The Blizzard Entertainment Website
(thanks
Worldofwar.net) has word that
sign-ups to beta test World of WarCraft, their upcoming MMORPG, will begin on
Wednesday:
At 6:00 pm PST on Wednesday, January 28th, the signup period
for the World of Warcraft Beta Test will officially begin. We will provide a
link to the beta-test application right here in the news section at that time.
Testers are not going to be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, so you
will be able to submit an application and receive equal consideration anytime
during the signup period, which will end on Wednesday, February 4th at 6:00 pm
PST. Please note that multiple submissions from the same household will result
in complete disqualification.
For this initial phase of the World of Warcraft beta test, we will only be able
to accept applications from Canada, Korea, and the US. The test for Europe and
other countries around the world will happen later this year. Please do not
contact us for further information regarding the beta test; we will be posting
an FAQ in the days ahead.
