World of Warcraft Open Beta [Nov 08, 2004, 6:09 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Blizzard Entertainment announces the
beginning of the World of Warcraft Open Beta (thanks Ant), though the
World of Community Website seems
to have crumpled under the stress of the news. Word is that: "An initial run of
open beta accounts is now available from
FilePlanet"
(not limited to paid subscribed like the stress test), the wording suggesting
accounts will be available elsewhere eventually. Here's a bit on the beta: "In
preparation for the launch of World of Warcraft, we are now introducing the most
complete version of the game, including a new patch with extensive content,
including racial traits, raids, Hunter and Paladin talents, new quests for
high-end zones, and much more." Update: The client is now also available
on WorldofWarcraft.com and
mirrored on Gamer's Hell.
Who cares if the game is gold? There's a patcher. There will be at least one more patch before Nov 23 and, obviously, constant patches after release.Constant patches after release? Don't kid yourself. Blizzard's stated repeatedly since the beginning of the beta until now that there will not be constant patches, but rather releases of large patches that don't occur often.
This MMORPG is more complete at its release than just about any other out there.
Guild wars was beyond boring and lacked a key element: fun.
It's funny that you're one of those kids who scream "nerf" when Blizzard implements a "change".
But what do you care, you won't be playing anyway. (yea, right.)
Just because WOW is more complete than any other MMORPG doesn't mean we have to accept it in its current state. After years of development and from Blizzard, nonetheless, one would come to expect something more than an unfinished, buggy, imbalanced product.
I don't know where you get off on calling Guild Wars 'unfun'.
"Change" hah. Tell that to all the warriors who can't tank anymore. What's their purpose now?
