...And that makes it different from the *previous* stress test... how?

I mean, maybe it's a couple of thousand more people (including the *interested* FilePlanet people) but I would have thought that the open beta would be the ultimate stress test.

It's a stress test in the aspect of causing people stress because they don't have a subscription

True.

Of course, I'm sure Blizzard receives a... share of the proceeds. *cough*

Apparantly there's a limited ammount of accounts, so it's like, an open yet closed beta
You can subscribe through fileplanet (which I'm trying to since worldofwarcraft.com is down) but it seems I'm getting some browser error. I so hate fileplanet.

Edit: apparantly on fileplanet it says that this open beta is for North America, Australia and New Zealand. Where's iraq?

I'm kinda convincing about this game after I saw it on TV, but i'm still unsure about buying it. I hope the open beta will be over the christmas. But they probably are setting for Christmas release...

I wish WoW site did go up. I so want more info.

You know what? I hate how slow even the HTTP server is... I try to signup tomorrow. Since i'm not really in the mood to think on a bogus US adress right now...

Won't there be a internation open beta?

"Open Beta Keys are GONE!
The World of Warcraft Open Beta keys are gone! All public and subscriber-only keys have been depleted, thank you for your Interest in the WoW Open Beta!"

Sorry for those who didn't get it.
And to those who did, I'll see you there

There will probably be more chances though.

Actually, you can just go to the site. Their system for downloading is like BItTorrent, I think. I'm downloading it right now and it's HUGE. 2481.17 MB(2 gigs)

The open beta signups HAVE begun so HURRY. There's only x number of spots available (I'd guess in the ballpark of 100,000-120,000, depending how many test servers there are).

Luckily, after tons of server problems on Blizzard's end... my signup went flawlessly.

Well, both me and sofie signed up today, and you could pick different countries than new zealand, australia and north america so I guess people not from those countries can apply too, of course I didn't read the 500 page long agreement either..

It's downloading now, and it's sloooooow. I doubt people leave it open to seed since they probably don't know how bittorrent works. It fluctuates between 10-40kb/s so it'll take a day or so

You should have lied, Jizuko.

It *shouldn't* matter but I think the game's set up so that people in North America/Oceania have optimal speeds. So you might have some lag.

I'm signing up right now... *sigh*

I let it download overnight thought. Don't have time to play right away but tomorrow... maybe.

I'm not sure if I should fake it, or write my real address.

Who can participate in the final stress test and open beta test?
The final stress test and open beta are available for players in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.

Why can

Didn't stop Europeans from joining the stress test en masse.

I'm just warning you - IF you're allowed on, you'll probably notice a bit of lag. They're already planning to segregate the servers for the first few months (keeping North Americans in North America, Europeans in Europe, etc.) to avoid lag.

If they only want people from those countries they shouldn't have a list with all the countries available >( Besides, I may just have slipped from U to S
And if they really wanted to check stuff like that they can just check the ip, that should tell where most are from. I'm at 53% on the download now.
