<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Neat, i think it is a week long?</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Dunno, most betas go until a week or so before release. You can get in on fileplanet.com Unpaid accts get put on a waiting list, paid accts are guaranteed a spot.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Goes to until the game is released, so you're looking at another year or so of beta time?</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Game is out Oct 17th.</div>

Game is out Oct 15th.</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>and Starcraft and Diablo 2 were all supposed to be released on time. With Hunter class just added last patch and the endgame nonexistent, I think beta will take longer than expected.</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Hopefully ;) I wanna squeeze all I can out of the 15 bucks I spent on the FP membership heh</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Hmmm just realized what Gentz, the stress beta only lasts 1 week. Oh well, from what people say about WoW 1 week is enough to see what's going on, since there's no endgame anyway (that's where most of the time takes)</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Gonna play for the whole 168 hours eh? :)</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>What I have seen in previous MMo's Ive beta'd...they have the closed beta..then they add people with another closed beta (thats easy to get into) and then they add yet more people with an open beta. They want to add a bunch of people to make sure the servers can handle it.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>This is the server test. The Open beta will be later down the line. This is Blizzard, I'd be freakin shocked if this game made out this year.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>EB has November. Amazon was supposed to ship me WC3 a month before it came out, who're gonna believe? :)</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'd imagine open beta will get delayed some more and the stress test will go on longer than expected.</div>

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>When looking at blizzard release dates always remember to check if an year is listed.</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>I read the FAW a littl more closely..the stress test is only for one wee apparently ><</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>and thus, i was right all along. *basks*</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>humpf *crosses arms* hehe</div>
