Stress test.... for those who sold your beta accounts... congrats they are worth shit now..
It only is for 7 days but you know people... they'll sell those account keys to idiots who think they are real beta accounts.

Gah, so it's only for people in beta?
True stress testing is OPEN BETA. f*****g open beta, and you'll draw in more costumers.
EQ2 will be out before WoW, in which loss of subscribers.
I know everyone will say, "WELL, UMM, THEY ARE BLIZZARD THEY ARE GOD" Or, "Their games have no bugs or exploits in them, which is why it takes long periods of time to create" Or, "SINCE ITS MADE BY BLIZZARD PEOPLE WILL STILL PLAY IT"
Well, no they wont. SoE is a prime example of making an addictive MMORPG, or as they call them now adays, MMO's due to lack of role playing done by characters or features introduced into the game. EQ lore, has been one of the best backgrounds into the game I have seen yet in a video game. It just lacks the place for people to role play it.
Err, I am going off on a pointless tangent. But yeah, Blizzard is so f*****g amazing when it comes to patches. Why can't they just stress test with an open beta? They are Blizzard for christs sake, they can surely defeat a little stress test, in turn, releasing the game, in turn, getting more subscribers, IN TURN, making more money.
Gah, I am just f*****g bored IRL, I WANT TO f*****g PLAY THIS GAME. That is the only reason I am b******g, well that, and the fact that I am a dickhead that everyone hates.

I hope the stress test goes well and Blizzard decides to keep the people who signed up for the next phase.
WoW is looking closer to completion...

Actually this is a smart plan for Blizzard. I can't think of a singleMMOG that wasn't plagued by networking and hardware issues the first few days after release. They are going to try and sort it out a few months beforehand, imagine that.

Ohh cool, to bad the reason I am bored is becasue I am w/o a credit card becasue I payed my last one off, and I haven't gotten a new one yet. So I can't buy a month or 4 months, or w/e the minimum subscription length is for fileplanet.

Know what p****s me off about this? The fact that I signed up forever ago for beta and haven't gotten shit but joe schmoe can decide oh I missed beta sign ups I can get in through fileplanet
What a joke...
f**k you Blizzard and your s****y games... the original Diablo was the last game they made that had something to offer at the time.
Total Annihilation > Starcraft and by time WC3 came out the genre was already turned to shit.
Diablo 2 held my attention through the first act, I guess that's something right?
Yeah, I am butt hurt over it, f**k you!

Hehe TA > SC , funny. TA is horrible
I dont understand this stress test either as i thought the stress test was open beta. However the more I think about it the mmorpg's i have been in open beta for they dont do hardly anything in terms of patching during open beta as it seems more like a demo of the game to get ppl hooked on it.

It is only for 7 days, which at the end of those 7 days you no longer get to play and have to wait all over again.

Better than waiting for a beta invite that will never happen

If I had paid $16 for 7 days of SWG I would have saved myself:
(($49+6% tax + $13.95 or whatever the monthly fee was) - $16)
It's pretty easy to know a game is a piece of shit in a couple days.

I signed me and my wife up without joining fileplanet. It said we were accepted and I am awaiting the s****y public server downloads now on both cpus.
They also have some lower priced stuff going on, saw a half priced deal on there for 7.95, if you click off of wanting to pay. They also have a free trial deal also, but I always forget to cancel those things, and end up paying.
Kind wish I would of done it though, so I didnt have to wait for the downloads forever.

and by the way you people who are b******g about all this shit, make a private server...they have them out already where people are hosting their own servers and playing privately. I'm sure some of you smart people with server hosting skills can figure out how to make your own server and host it for everyone on realpoor, go to work my little munchkins.

World of Warcraft Stress Test Beta Set to Begin - Indoflaven on 09/01/04
The World of Warcraft stress test beta is just a day away. Hundreds of thousands of gamers applied for the stress test this past week, and FilePlanet was up to the task, issuing over 100,000 accounts and providing the stress test beta client for download. With the signups and downloads complete, we are just about ready to welcome these gamers into World of Warcraft for the very first time.
Starting tomorrow, September 2nd at 12:00 noon PDT, stress test beta participants will be able to create their World of Warcraft accounts and begin playing the game. Their participation will help us optimize our account-creation and server infrastructure, and enable us to deliver the best online experience possible when the game launches later this year. We want to thank everyone who applied for the stress test beta, and we look forward to seeing the new testers online tomorrow when the stress test beta starts.
Selected stress test beta participants should keep an eye on their inboxes for an email containing further instructions. For more information on the World of Warcraft stress test beta, please check out our FAQ. To get a head start on learning how to play World of Warcraft, take a look at our beta strategy guide.
