Those of you who ordered from GAME

[Squalion]

ok for all of you that have preordered from GAME, when do we get the beta kits? is it tomorrow? (friday) or later on in the week?

i want the damn game!

anyone got info?

 

[behatch]

just order us version like moi

id rather play on europe but why we allways last? :/

 

[lekkus]

Ordered 4 Monday, 3 Tuesday. Called to confirm the order yesterday and got told we would receive both orders next Monday. If you're desperate to listen to the music-cd, you can order them from the i-net, for free

 

[Squalion]

screw the music, give the damn game!

thanks for info btw

You don't think beta will actually start tomorrow right? late December at the earliest is my guess, possibly January..

They said it would come in December!
So my guess the Final Beta Test servers go online the 31st of December at 23:59 CET or something like that

 

[AhoyHoy]

exactly, but obviously squalion wants as much time as possible to sit and drool over his beta key, as do i

People who pre order via game get the beta kit and they can join right now during the current closed beta then move onto open.

so as soon as you get the beta kit you can register and then start playing

Where did you get this info mate?

Think your wrong there mate, i got the preorder kit today and the key doesnt work until the next phase of beta. Unless Game got some weird private deal with bliz, but i believe everyone that preorders gets the same package.

Am I the only one who is'nt crazy about this OB thing?

I mean I dont want to burn out before I get the finished version ^^ and I
allready played the US OB along with most of you

Nope. I won't give money to GAME, not when I preordered from play at £17.99. I'd rather hang on and whine for a couple of months instead

heh same here, I had to stop myself from playing open beta when I got lvl 19 on my hunter. Didn't want to spoil the fun yet I want things to be new in retail.

Plus I'm forced to not be crazy about the OB 'cause I can't get in anyways since im Dutch

 

[lewskie]

tried warrior on us ob up to 20 so want euro one to try out different races and classes before i decide on my release char :]. also get a chance to play with the rest of the cf guys in eu beta unlike us where we were spread out over about 20 servers.

sorry if i am but why the hell would we want a beta key and installation disc if it was just for bloody open beta? makes no sense to me, i wouldnt have pre ordered then tbh.

are you sure?

all seems a bit stupid then, yea lets pre order then we can get into OPEN beta? lol

 

[Anar]

I think the open beta is limited, so pre-ordering garantees you spot for the two months the open beta is...............err open.

actually I dont think there is a instalation disc =) just a music disc. On the other hand EU wow beta have patched too the patch US wow did go retail in. So 1 might wonder why they are still beta testing?

My 2 cents are the damn Germans and French (why cant they submitt defeat and learn english like the rest of europe =) I wonder if they learn english?? but just refuse too speak it?).

Atleast us scandinavians have learned english (too some degree )

cool, so we should get the pack next tuesday?

 

[Lian]

Considering they had 300k+ people applying for closed beta, they are only giving out guaranteed OB places out to people that pre-order. It's not a key for closed beta, as getting 100k or whatever new testers would destroy the 3-4 servers they have up at the moment.

 

[Feral]

If they go out first class post today there's no reason why they shouldn't arrive tomorrow, if the post office don't screw up
Looks like Blizz have added Gameplay to their pre-order retailers and they have the CE too
