WoW: Cataclysm Beta Opt-In Starts Now

Do you want to explore the shattered Azeroth of Cataclysm before anyone else? Now's your chance!

nothing short of fantastic [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/view-from-the-road/7537-View-from-the-Road-The-WoW-Cataclysm-Cometh]. Now, if you want to hop in and play around in the world before anyone else as part of the game's beta test, you have two real options: One, you can work for a popular and acclaimed gamer lifestyle outlet (like, say ... this one *cough*), or you can try your luck with the beta opt-in.

"But John," you may ask, "How do you opt in?" I'm glad you asked! It's quite simple, Beta Profile Settings page [http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=24702406285&sid=1] (the more the better; Blizzard probably wants to try Cataclysm on as wide a range of machines as possible), check the various ticker boxes of your choice, and you're good to go!

Now, we can't guarantee that you'll get in, but a shot at it is better than nothing, right? After all, Blizzard is "worgen real hard" to get the beta out the door soon!

That was terrible, Bornakk, just terrible. And yet, I still laughed.

wow that was quick i was expecting a longer alpha

 

[VitusPrime]

Hmm...I think even though I really wanna play cata, im going to wait till it comes out properly, make it much more worth while waiting.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Just when you thought WoW wasen't addicting enough....


Looks like some of the Escapist's here are going to be MIA for a long time.

I'm looking at you, Mr.Funk.

 

[Jared]

They didn't take long. Well, good for all the WoW players!

Ah, that's not the worst worgen pun I've heard. Many people across the Internets are planning on naming their worgen characters 'Tracy Worgen', 'Dexter Worgen', and 'Worgen Freeman', whenever they get the chance.

That said, I'll definitely try and do this soon as I get the chance. I eagerly await being able to play with two new races, and being able to fly literally everywhere in Azeroth/Outland/Northrend is the best upcoming change I've ever heard of.

Awesome!
Btw, when I built my new computer for some months ago i got beta access to starcraft 2 ASAP, so I hope that the same thing will happen now

Meh...this is like 1/3th of a game the only thing they are adding is maps and 2 or 3 raids and moving some quests around,

 

[Jack and Calumon]

ENTERING NOW! MUST HAVE WOW!

Calumon: Blizzard, why? He had a life!

Er.

Methinks you... haven't been following this all that much, if that's all you think Cata is.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Cata took *more* work on the development side of things than either TBC or WotLK.

 

[Deofuta]

Sounds like a good a time as ever to start thinking about WoW again. Maybe it's time to roll my first ever Alliance toon? We shall see...

 

[Kiithid]

I wonder if said WoW profiles have to be active on the past few months, if yes damn there it goes my chance to see my pc crash and die (it's that old) else... yay I have a chance to annoy my friends who are looking greatly foward it.

 

[Asturiel]

Does my WoW account need to be active to try to get in?

 

[Alar]

Come on, Blizzard. It's me, your old buddy. Remember when I first started playing with you? I was five years old! I've bought every single one of your games since then. Won't you please, please let me into the Closed Beta this time? Please?

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! I got all your games, and you only let me into a test realm once, and not even a beta so far, lemme in this time, chris!!!!!!!!

 

[dochmbi]

Not interested, I'd prefer to go into cata with as little info about it as possible, tyvm.

All those names and no-one's going with Christopher Worgen? (Ok, I know you'd have to cram it into 13 letters )

Sign me up tho. Already got 'PandoraShox' for my goblinette shammy, I do love poor pun names

 

[Grike]

Meh, I got into the BC beta when it came out, but was unfortunately barely able to get anywhere since I was leveling my Hunter. Probably gonna pass on this, wanna play Cata without Spoilers, but good luck to all of you who're looking to get in!
