freakout writes "After years in development, Blizzard Entertainment announced on Thursday that they will soon be accepting applicants for the FREE World of Warcraft Open Beta Test for North America. The open phase of beta will give people a chance to enter Azeroth and play WoW before the game is released in mid-November." Perhaps you could play with your spouse?

    ...Time to start refreshing the Beta page every 5 seconds.

    I remember when Closed Beta signups were taking place, that was a disaster. I think I had to click "Submit" a few thousand times per page to navigate the signup app. If you want in here, you'd better be in first.

      You could have waited until day 2 or 3 of signups. The signups were open a week, and participants were chosen *randomly*, not according to signup time.

    This is the open beta. You don't have to worry about not getting accepted. You will. It's open. This has been planned since before the beta schedule started, and, I repeat, 'open' means everybody gets in.
