Wrath Of The Lich King Alpha

[spirity]

Also, when people say "Friends and Family" I don't think everyone realises just how big that sample is. It's not just friends and family of blizzard employees, but all kinds of random people. For the BC Alpha I remember a bunch of the top WC3 players all having keys, etc.

This is true. "Friends and family" stages can have all sorts of people playing. Anybody from lab guys at Nvidia to the bloke who runs the canteen.

I've played it. Just download and get it on a private server. There are no NPC's though. I only went on it to see the new areas... Some of them looks VERY impressive.

That can't be the most legit way of playing the beta though, I'm sure sandbox is something to do with private servers?

ill get a beta key when i go to paris next month anyhow, so i think i can wait till then

Was reading some posts on that german site and some guys complain about getting a trojan when they download the client from that site.....wouldnt trust their servers even if you get the client from blizzard.

Trojan is in their sandbox, play on a private server/use the emupedia sandbox and you'll be fine

I'm just going to wait (impatiently) for release, Id rather wait and play the finished product than play a bugged version, that'll have the characters wiped anyway.

I don't really see the appeal, I'd rather wait until the final version is available than play a buggy/incomplete version and ruin the surprise.

amen, the only beta i've ever played was guild wars nightfall and it ruined the experience when i actually paid money for it.

i'll let others fix the bugs and then enjoy the game as it's intended.

I'm gonna wait for the final version too, I don't want to get used to any new skills because like the Warrior talents in beta-TBC, they got nerfed quite a bit.

Deathknight skills sound pretty overpowered at the moment (from the Alpha) but I'm not worried as they'll be getting balancing before release more than likely.

Lots of info from the alpha there.

I'm in the F&F Alpha for WOTLK, I can't disclose any details but it's shaping up very nicely so far imo, way better than TBC was for the zones/quests

p.s just taking it easy not rushing through it, don't wanna completely ruin everything for release

Doesn't the NDA/EULA for the F&F Alpha say you aren't allowed to tell people you're in the Alpha, I'm pretty sure it does

Who cares?
