    One thing to note is that the positive reactions you see from the beta testers are from people who are, well, still playing the game. I was in the alpha since November and burt out around July. I still log in now and then to see what's new and give feedback but I'm not a rabid fan posting on the forums. I know many others who have also quit but you generally don't hear from these people on blizzard forums.

    On the other hand, WoW has really perfected the Everquest style game. It's a pretty fun and easy game I think it will be very popular, but not everyone wants to play a game that is essencially a level grind.

    I'm not in the beta yet, though, so I'm afraid I can't do that. :(

    This isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you think you'll really like the game, it may be more enjoyable to play the polished retail version than the beta.
