World Of Warcraft Open Beta to Start Next Week

Posted by Zonk on from the zug-zug dept.

Drac8 writes "Blizzard and Fileplanet have announced that the World of Warcraft open beta will start at the beginning of next week. Fileplanet subscribers and current Beta testers are invited to start now. Fileplanet subscribers may find it slow going, as servers are overloaded and requests for signups/keys are going very slow."

    Actually, that's the cost for a quarterly subscription. A few hours after the announcement went up on fileplanet last night, they changed the link. It was originally pointing to the $7.90 basic subscription page. http://www.fileplanet.com/subscribe/wow/r3.html is the cheaper signup page.

    Probably. WoW has supposedly reasonable hardware demands. I used to routinely play SWG on a 4 year old laptop with a Geforce2go 32 Meg chip. Have fun on the road.

    Actually if you are a REALLY cheap bastard you can sign up for $6.95. It takes so snooping around though.
