Wow. Sounds sweet. I still think Guild Wars will be better. But I've never played WoW yet, so I don't know for myself.

Question- do you have to be a fileplanet subscriber to test WoW, or is there another way to get in?
You played the Song of Storms!

Man I had no idea they were doing a public beta, even if it is a 7 day stress test. I've been following this game for about 3 years. Downloading now... :p

Edit: Just realized you had to sign-up beforehand. Download cancelled... This sucks, lol :(

You have to use WINZIP to unzip it. I had problems when I used winRAR.

Unzipped ok but I get an error when i click the WoW exec. SO i guess i miss out :(

I love RPG's, where is a good place to get turned on to beta testing games. Or do you have to follow the development of the particular game?

Actually, this game is far from being ready. I'll break it down for you:

Lvls 1-25: Fantastic game. If this is all your're looking for then you will love it.
Lvls 25-50: Still a great experience, yet still needs some work. (quests, itemization and such)
Lvls 50+ : Not even close to being ready. Hardcore gamers will be extremely dissapointed. Itemzation is horrible, no raid content etc.

It seems Blizzard has cattered to the casual gamer and has yet focused thier attention torwards the hardcore players.
