World Of Warcraft Open Beta to Start Next Week
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."
In regards to the software testing, I think it has more to do with the game than the network connection. Specifically, what actions are taking too much CPU time/bandwidth/memory. Hopefully they'll get the kinks out in time for the open beta.
