WoW stress test beta live today

Indecisive · 2004-09-02, 09:15 AM

The World of Warcraft stress test beta is just a day away. Hundreds of thousands of gamers applied for the stress test this past week, and FilePlanet was up to the task, issuing over 100,000 accounts and providing the stress test beta client for download. With the signups and downloads complete, we are just about ready to welcome these gamers into World of Warcraft for the very first time.

Starting tomorrow, September 2nd at 12:00 noon PDT, stress test beta participants will be able to create their World of Warcraft accounts and begin playing the game. Their participation will help us optimize our account-creation and server infrastructure, and enable us to deliver the best online experience possible when the game launches later this year. We want to thank everyone who applied for the stress test beta, and we look forward to seeing the new testers online tomorrow when the stress test beta starts.

Selected stress test beta participants should keep an eye on their inboxes for an email containing further instructions. For more information on the World of Warcraft stress test beta, please check out our FAQ. To get a head start on learning how to play World of Warcraft, take a look at our beta strategy guide.

WTF MY ACCOUNT IS all F-ED UP!!!

I downloaded the update, it says it was corrupted because my uninstall files are missing. I open the beta client and it says a file is corrupt and I need to uninstall and reDL the ENTIRE game, possibly. but I cant uninstall because the Uninstall feature mysteriously disappeared.

Woe is me...Woe is me...

Im downloading now. YAY! for waiting till tonight to download it! Now I have a 2 hour wait in line.

So what would you guys say is the least played race for the horde? Or do more people play as the horde? I wanna play as the under dogs.

Do they have seperate PvP servers? What server are all you guys on?
