Wow Closed Beta Ending --

Greetings!

If you are receiving this email, you are one of the valued testers currently in World of Warcraft’s closed beta test. This message is to inform you that the beta servers will be coming down at 3:00 PM PDT on Friday, October 29 and will remain offline for a few days in preparation for another stress test. Your account and characters will be active for this stress test, but a new client download will be required. After the game servers come down on Friday the 29th, you will be able to log in to the community site and download the new client.

Once the beta-server preparations are complete, we will announce the start of the stress test, and the servers will come back online. When that happens, you will be able to log back in, download a quick patch, and then continue playing. Please keep an eye on WorldofWarcraft.com for more information about the stress test in the days ahead!

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the hard work you’ve been putting in to make World of Warcraft a better game. You’ve done a great job, and without you, the classes would not be where they are today, places like the Barrens would not be as rich as they are today, and the changes implemented from your suggestions would never have taken place.

We hope you've been enjoying your exclusive look at World of Warcraft these past few weeks and months, and we hope you'll take some satisfaction in knowing that you’ve played a big part in shaping its destiny. We'll see you again online soon!

Sincerely,

Blizzard Entertainment




2 classes are still missing their talents, which means they won't even give us enough time to test the talents ( we KNOW they will be nerfed to hell.. )

i was torn between a night elf <something> or a human paladin, since paladins don't have talents yet, and i can't test them ( got a 40 pal ), i will most likely be a warrior.

Kind of disappointed in Blizzard for still thinking they have to compete with EQ2 ( where death penalty is the most severe in any game, wtf. sharing xp debt? no thanks..)

good players dont have to bother with debts =P

but the thing is, if i group with someone i don't know, i run the chance of getting their xp debt because they are fucking retarded.

its supposed to be a grp friendly game, but i'd be leary of grouping with anyone because the last thing i want is punishment for someone else's retardedness.

Leave the group if it's full of idiots. I can't imagine it's hard to find at least a somewhat competent group in which no one dies frequently. Solo'ing is also somewhat possible.

I still stand by the notion of having a higher frequency of n00b groups at the beginning of the game rather than in high-end instances and whatever raid content comes out for WoW. ; )

we all know there's just as many noobs @ max level that there are in EC :p

well i do anyways. it was hard to find a group that was steady and not retarded when i did play. i stopped pickup grps entirely because -everyone- i encountered was a dumbass.

i grouped with a 64 enc in PoV once who wouldn't slow the mobs because he got aggro. that's all i have to say about that.!!
