closed beta keys which was planned, but delayed. We will not be sending out any more beta keys for this phase.

    More information about the final beta will be released on our website soon:
    http://en.wow-europe.com/";

    Pfft, it would have been better if they had opened up for the people who pre-ordered and got the Final-beta Key for this. That way they'd know for sure how well the servers would handle it. Now I guess it really means 2-3 weeks, and that also means I won't be able to play image

    Well maybe the new keys that were released were for a final stress test before the OB started...

    Thats what happened with the US OB, and the stress test only lasted about 2-3 (I think), so this could not be a bad thing...

    Well hey we will just have to see what Blizzard come out with next, and hopefully they will update the EU website...(No update since the 26th, that SO long ago...image)
