WOW - World Of Warcraft Beta Testing

[Illuminae]

Did any of you guys manage to get on the list? Just curious. All of my friends and I signed up but none of us got picked which is totally weird ans has never happend before. They still have a second batch though, so maybe we'll get picked. I dunno, I just entered this contest on penny arcade to maybe get an invite. I'm curious about it, I've heard good things and bad things. :-)

[Total Biscuit]

One of my buddies got his, though he kinda lied about his pc and connection to get his account. He did the same thing with shadowbane :)
Anyway haven't heard anything from him yet.

[Maxtr0sity]

There's always a chance the beta will gather PC information and send it to Blizzard(?) which would probably disqualify your friend.

[Illuminae]

As far as I know they dont automatically gather info. :)

[gh0st]

WoW looks and sounds amazing :D I can't wait to get my hands on that

[Total Biscuit]

someone's putting his wow beta-account to good use it seems :P

[Illuminae]

haha, thats awesome. it was a blizzard emplyee though - only gamemasters are allowed to not have a name over their head. :D great find!

[kirupa]

I have signed up for almost all of the Blizzard beta tests, and I never got an invitation :(

[Illuminae]

:( im sorry. poopey to blizzard!

[muffins]

Awww god now: I have MC Hammer stuck in my head, I want to play WoW but have to wait, will now be in a funk for the rest of the day.

-duck :cap:

[grinch]

man, I've always wanted to play WoW, especially since I just started WC3:TFT.
All those videos and screenshots make me druel.

[Beddoes]

A while ago WOW beta was on ebay went to over $ 600 !
is it that good?

[grinch]

oh man,
I bet it is bro. Anyone who is a Blizzard Fan, would go mad over that. I think of WoW as being the FFVI/everquest of warcraft...

[Disco-Stu]

is WOW good?!?! It's made by BLIZZARD. :) I'm STILL playing Diablo II and Warcraft III.

[wanyo]

I'm borrowing my friend's beta account for a week. It's amazing!
The only MMO I've seen that looks and plays good!

[GreenLantern]

How does this game work? Is it similar to Warcraft III, or very different?

[UnderØath]

:drool: omg its very diffrent its a MMORPG so you dont control a whole base and make units as in the regular WC series, you make a character and you fight monsters to get a better level and you do quests and theres just so many things that you can do in this game its so amazing, i cant wait....

[Total Biscuit]

here have a towel ma circa, wipe that saliva off your face :P

anyway redmirror, wow is like a standard role playing game but with the exception that you can play it online only, but then with thousands of other players at the same time. hence the name of game-genre: MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) .

[Disco-Stu]

Someone said Warcraft again! *drooooooooooool*

As long as they don't rape us for prices, I'm good. There are going to be SO many people playing this. Warcraft 3 crowd + Diablo crowd + MMORPG whackos + Curious MMORPGers = MOB.

[UnderØath]

haha ya, gunna be awesome...

[wanyo]

It already IS awesome! When the full game is done, I'm sure it will pretty much blow every other MMORPG away.

[GreenLantern]

so when is it coming out?

[wanyo]

I've heard August, but game release dates are never set in stone.

[UnderØath]

i wish it was on shelfs now. lol..

[muffins]

Is it gonna be one of those Pay by the Month things? Cuz thatd blow.

[UnderØath]

yes it is. im still gunna get it though

[UnderØath]

My friend dak is syaing how blizzard will fail to make a MMORPG but i know they wont and that WoW is gunna Kick *****.

[Disco-Stu]

My friend dak is syaing how blizzard will fail to make a MMORPG but i know they wont and that WoW is gunna Kick *****.

Agreed. Blizzard hasn't failed on a SINGLE GAME yet. Even the old stuff (Blackthorne, Rock n Roll Racing, Lost Vikings, etc) was genre killers. Blizzard is going to take the cake on this one.

[Total Biscuit]

Blizzard is also the company with least bugs in their products, even it means that fans will have to wait a couple of extra-months for their games.

[UnderØath]

ya they do hold out on releases of their games but once there out there amazing!!

[MxNecromancer]

Blizzard belive in Quality over Quantity thats what i think.

(you sure that no blizzard game had bugs? what about the Crypt Fiends, spiders, and Anub'arak in WCIII? :beam:)

the storyline runs in flow with WCIII with 2 leagues of undead ran by both Silvanas and Arthas/Lich King. by what i heard you only play for Silvanas, I wonder what they gonna do with the Frozen thone? :rabbit:

[UnderØath]

In WoW you can be teh undeads scorge or part of the Human alliance. for the people buying the game what are you guys gunna be do you think??? Im definitly going human alliance and being Night elf mage or a human warrior.

[Total Biscuit]

I'm more into playing "the bad guys" so if I get it I'll probably be on the undead team :P

[wanyo]

I'm playing a Troll Shaman right now and I believe I might continue playing it when it comes out. I'll probably something else on the alliance side too, but I haven't quite decided what.

[UnderØath]

ya being the bad guy is fun too. :beam:

@wanyo you have a beta account?? awesome.

[Tuna]

I agree with Circa, I think Ill be a human warrior or night elf mage. They both look awesome but I cant choose. What do you think circa?

[UnderØath]

ooo man idk. like i wanna be a warrior and have some melee battles but i think after a while melee gets kinda boring so i would also want a night elf mage, cuz i canhave plenty of diffrent types of attack not just all the same swinging of a weapon. so id proably have a mage more. but i hope you can have a couple of chars on each acct. you proably will be able to so im not worring.

[wanyo]

I don't have a beta account, but I had use of one for a week.
Moth melee and casting are both fun and exiting. Melee classes have a variety of different moves you can and need to use so it won't get boring just doing one thing.

[macneilslt]

Pahlease...WOW has nothing on EQ or EQ2...

[Mik3]

One of my buddies got his, though he kinda lied about his pc and connection to get his account. He did the same thing with shadowbane :)
Anyway haven't heard anything from him yet.

What did he say they were? Fast? Slow?
(I need tips on lying for this kinda stuff)

[Total Biscuit]

Slow, but not under the minimum specs and throw in some weird graphics card that no-one else has :)

[BullDog_Flash]

Beta Testing to me is something I would love to do this game or not.

Only because I check Every Spot on the map I would run into every wall do whatever i could to see if there was any problems.

I never heard od Wow in my life can people give me some specs on it like when it started how to get into beta testing list and all the stuff.

[wanyo]

Pahlease...WOW has nothing on EQ or EQ2...
I hope you're joking?

[gh0st]

ooo man idk. like i wanna be a warrior and have some melee battles but i think after a while melee gets kinda boring so i would also want a night elf mage, cuz i canhave plenty of diffrent types of attack not just all the same swinging of a weapon. so id proably have a mage more. but i hope you can have a couple of chars on each acct. you proably will be able to so im not worring.


Its not just swinging of a weapon if you are a warrior, their are tons of attacks and abilities. Being a night elf mage would offer a lot of spells but you would be weak against attackers and cant defend yourself. Warriors can hold the strongest weapons and wear the toughest armor. Theres a lot of moves even if your melee ;)

[UnderØath]

i know but after a while melee isnt as fun as standing behind a wall and shotting magical beams at monsters and watching them explode. i like them both alo though.

[Tuna]

Well, you both have a very strong point...either would be just as fun as the other because both classes have tons of possibilities and so does each race.

*giggles like school girl* hehe :love::P

[UnderØath]

hahaha no matter what i still love melee chars, but i wanna be a mage to see all the combinations of spells you can use. *looks at tuna and shakes head*hah

[MxNecromancer]

i think the Orc Shaman or the Human Paladin will be good choices

human paladin has both magic and melee to mix in there

orc shaman just rule... in WCIII blood lust really boosts an army

[Digigamer]

My coworker has one actually.

[Hans Kilian]
