Crowbar August 28, 2004 Share Crowbar Member August 28, 2004 Fileplanet is bringing it's subscribers (like me ) a spot in the stress test phase of both the World of Warcraft beta, and the Tribes: Vengence beta. Both are available for download to anyone with a FP subscription (like me ). For the WoW beta, you log in, get a unique key, and then download the 2GB+ file and wait for the stress test to begin. I'll let you know how it goes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX August 28, 2004 Share NOFX Member August 28, 2004 is it the actually game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar August 28, 2004 Author Share Crowbar Member August 28, 2004 it's the beta, yes. this will be the stress test phase, i.e. the part where they get as many people to log on as possible to see if the servers will be able to take it. If they fail, it's still part of the beta, so they don't look bad. If the servers take it fine, they release the game and we all have to pay for it.

Brillow_Head August 30, 2004 Share Brillow_Head Member August 30, 2004 Funny, it says for subcriber of File planet...yada yada...for a CHANCE to participate...yada yada... so does it mean your names goes into another hat or you automatically get a beta to try out?

spiralstairs September 2, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member September 2, 2004 nice... Wow Beta opens on the same day I got my new comp! I've never played any MMORPG (cept for EQ when it first came out for like 5 mins then I got bored ) so I'm lookin forward to this one. Downloading it right now (this is taking forever even on my cable connexion). -noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linch September 2, 2004 Share linch Member September 2, 2004 I was doing a little reading.... is this stress test only for a week or did I read something wrong? If its for the rest of the beta......Anyone wanna share or doesnt need their account.. I'm dying to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX September 2, 2004 Share NOFX Member September 2, 2004 yea I just found out that its only for about a week, but its cool I would like to test it out before I spend 50 bucks on it. Also now that I have the game, I can play on the free servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralstairs September 3, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member September 3, 2004 I just played for about ten minutes or so, before I got bored... It looks exactly like EQ to me (then again I'm not much of a MMORPG kinda guy, the monthly fees always turned me off and their general shoddiness in general, too). Right click, approach the enemy, chill until you kill it. Same ol thing. But I guess if this is your thing you'll dig it. And its Warcraft which is a plus. I remember real-time videos of this thing looking really good. But it just looks and feels like EQ to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX September 3, 2004 Share NOFX Member September 3, 2004 ah man this game looks awesome, I played for hours last night. So much better than Shadowbane. Its just like any other MMorpg, I never did play EQ because it was to carebear land for me. I can't wait to get to a higher level so I can see what the PvP is like. It will be hard to compete with UO's PvP, but the game looks and the controls are great. So far this looks like the promising MMORPG everyone wants.

spiralstairs September 3, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member September 3, 2004 I take back what I said.... Right after I posted that, I ended up playing until 5 or so in the morning... Looks like I might actually buy a MMORPG.... -noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiralstairs September 4, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member September 4, 2004 i dont know man. beats me. i used winzip to unzip the program. i dont know if this has anything to do with anything, but... might as well try it (maybe someone who knows more about computers can help ya out...).

spiralstairs September 6, 2004 Share spiralstairs Member September 6, 2004 weird... now i cant even open the program. I get a WoW.Exe application error: The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). I was enjoyin the game, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r September 6, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member September 6, 2004 i been too busy to really mess with it but i got nothing to do today. I was trying to use WinRar to open it, but i think it needed WinZip, cause that worked.... installing now, can't wait to see the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
