World of Warcraft
 
I know I'm not the only one here that plays the Warcraft games and I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting for this game to come out so for those of you intrested, World of Warcraft Beta sign-ups start Wednesday.

I figured if I made that the title this topic would die when the game is released or if someone gets in it so I figured if this stays around I'm sure some of us could put it to good use.

DS 01-26-2004 10:31 PM

Forgot to say the sign-ups are on Blizzard.com and they aren't first come first serve so don't worry about rushing to put it in. Only a week though so don't forget.

World of Warcraft is basically a Warcraft game but in the form of MMORPG. There's a little more features added such as first person view too. Sounds like it will be a great game.

road doggy dogg 01-27-2004 04:39 PM

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.

Hahaha Ant got punk'dddddd

Anywho, it looks amazing. I'm definitely at least going to try it for a month.

sucafrutpi 01-27-2004 06:22 PM

i'm counting the hours til signups start. i really hope i get picked. for those of you who have done beta test for blizzard before, how do they do it? email you to tell you got picked with a link to the game dl?

Funky Fly 01-27-2004 09:19 PM

Oh, shit! I actually have heard of that game. Hott.

DS 01-27-2004 09:52 PM

I thought today was Wednesday so I was refreshing the site and it wouldn't show. :o

If they are anything like other beta tests, probably are, they will probably send you an email to tell you that you got in. Then I don't know. Maybe a link or actual beta CD.

sucafrutpi 01-27-2004 11:49 PM

i hope they mail cd's, but i doubt they will. it would save me 3 days of downloading :|

Silent 01-28-2004 07:37 PM

Opens in like an hour, gonna sign up.

sucafrutpi 01-28-2004 08:28 PM

oh yeah. the wait to feb 4 is going to be hellish.

DS 01-28-2004 09:12 PM

:mad: It's up but it won't let me submit. :( I'll keep trying.

sucafrutpi 01-28-2004 09:46 PM

same here. their servers must be overwhelmed. i'll wait til later and try again. did you see the fascist mac system requirements? i don't know what to make of it. either the mac version is really poorly written or you can't adjust graphics settings. if the final version is like that, they won't be selling very many copies. requiring testers to have an OS that only just came out in nov is crazy...512 meg of ram min?!?! it's a ****ing game, not autoCAD!!! and 64 meg of vRAM min, when the pc version only needs a geforce "world's shittiest video card" 2. wtf?
:wtf:

DS 01-28-2004 09:49 PM

LOL

DS 01-28-2004 09:51 PM

I hear their servers are incredibly lagged right now. I'm glad I upgraded my PC or I wouldn't have stood a chance.

On step 2 right now. :(

Silent 01-28-2004 09:59 PM

Holy shit the site is slow.

Silent 01-28-2004 10:02 PM

And yeah what the **** is up with the mac requirements?!

My computer doesn't even meet the min. requirements for processor speed. I'm 200 mhz short. My video card also might be too slow.

Oh well, I'll sign up anyway. Maybe my friend will get it on his PC and I can play it over there.

sucafrutpi 01-28-2004 10:04 PM

i don't think your comp's speed will necessarily be a factor on pc. the system requirements for pc are basically any computer made withing the last 3-5 years :roll: i on the other hand may have an advantage, since most mac owners won't meet the minimum system requirements. i'll have to upgraded my OS to play, and my laptop is only 5 months old :GAY:

that sux :( if you only have an 800 mhz processor, you don't have a video card with at least 64 of video ram...unless you have an old powermac and upgraded the video card. they might not care. you could always buy a POS eMachines online for like $200 lol. i can't imagine that the final version will be as restrictive on system requirements for mac...they would barely make any ****ing money off it. they probably just picked requirements for the range of systems they haven't been able to test yet. or like i said earlier, it is poorly written and they will tweak it later when they have a bit more time.

DS 01-28-2004 10:13 PM

There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time.

Figured. :mad:

sucafrutpi 01-28-2004 10:25 PM

at least you got a message. i just get my browser's 'can't load this page' message. WEAK! i hope this isn't indicative of the kind of performance we can expect from their game network...of course it is still early on the west coast, so i bet they are all flooding the website over there. :-\

DS 01-28-2004 10:33 PM

That was the first time I recieved that message. It's usually just the "Can't Load..." page.

DS 01-28-2004 11:28 PM

Finally got done with it.

Silent 01-28-2004 11:31 PM

I have an eMac. I really want a tower machine that I can upgrade. Preferably a G5, but they are expensive. I would go for a G4 though, don't need any special hardware like a printer or monitor, so maybe I can get one on eBay or something. Any suggestions?

road doggy dogg 01-29-2004 01:50 AM

Holy Jesus am I glad it's not on a first-come first-serve basis

Went to try earlier tonight and got the same problems as most people here.

Even worse, my PC's internet seems to have gotten the boot, so I can't even really apply. I got a bit through it before my internet went out, and it said something about testing your PC's specs, so I'd rather it test the specs on that one than on this one, so I'll have to wait.

But man, site was going hella slow earlier. I bet it was all them damn Koreans :mad:

KleptoKlown 01-29-2004 02:05 PM

Gonna try and register from work and from home, double my chances :cool:

KleptoKlown 01-29-2004 02:07 PM

feck, my work computer sucks :(

G 01-29-2004 02:27 PM

I still can't get through :(

Silent 01-29-2004 03:47 PM

OMFG I'm mad now.

I decided WoW was a good reason to go get a new computer finally, so I did. Got a new 1.6 GHz G5 mac, and I bring it home, install the OS upgrades, and BAM it won't even boot up now.

The computer gods hate me.

road doggy dogg 01-29-2004 04:20 PM

SSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Got my internet fixed and signed up. Nobody must be doing it right now, 'cause I went through totally lag-free and got finished up within 2 minutes. HOT. I can't wait for this game to come out.
