World of Warcraft Closed Beta Ending

Posted by Zonk on from the long-live-king-bronzebeard! dept.

JD-1027 writes "Blizzard is ending it's closed beta test of World of Warcraft Friday at 3pm PDT. Somewhat of an abrupt announcement, welcome by most, that means the release of the game is inching closer." In all likelihood this indicates the imminent arrival of the Open Beta Test.

    Which will be a slashdotting of their open beta. ;)

    It must be a good game; my cube used to be adjacent to some guy in this Beta, and for months he spent more time talking on the phone about... uh... soul shards and necromancers and other esoteric things than he did actually earning his salary. I was preparing to kill him and leave D & D lead figurines stuffed in all his orifices (got a good deal on 25 pounds of them on eBay) when I picked up a better contract somewhere else.

    Actually, there are at least three main teams--the third is in charge of issuing DMCA threats against open source projects.
