Game in general seems nowhere near close to done, i'm actually surprised they saw fit to go to beta in this state. Doesn't even look like theres been much done since before the random banhammer hit us all.

Then surely everyone who received an invite from said gm would be banned and not just random selections of people.

Did the random selection of people get their Alpha invites from the same GM?
I think in the majority of the cases on here, its yes.

Yes.

Oddly enough I got my beta invite from the same place as everyone else, yet I still seem to be ok. Not patched up for the beta yet, but I'm still active according to Battle.net.

Anything you did/didn't do that you think was different to the rest of us? This just makes it more confusing!

Then surely everyone who received their invite from the same gm would be banned rather than just a random selection of people invited by him.

Probably was one of the ones randomly selected to participate, and not 'invited' by Colin.

Were you not banned at any point though? As during the F&F alpha you couldn't have been randomly selected, so should have been banned like the rest of us?

Hi, i'm a new user and im french, and to be honest with you, I'm here to speak about the Cataclysm Beta, I'm probably not the first but according to the famous quotation, "He who dares, wins" i wanted to know if it is possible to receive an invitation thanks to one of you ? If you can't thank you nevertheless !

thats a sore subject atm

People who are banned can't really complain, no one on here met the Alpha test criteria anyway, it was mean to be extremely closed.

Edit: Actually thinking about it, it is a bit of a joke. Anyone who got banned is banned from public test realm as well....

Shep_Cobain · 2 Jul 2010 at 12:35

So is this an Open Beta yet or do you have to be one of the 'Chosen'?

You've been banned because Alpha is over, whats all the crying? :S

Have you actually read the thread? We were banned at least a few weeks before the end of the aplha, without any reason given. Also, the invites we were given stated till the end of the beta, so what you said is wrong.

I don't think people are annoyed about the banning, just that blizzard doesn't seem to want to explain why.

Closed beta, invites apparently going out today.

You're right, I was wrong.

Yeah but he doesn't mention the Alpha - says he recieved beta invite, makes me think he has just been selected along with the first wave of closed beta testers.
