WoW Beta Signups Wednesday
[Jan 26, 2004, 11:05 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

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.

They want to cover a certain range of machines.

Yeah, firstly, they want to make sure the people in the test can actually run the game. Secondly, they also want to be able to troubleshoot the game on a very wide range of user configurations, configurations they can't test in house or don't have available to them. So if you have a machine with a less than normal hardware configuration, your chances of getting in are higher than normal. And these aren't just my words, these are the words of a Blizzard employee I was in contact with pre-WC3 beta. So begin installing your Matrox video cards and Hercules sound cards, they'll raise your chances ;).
