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

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

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.

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.

World of Warcraft Open Beta Client Now Available!
The World of Warcraft community site and the open beta account-creation pages are currently unavailable. We are experiencing technical difficulties on our end and are working diligently to restore service to this site.
For those who would like to get a head start on downloading the open beta client, we now have it available for you here: [PC] [MAC]

Please keep in mind the following important points:


You can download the open beta client, but playing in the World of Warcraft open beta test requires that you create an open beta account using the account-creation pages on WorldofWarcraft.com. These pages are currently offline, but we are working hard to bring them back up as soon as possible.

Access to the open beta test will be limited based on server capacity, so if more people download the open beta client than can be supported by the open beta servers, some people might not get the opportunity to play.
When the website comes back up, we will be able to provide the open beta account-creation pages so that people can create open beta accounts and start playing if they.ve downloaded the open beta client (or download the client if they haven.t done so already). We do not currently have an estimated time for when the site will come back up, but we are working extremely hard to solve these technical difficulties as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime. For those interested in learning more about the World of Warcraft open beta test, please review the open beta FAQ.
Please note that until the World of Warcraft website has been restored, any further World of Warcraft updates will be posted on our www.Battle.net website.

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...

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...?

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.

Http://signup.worldofwarcraft.com

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'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)

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?

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.

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.

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. I'm still only 18% Downloaded...
