But the email I got doesn't look very official, the body of it, but the email addy itself does: (WoWExpansionBeta @ blizzard.com)

The website they offer as a link looks official, complete with the padlock things in the corner on the toolbar, but because the body of the email says the site will ask for password and such (which I guess it would) I'm still not 100%..

There's just so many scams around now a days that I'm just not sure...

Someone who's in the beta... can you link me to the site that I'm spose to go to for this?

No, I'm not selling my beta key, I'm going in and I'm going to be going nuts, but I want to make sure this is legit first.

Please and thanking you.

The link it gives shouldn't be hypertext (That is, you should have to copy and paste it or write it out as opposed to clicking on it).

And also I believe it is beta.worldofwarcraft.com

If the link is anything else, I wouldn't really trust it, myself.

Wrath of the Lich King™ Beta Test

You have been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King™. Welcome!

In the beta test you’ll get an opportunity to test the first zones of the new Northrend continent, and the new levels above 70. We look forward to your feedback on the overall experience, including quests, monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more. We would also appreciate reports on any bugs you may encounter. These can be logged using the /bug command explained below.

Getting started:

In order to participate in the beta test, you must upgrade an existing retail account that has been upgraded with The Burning Crusade®, allowing you to connect to the Wrath of the Lich King™ test realms. The World of Warcraft®: The Burning Crusade® game client that you use must be patched up to version 2.4.2 or later in order to install the beta test client.

Go to http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com and follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions to begin playing the Wrath of the Lich King beta.

Please be prepared to enter the current retail World of Warcraft account name and password you use, and the appropriate beta code listed below to authenticate your eligibility to connect to the Wrath of the Lich King test realms. To participate in the beta tests, you must have a valid retail World of Warcraft account active and in good standing as of July 15, 2008.

Below is a beta code that will allow you to upgrade a World of Warcraft account to be eligible for the Wrath of the Lich King beta test. Each beta code can be used only once to upgrade an active retail World of Warcraft account.

==================

Please retain this email for your records. If you experience any issues setting up the beta account or accessing the test realms, please email Billing Support at wowbetabilling@blizzard.com.

Sending us feedback:

Typing /bug in chat will open an error reporting interface, and we encourage you to use it any time you encounter a problem or want to send us a suggestion.

Troubleshooting:

If you experience any difficulties installing the beta game client, or have problems connecting to the test realms, please contact Technical Support either by posting on the appropriate forum at http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/forums or by email at wowbetatech@blizzard.com. Please remember that this software is still undergoing development, so any in-game issues should be reported using the /bug feature.

Not everyone. Two people in my guild have keys and I know one really has earned the right to have so much fun and let us know what is going on.

But, I still want one. The more I read about DKs the more I want one.

And tomorrow I'll actually get to play it..

Took about 20 hours for the initial DL and install and now it's DLing the patch.

It is only one patch, right? I don't need to DL another one after this?

Because, my god, this thing is so SLOW!

Is there a mirror for the patch for the beta that will be done in an hour or two? atm, it's telling me that it's gonna take another 10-14 hours. lol

Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:30 pm

I still don't have one either if it makes you guys feel better. razz Plenty of people don't.

And chances are it'll just be one patch, yeah. All the previous patched rolled into one.

I finally saw the login screen! xd It's pretty but when you have your sound loud on your headset the dragon freaks you out when it's just at 1am. lol

I got past the login only to see... hey, another patch!

Ahwell, I'll get to play it in the morning so long as there ain't another one. rofl
