It's on fileplanet right now, i have my key, but somehow the dowload is stuck
 
World of Warcraft Open Beta Client Now Available!
The World of Warcraft community site and the open beta account-creation pages are currently unavailable. We are experiencing technical difficulties on our end and are working diligently to restore service to this site.

Dang .
 
What happens? I could'nt download it from fileplanet either so i'm downloading it on bittorrent now at 170kB/sec :E I'm staying up all night i think to make sure i get an account before they fill the servers. I've got a CD-key of course but that does'nt guarantee you an account afaik :/

Ok i just registered my accound on the WoW website, now im downloading the client. So i should be good to play right?
 
Pretty much.

If you participate in one beta in your life time, make it the WOW beta. It is awesome. This game is so worth the $50 and $14 a month fee.

OHHHHH baby, ive only been in the tribes vengance beta (no other in my life) but tribes sucked, i cant wait to play WoW.... the best part is i have Thursday off from school and my parents wont be home so i can be on the comp w/o fear! (im kinda punished from drinking so...meh) :E :E :E


EDIT: ok im going to sleep now, hopefully i cant play a little bit tommorow. (funny its only gunna take an hour for me to d/l this 2.5 gig client...damn fast). Nighty night!
 
Soz i been reading a big thread in off topic http://www.wowtorrents.de.vu/ courtesy of WaryWolf. I don't think this is illegal mods because its not got nothing but Wow beta's on it and its all the official ones.

Edit/ What do you mean "site is down again"? was it even up lately? its 4am over here and im waiting up until that god damn website comes back on to secure my place in wow (ive got the key but not an account - which are limited i think....well they better ****ing be now ive waited up!)

Yeah, if you give me $14 first. :p

I just came back from playing WOW for 2 hours. I finally learned how to make bags. I also found the blueprints to make a red robe. My nightelf priest looks awesome now. She is like the only person that has colored clothing.
 
Ugh, FP = no more keys, and WoW site = assraped. I want to play the open beta.. I've played EQII and I Know that kicks ass (I have it pre-ordered) but I may just put the credit towards WOW if it's better.. ugh must try wow.
 
I'd like to try it out, but seeing as I'm not willing to pay any monthly fees it would probably just make me want something I won't buy. Plus, I don't think I want to download a 2.5 gig file just for a beta.

Oh well, did look like fun though.

Trust me, it is worth it. I was highly skeptical at first. I thought there would be no way I would pay for a subscription to a MMORPG. Then I played WOW.

Wait a couple of days and then download the client. You will get hooked. I don't think I've heard anybody say they didn't like WOW.

and that is the only reason i am not interested in mmorpgs.
im not rich enough to afford expensive habits like these.
and yet im so curious about these pay to play games.. screen shots of WoW look amazing.. oh well :|

Ya, that's what I'm afraid of. :p

But $14 a month is a bit much for a game. I already have too many other monthly bills.
 
1 day, 23 hours 56 minutes x_x

Still, this is my chance to see if I want to buy this or not, which I probably do.
 
But EQII is good too, ahh i'm even more stuck then ever! I dont even want to pay a monthly fee period now im picking between two exellent mmorpgs.. which to choose! I love EQII (was in beta) cant wait to try WoW! (should in less then a couple hours) as I wait for my fp client dl to finish.

I started with EQ2 as well, I was about to pre-order it and everything... then I played WoW. I uninstalled EQ2 the next day :D
 
I'm telling ya's ...MMORPG are worth every penny. Its only normal to be sceptical about monthly fee's at first (hell the first time i heard of paying a monthly fee to play a game i just laughed and said "**** that") but believe me, they are Well worth it. Anyway my WoW is installing now, taking hella long though :/ maybe its because im uploading it as well while installing!. Damn 6 hours sleep i've had so i can play WoW, man thats harsh!.
 
Soz to late to edit post.

What server are people playing on here?
 
So this is free right? You don't have to pay anything for this. All you gotta do is download and play?

Oh I agree it is is most likely worth it if you spend enough time on it. But I just can't justify adding that expense to my monthly phone/power/internet/grocery/insurance/tuition bills.

Its free yeah but there was a limited ammount of accounts and cd-keys. (soon as the servers are full the account creation gets taken down) You might as well goto the account creation page ( https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/ ) and enter the BL1ZZARD etc (or something) cd-key and see if it lets you make an account. If it rejects you then its probably finished.

Ahh i don't have all them kind of bills, yet :p

Curse you! :p

Dang it, I want to roll back the clock a few years. Life is really interfering with my gaming these days.
 
3 hours till this beast finishes downloading. Got the account around 11 last night. This game doesn't look to great to me, but I figured-open beta, what the hell. Plus, I havn't heard anyone say they didn't like it. It'll be done when I get home from school =)
 
Nah death trap...the game does'nt look good but it is really good. I've been playing for about 3 hours now, just came off for some lunch and i r teh lvl4 undead warlock :p

I think it has a pretty high learning curve...half the shit i dont even know how to do...infact not half...everything except attack and cast a couple spells :p I'm on test 7 i think (its a Normal server - as apposed to PvP and RP ones for people that dont know) pinging at 400 :O but its not that bad...everythings in sync with me except other people.
 
Sure does :p took about 30minutes to install it this morning..was a long long wait.

I'm in the same boat as you. Except I justified it this way - on average, I buy one game every 3 months are so. If I don't buy any other games for three months, I've just paid for a 3 month subscription (if not saved 5 to 10 dollars).

Buying HL2 and now WOW at the same time is expensive, but I think it is well worth gaming experience.
 
I'm at a whopping 0.5% @ 4 KB/s! \o/
 
Deadline and I did some powerquesting last night and got to level 7. :) Can't wait to play more later today... already love being a hunter...
 
:D:D:D:D
I've waited so long for this....
:D:D:D:D

And il be waiting abit longer... downloading at 8.0kbs :(
