This is stupid. 7 days? Why bother? The servers are going to be so hammered you'll barely get any play in. Hell, at peak times they are already lagged as hell with the current player base.

It's pretty funny how you answer your own question in the same post!

I'm tempted...But I'm leaving on Saturday for a week long vacation...Damn, I don't want to leave.
Will people on the waiting list for the beta automatically be registered?
edit - Nevermind, signed up on fileplanet and was accepted (am subcriber) - W00T!
second edit - FYI, I'm not in NA..they don't seem to care with this one. As long as your a Fileplanet subscriber, you're guaranteed to get in.
third edit - AeroGod: you can start downloading the client now, so by the time the test actually starts, you'll have the client (hence no waiting and a FULL 7 DAYS of WoW!
). Also, this could be more worthwhile than it looks, in that when they start opening up the beta more, it might make sense to start with people who already have the client on their machines (i.e. stress testers).

The more fleshed-out classes are Warriors, Rogues, Mages and Priests. Other classes have not had their talents implemented yet, but other than the Hunter they're pretty much done.

Yeah, I really enjoyed playing my hunter to Level 10, at which point I got a pet and discovered they couldn't hit for more than 3-4 damage, hold aggro, or learn skills beyond "Growl." That was awesome!
Wait, no, that sucked.

Well i've always toyed with the idea of becoming a FilePlanet subscriber, and i now have absolutely no reason to deny myself.
akascream said:Meh.. 7 days. Thats like eating a cracker when you're starving. I'd rather stay starving!
I'd say the 7-day testers will be among the first accepted into any wider expansion of the beta, though..since they'll already have the client installed, and pretty much be ready to go. Asides from 7 days of WoW wonderfullness, that's a good reason to sign up IMO.

Yeah right, 90% of the people who signed up way back when at Blizzard's site aren't even in the beta yet.
Cerebral Palsy said:
I know...i'm just grasping at straws, but WoW is the one thing I'll grasp at straws for.
I'm on both the waiting list for the beta AND now set to go with the stress test. Surely that'll count for something when it comes to choosing new testers..?

Same.

Seriously. They already distributed the original client via bittorrent - one would think with all the additional users this would go over just as well. There CLEARLY is some dealing going on between Blizzard and FilePlanet (for their *exlcusive* demo), which altogether lowers my respect for Blizzard even more. I thought they were a company a little more devoted to their fans.

nnnnNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! F*** Fileplanet!!!!!!! They let me register for this, I get my key and everything, and then when I go to download, I get this message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F***ing about when it comes to the WoW beta tests like this is not a clever idea..

The thing that bugs me about Fileplanet is that it is too much $$$
I mean I have IGN but that is $20 a year...not $120 or whatever Fileplanet is
