Beta imminent

is now gone and has been for the past few days, basically the application process is now done and the beta is really close to starting. With invites already being sent out to a select few people this only compounds this only shows just how close to the beta we are. However a little while back Karune mentioned the beta starting in summer but that could be taken a lot of different ways, like for me I consider it to be summer already as its really hot out so who knows, we could end up seeing mass invites go out in 1-2 weeks or possible late June to the official start of summer. So in other words start checking your email daily. | ||

Under acct management just add beta-profile.xml to the end of the url and you can complete the beta opt-in option. If the OP is right it may be too late, but at least it gives hope to some people. Then they can blame blizzard for not getting a key instead of their laziness XD just make a trial WOW account and merge the accounts and you can see the beta profile link again  | ||

It was part of the old stuff from last week about the press emails stating a june 19 deadline. I think I read somewhere that they were demoing single player or something but I don't remember where. Hopefully we'll here something about beta regardless though. The answer is not that simple. No date was provided to the press, but it is exciting to know it is gonna frag everyone any second after June 19th. It is interesting how the news got leaked today, which marks the last day of school classes throughout United States. Something fans should know is that, around last month, the media was invited to visit Blizzard Headquarters this June 22nd. | ||

Unlike the 11 year anniversary of starcraft's release date rumor, this one actually carries some sort of substance. Blizzard requesting the Bnet accounts of the beta key winners to be sent to them on friday and now a press conference?? We can only wait and see. Does anyone know what time this conference is supposed to be? | ||

"regularly scheduled maintenance" on Tuesdays for the wow servers gets extended "unexpectedly" almost every single week, and every patch release is a nightmare. | ||
