Who here has signed up for Beta?

[MacG]

I'm curious about the amount of people here that have signed up. Then we can later know how many of those got the beta.

[Demon_Child]

Count me for the big "NO," cause I didn't signup for the beta.

[Protosschick99]

I signed up for the beta! But I haven't recieved an e-mail notification yet :(

[BSTRhino]

Hey there Protosschick99, I haven't seen you in a while. Welcome to the ORG network forums!

I didn't even think about signing up. I wasn't so hyped about the game back then as I am now. Although, this phase of the beta isn't open to my part of the world. So even if I was interested, I would have to wait.

[hXc_PiNG]

No big deal. You probably wouldn't get in anyway. :(

[Scauthra]

I have. I acturally don't care if I get in. The term in the FAQ saying not all classes will be made at the start makes me say 'yeah so no >>'

Anyways I got Ryzom Beta CD's coming ^^

[Graeme]

I signed up of course.

BTW, P-Chick, nobody has received an email about beta acceptance yet, so you may still have a chance :D.

[Lucifer_Hawk]

I signed up for wow beta, and I feel very confident on getting it cause I got war3 beta and ft beta, so it makes me feel I can get this too. But you know, even if I don't get it, the crying and suicide attemps will just be a minor thing you know.......

[CaRBomBnCowBoy]

I signed up for beta 2!!! Hoping to get it(just as much as u all are!) Well Hawk with all that luck & confidence u just might get it...GL 2 u guys hopefully we get it!!!
:devil:

Just so everyone knows:

Assuming Blizzard takes the same amount of people for the first run of WoW beta, as they did for the first run of FT, you have a 1 in 40 chance of getting in. The odds are really not in favour of anyone, but the Blizz friends/family, and fansites :P.

[BSTRhino]

1 in 40 isn't such bad odds, is it?

[Protosschick99]

I signed up of course.

Thank the Lord! I was worried that I wouldn't make it :p I signed up for the WC3 beta too and I still didn't make it :(

[Exedore]

Actually, the odds are slightly better than 1 in 40. From the article that mentioned the total sign-ups, it also said that they expect to eliminate quite a few duplicate entries, reducing odds to 1 in 35 or 1 in 30 or maybe even better. There are also multiple beta stages planned and more people may be added later on.

[Graeme]

Ah yeah, forgot to mention that :P.

If I don't get in the first time, I'm bound to get in the second run through ;). And just so everyone knows, Blizzard does plan to expand the beta into multiple countries at one point. They are even setting up a local European World of Warcraft team, to manage things on that end:

It's not certain that the team will be operational for beta, but it seems only logical to do testing on the European servers there as well :D. So all you European folk are in luck :).

[Swiftjustice]

I signed up.... God when will they send the emails?

[Edgewize]

They are only saying that the beta will begin in the first half of 2004. While I would love it to be sooner, I think it still could be a month away, or more :(

[Schwitzer]

Yeah? I've never been able to sign up for their betas because I live in Australia :(

[BSTRhino]

Australiasia is a pretty big continent. Kinda. You'd think they'd include us...

Wouldn't it be funny if like, the whole of Australia moved to the USA temporarily to get a copy of the World of WarCraft betas. Hehe... that'd be so cool

[Protosschick99]

Man this is taking a while.....I hope I'm picked!
