i am glad that wow has made it back up to the top 10 lol...

I don't have any of the other games, but I'm probably getting this one

omg they need your password of your account for beta how lame is that,
account can be lost if you play beta how gay is that.

the people who made wow must be like billionaires

Won't come out until 1st Quarter 2007 !! Level 60 for 6 more months!!

Must be more careful next time.

oops! Next time put it in bold!

My name is FrankieLA it has been 1 year 3 months and 4 days since I had my last taste of WoW. I have been recovering well and have found enjoyment in seeing the sunlight and going to bed before 1 AM. I have also learned that riding a bicycle around the beach has done me well.

I do not miss WoW though Dead Rising and Madden 07 has been the new drug of late. BUT I am a WoW survivor and you can be too.

sooooo expect it in what November

Sweet, hope it's out by the end of the year. But dammit I hope they're not serious when they say they're taking away the PvP ranking system, which some people have put hundreds if not thousands of hours into only to have their rank taken away.

That'd be sweet if they added a new BG also. I hope the expansion pack's awesome!

sweet!!

gief TBC now!

Blizzard trys to perfect their games to make them that addictive that they cant be sued for it lol but still addict pple as many of you prolly were i was in the closed and open betas for wow and it was buggy and it took bout 2 months testing one bug i remember i reported was that some men in wetlands were under water lol it not a major bug but it still would lower quality slightly (you can see the pirates now on the dock were they deserve to be ) and im also in this beta because i took part in the contest (to answer all you pple there was a contest on test realms) so ill tell you when it out ... lol ill be too busy playing

Sweet! Can't wait for it!

Oh, wait, that's right. I don't play WoW.

if it is just in alpha testing now, I wouldn't think that it would be out this year

Can't wait for this game!!!

sweet! me and some friends are going to PWN S0M3 N00BS!!!

yeah acid twisters comment holds some truth to it. unless they can the public beta which is more likely. I think they won't have a public beta because of the level cap and stuff like that

Well this is pretty obvious. They had people playing the game at E3, how could it not be in Alpha testing?

im so glad i have my life back. this update is meaningless to me. Enjoy your WOW slavery!

agree with acidtwister, when the patch came out yesterday, the servers went down for 4 extra hours of maintenence, and even then it took 5 minutes to mount, soo many people were joining the BG's it was lagging the server and they had to restart it about 3 times.

I hope Burning Crusade is going to be good,

Patch 1.12 just came out with public testing taking a little over a month.

Burning Crusade is starting Alpha testing in late August. Even if the beta starts soon, I smell a small delay coming. Unless Blizzard only wants to Alpha test the expansion for about a month (late September), then closed beta for a month (late October), and public beta for 2 months. But that's nowhere NEAR enough time to get all the bugs out of the content that will come with that expansion.

Even after the month that the CONTENT PATCH 1.12 was being publicly tested, the day that the patch came out, servers went down. Raid bosses were (and still are) bugged due to a new threat system. Players couldn't enter raid instances, because the new Cross Realm Battleground system took up the same servers as instances, and all instance servers were full.

That's just a content patch, and 2 aspects of the game that would seem insignificant, yet caused game breaking gameplay. In the expansion pack, flying mounts, a new profession, two new races, cross faction classes, an entirely new Arena pvp system, A WHOLE NEW CONTINENT, and a level cap are just SOME of the things that can have game breaking affects that come out if not tested properly.

WTB more beta time PST

aw come on why should it be a secret that alpha testing started, the important thing is that no one tells what happens IN the beta. All the hidden features and places that blizzard doesnt want to tell anyone

FLYING MOUNTS SWEETNESS

yay for WoW!

Cool, i've always wondered about this game and i've thought of getting it becasue it has great reviews and millions of people play it but I dont like medievil games i'm hoping that the expansion pack brings it into the future a bit . It does look good though

Woot! Here's hoping the expansion comes out soon!!!

yay, new skins and more levels to grind..worth $50?

Can't wait for the game to get completed

when the alpha beta will be release ?

thanks in advance for your answer

So gamespot knew through the end user license agreement?

lol who could keep that a secret? i'd be all like "im playin burnin crusade b*tches!!!!" and then i'd curse blizzard's horrible servers....yet still play the game.

I bet it goes through testing pretty quickly, since its just an expansion. The basic code was already layed out. That is the best part of expansions.

Yay.

So how is the beta going to work? Is it free with a pre order or will it be given to players with long play times like they did with CoH/CoV?

Lame? Blizzard takes forever with anything, get over it.

just what the world doesnt need

Either Tom Chilton of Jeff Kaplan said the Burning Crusade beta would shortley follow the release of patch 1.12. I would expect the beta to start within a week.

yep beta is coming soon

I think the release of such information is simply blizz's way of hinting that the beta is very close now. I mean think about it, over the past few weeks they've started throwing all kinds of BC info out. The beta has got to be mere weeks away now, with a larger 'open' beta in 1-2 months. November release maybe Im just being hopeful but I just want the damn expansion to come out already. I like im sure most have gotten bored of running the same stuff over and over, I really dont raid full time anymore b/c my work schedule and there is only so many times you can run deadstrat...

Not a big suprise.

I wonder how hard Blizzard is going to come down on the testers to find the snitch. Investigate all the testers, or just fire them all and postpone the tests till later?
