World of Warcraft Open Beta Launched Today
 

If you got in, post it here. We'll try to get together and have some fun!

I automatically got in because of my Closed Beta account.



Try hitting F5 or Refresh to get your account to submit.


To get an Open Beta account, go to www.fileplanet.com :thumbsup:

fileplanet is out of beta keys is there any way to get in?

WTF. :hmm:

This is just sad. I really wanted to play, and Blizzard has made it very tough.

Worldofwarcraft.com site is now down due to "Technical Difficulties!"

Just Got my key about 30 minutes ago, currently in line waiting to download 114 out of 320.

THE REFRESH KEY DOES NOTHING!!!
NEED MORE POWER!!!

Typed too soon got booted in download maybe I'll try again when I get home tomorrow morning

Just got back from class and all the FP keys are gone, lok what a joke. I'll be waiting patiently for Blizz to release keys though. They've supposedly got plenty to go around. Anyone know how downloading the client is going for people? I'm hoping the one I've got will work out.

WoW crazy cant believe they had such a limited number of keys.. hopefully the rest are going slowly all up tomorow... would suck to get my key on the last day of open beta :P

If you already have the client you can patch it up by just typing random words into Account and PW btw...

Man I got into beta and I do like the game. Everything they siad they where gonna put in is inthere. The game does seem a bit linear though but other then that still a great game. Blizzard might have done it again.

U guys still on the CB PvP server or did u move to East PvP 4?

I wish they would tell us if there was a character wipe comming after OB. I know that was the plan but from the forums it seems that they are considering not wiping the characters.

I am still on the original PvP server, just finnished testing a druid now I am goning to make a Paladin to complete my run of all the classess (sept the Shaman).

i got a key but when i try to d/l it says there was a network error press f5 to refresh, yet is does nothing, i have tried on friends computers also. any ideas?

if anyone happens to get an extra key by some means.....send it this way....

Try it now...

Man, I'm glad I've already downloaded the client, but cmon now, release some new keys!

Wow, was slow as shit downloading, so I tried updating my network card drivers. Switched from the standard Linksys drivers to the drivers put out by the actual chip manufacturer and am no wdownloading at 944kb rather than 15.

Wow that's extremely fast. Are routers magically able to speed things up somehow? I kept on reading how messing with router settings can really help bandwidth, however I used no router at all (just high speed cable) and got about an average of 40kb over 21 hours...

My question is what is it uploading, it's pulled like 72 MB from me so far...

I'm averaging about 40kb/s so... i'll be done by tomorrow.

next step, getting an activation key

I was under the assumption that it's like a big torrent network so other people are downloading from you as you download it? But then I got to wondering, why had I already uploaded more than I downloaded (IE uploaded what I hadn't already downloaded...) throught the entire download...?

That is correct.
It might pick up speed as more people download it.

Just started downloading the client, need to wait for the site to come back up to get my key. They should have prepared for this many people. I'm gonna be seriously pissed if I download the entire thing and not get a key...

It didn't for me lastnight, and I know that lots of people were on the bandwagon at the time ;) Not trying to be a pessamist though, best of luck and may your dl speeds soar!

Welcome to my (and many other people's) shoes ;)

Create your account now! And don't spread the word beyond TFP if possible, it's not openly posted yet! I got mine and I'm in! It might go down soon though.

Yo Lasereth or someone, I'm selecting my realm and stuff now. Will I be able to go back and change this specific account info (location, style) later on if necessary?

I think the world already knows... I have been trying to load the same page for 10 mins now. :lol:

Edit: Works for me, just very s l o w l y

Currently stuck on the https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/authkey.html page.

Page not found error...

Im so glad I'm already chillin in Azeroth :)

tell me when you get in
I'll be playing

'Marcy' on PVP Central time test 9 i think?

I'm goin for East time to be with Lasereth, but I'm waiting to confirm it until I know I can edit it later (I'm on the west and will go West if the East ever proves to be too laggy)

crappers, its down. i get set to the open beta client page thats been up for the past few hours...

Yeah they JUST took down the signup page. I was halfway through signing up when it died. Not that it matters since it's going to take me 4 days to finish this download. The torrent is working badly (I've never had any torrent work very well) and I can't even get in line on Fileplanet.

Why do we have to get the OB installer from Blizzard or Fileplanet? Isn't there a faster DL site out there some where else that hosts files?

HUZZA!!! ACcoutnt created!!!

Http://signup.worldofwarcraft.com - refresh every ten to twenty minutes

Account creation's back up.

...or I thought it was, I got all the way to the "Creating Your Account" phase but it seems to have died again.
Yeah, it's done. I'm not even going to bother with it anymore. I just hope my key hasn't disappeared without it creating the account.

Not openly posted, except to everyone's mailbox who got a Fileplanet key. ;) and yes you can probably change any account information except maybe the account name.

Well, I have to do now is wait.
386.75MB out of 2481.17MB DLed of the Installer.

What server you headed to Crackprogram? I think I'm gonna create my first on the East on Server 24 (don't know if it matters which server...)

I'm just trying to decide what kind of char I want to make ;)

See ya soon guys.

...

The Blizzard Downloader is taking forever. Just got to 2% because it won't go faster than 10 kb/s. I don't know if it's my connection (DSL) or if it's the amount of peers in my area. Either way, I have a feeling I'll wake up tomorrow and not even be at 50%. And on top of that, I haven't gotten my key yet. I seriously doubt all the keys will be gone by tomorrow, but it's possible. I've been looking forward to this for months and months, been unable to get into CB or any of the ST, and really want to play so I know what class to play come retail. Oh this is a bad night...

/rant

Edit: I suppose getting a key is more important, seeing how those are limited. The OB Installer can be downloaded at any time, but it won't do you any good if you don't have the key.

If you want to play with the best, East 16 is the only way to go! Well because I'm there.. Duh! :)

Whatever server all you guys are on. I want to know the people I am playing with... or at least kind of know of them. :D I'm still only 18% Downloaded...
