  • WoW open beta signups started yesterday. I'll do it when I get home...apparently you have to sign up from the PC you are going to play from.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It's hard for me to imagine Blizzard would actually come up with anything innovative, given their history. Actually, the MMORPG market has been stagant for a pretty long while now because no one really wants to break away from the EQ formula since it works so well.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>No Blizzard ended up accepting those accounts because they didn't have a filter to block those. I can't find the post but it's on BNet somewhere.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>They didn't have a filter the first day or so and a ton of people signed up using hotmail/yahoo accounts. Blizzard allowed those to stay in because they didn't have filters to tell you not to sign up with Yahoo/Hotmail accounts (even though it's stated elsewhere)</div>
