The World of Warcraft Beta Signups are now live! Click here to sign up.
Specs Required:
Windows® System/OS:
800 Mhz or higher CPU.
256 Megabytes or more of RAM.
GeForce 2 or Radeon graphics card or better.
3 Gigabytes or more of available hard drive space.
DirectX® 9.0 or above.
Potential testers will be able to register online through the official European Blizzard Web sites for the English-, French-, and German-speaking markets. The final selection of testers will be chosen randomly to ensure a broad base of playing skills, locations, and system requirements to address compatibility and game-play issues. All submissions will receive equal consideration at any time throughout the sign-up period, which will run for approximately three weeks.
In addition to game-play and technical compatibility testing, the purpose of the beta test is to validate the distribution and hosting infrastructure in Europe and, in due time, to verify the localization of the game in French and German. This process will allow World of Warcraft to reach the high level of quality that has become the signature of every Blizzard product.
Building on the success of the Warcraft® series, Blizzard hopes to expand the MMORPG genre by creating a deep, immersive, user-friendly experience that will appeal to both veteran gamers and casual players alike. World of Warcraft takes place three years following the aftermath of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne™, when a great tension has settled over the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the various races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and terrifying, have arisen to plague the world once again. Players must explore the lands of Azeroth, forge fellowships with other players, and build their strength in order to prevail. World of Warcraft will be fully localized into French, German, and English in Europe.
