World of Warcraft Open Beta Sign-ups Coming Soon! - Ordinn on 10/07/04
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.
For those of you who missed out on the stress test, here's your chance. (I've made it a sticky so everyone gets an opportunity to hear about it) WoW REALLY is that good, even at this Beta stage. While some features are bound to be changed or adjusted, you will still have a better opportunity to "try it before you buy it" since the Beta's are free.
I will update this post as soon as blizzard goes live with the sign-ups.
EDIT #1:
Rumor has it that Blizzard has set a date. Some of the threads on the WOW forums claim that today, Oct. 11th, will be the start date. An article on Gamespy states the following.
Blizzard has revealed that they will be opening the prevously closed World of Warcraft beta test to the general public this coming Thursday October 14th.
Either way, the time is nearing. Get your redbull and surge ready because funtime is a comin'!
EDIT #2
Well it seems the Open Beta announcemetn was VERY premature. Still no beta and in classic Blizzard fashion no dates are being confirmed or even mentioned. Grrrrr...
EDIT #3
Open beta starting soon!
A quick trip to their website will show you that they now have the open beta client available for download through Flieplanet. Fileplanet subscribers get access to it a week early. I have the hook up though. Here is a bittorrent link that will get you the latest version of the beta. It's a large download and there are currently few seeds but the more we add the better the downloads will be. I'm still working on getting an account so the game will actually work... Stay tuned...

Make sure you have bittorrent installed on your PC, otherwise the link won't work. Don't know what that is? Google it.
