Yar! Now they're saying "This program is only available to North American customers."

So I snuck in just before the restriction. Stupid fileplanet.

Sorry, Niklas. Your account is in the process of being shut down as I type this.

Anyways, two other minor things of note.

World of Warcraft currently has 1/2 the bugs that Warcraft 3 did on release, and 1/4 the amount of bugs that Diablo 2 did.

And Blizzard has internally set a final release date. I'll try to get this information if I can.



Time was never on my side.
So on I wait my whole lifetime.

Very nice. Glad Blizzard is taking their time with WoW

Oi! I almost forgot to ask, is it at all possible for Warriors to use guns? Do you need to be a certain race (and, if Warriors can't use them, a certain class)? How are guns compared to bows, superior, inferior, or equal? What are the advantages and disadvantages of guns?

Depends on your race. No advantage.

I ask again since Black missed it. Will there be anymore closed beta invites perchance, or is it all stress/open from now on?

It says next round of invites will be soon, and the stress test invites will be soon obviously. It doesn't specify for the closed or open beta though. Hence, the question.

You won't be being invited, sorry.

As members of the beta, we were able to request that people be admitted or barred from the beta.

So, the next round is coming out sometime soon; some of you will be pleasantly surprised and some of you will be waiting for open.

What Parcelan said. You are far too much of a loner for us to have wanted you in the beta.

A workaround?

Does anyone know when the stress-test starts and ends? I can only download the game on the first due to my ISP being anal about my bandwidth usage this month. (5 gigs in linux CDs and MMORPG trials and they already send me angry e-mails) If the trial will be mostly over by then I'll hand out my key to someone so it can be put to use.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Awwww, a waiting list? Ah well, I've waited this long to play the game, I'm sure I can wait a little longer.

And because when it comes to WoW in general, life hates me... I will be damned if I can sign up. 75% of the time, I am getting 'invalid code' for the final 'make sure you aren't a bot check'. Other 25% of the time it gives me the code, but says I am typing it in wrong. I know the freaking alphabet, and the letters showing are the letters I am typing.

Sent off an e-mail, but can only assume by the time I get a response and/or a fix, the 'first come first serve' basis will have kicked me right in the mean bean machine

I just want to gnaw on my monitor or something to express my rage appropriately

Well he's only interested in ONE beta. You think getting into a week of a stress test where it will be laggy as hell until the 5th or 6th day of the stress is worth the $50 USD you have to pay for the year subscription?

You don't have to pay for a year. I am signed up on a per month basis, I just happen to have it turned off right now.
