As of 9:43 AM I am officially Kanafinwe in the WoW Open Beta!! I downloaded the installer last night so I could be playing as soon as it is installed. The only problem is I have classes at 11:00am . Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until I get home. Maglor

I tried downloading it but even with the correct ports open on my router as they describe, their download method keeps disconnecting me from the net every couple of minutes then reconnecting again etc etc. Guess I 'll have to forgo this time around.

That sucks... I had a little trouble, but once I forwarded the ports and left it for a few minutes it actually got going pretty fast. I can't say I'm a fan of the system though.
Maybe try getting it another method. I'm sure someone out there is sharing it on another file sharing program.
I any case, thats too bad that you aren't playing (yet).

Congrats :}
I hoped to get in on it, but by the time I would've had it downloaded, I could just go pick up my Collector's edition :}

YEEHA!!! I'm in! Grimbold connected to my FTP server and uploaded the install program to me overnight. The updates worked (there were a few that took about 20 minutes to dl/install) and now I'm in the beta finally!
I created 2 chars in number Test 17 in the central zone where Grimbold and I will set out from. One is a Warlock Human (ArathornV) and the other a Paladin Dwarf (Haran).
If anyone else is using a different zone let us know and maybe we can start new chars in a place we can all play from.
Off I go!!

I am in Test 31 (Pacific realm). I have a level 13 Hunter named Kanafinwe. If you haven't already andvanced very far you could start a character on this server and I could give you a hand with some of the beginning quests . Maglor

Heh, I downloaded the beta, used a night on it, installed it and found out I did not have a key for it so could not create Could have been fun though They "could" have told a key was needed but I thought, since I was able to get the page, connect and DL, that it was fine. But atleast I got to see the intro and the front page + checking my connection ( which was fine ) Nothing so bad it aint good for anything ;D Maybe EQ II will serve for a while.

OH! Elatan.... I have an extra ID for the beta that I created by mistake that you can use! I'll email you the password. Email me back or post here if you have any trouble. I just logged on with it and it works fine!
The ID is ArathornVV. Again I'll email you the new password I gave it. Hopefully we'll see you in a game! 3 of us are playing in Test 26 in central zone.

Excellent! With four Valar dwarves nothing will be able to stop us (Assuming you join us on test 26 Elatan) As a side note, I can almost guarantee I wont be able to play tonight but I'll try to make it tomorrow night. Maglor

Maglor Heh, yeah.. maybe he should create a gnome shaman to round things out (and to resurrect us!) Btw, Maglor, I'm playing the Orc a bit to get the quests that you already have (at least the ones I think you have). I also have now created 3 Leather upgrade kits to give you, along with the one you already got from me (not sure if you need that many but still have 3 leathers to spare now and getting my skills up ;D)
