Dude! you are missing so much! when you first create a worgen you get teleported to an instance where you have to escape like the marines in AVP, and this guy is chasing you with really long sharp finger nails called freddy too!
*the above may not be true.
haha I agree with the above!
* GIGGLE *
Had so many msg's like this one.
The Battle.net account listed below was invalid when we attempted to flag it for the public beta for World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm.
Please, if your going to ask me to add you to the list, make it the correct email
The rest seem ok so far, even Voltage's
Happy playing and no telling!

yeah you get auto beta access if your in the alpha
This is beta.
Nope, its friends and family alpha. Much earlier stage in blizzard games. Actual beta (which will be no nda) is weeks if not months away still.
BTW, just read the NDA. And to even acknowlege that this F&F alpha exists is to break the NDA.
Can I suggest that this thread gets deleted until Blizz changes the terms of the NDA?

To be fair Blizzard already confirmed the existence of the F&F Alpha on the official forums.
Played this morning for about 20mins and the client crashed 6times during a talent spec so I gave up. Funny really, first report sent through error logging was really quite detailed, after that it got shorter and shorter to the point it said " I've no idea what I as doing the game wasn't on long enough!"
Hmm.. Someone told me it had gone past Alpha. Oh well.
And +1 to the above post. Just played for about 15 mins and got 10 crashes.
Yeah it was crashing for me a lot this morning before work, seemed to alleviate by running in a window but if I minimized it soon crashed. Submitted bug reports, that's what alpha is for, the amount of people complaining about instability, bugs etc in the WOTLK beta was just silly, they were there to test!
