World Of Warcraft - Stress test beta.

didnt see any threads on this, so....

head over to www.fileplanet.com and sign up for the stress test beta for WoW, and play free for a week.
not a long time but still. enough to get a good test of it.
just recieved my CD key little bit ago. havnt tried the game yet.

I got my key when it was a closed application at first. I'm giving it a try to see how it is and see if I like it or not. I'm a person who just can't stand MMORPG's. The only 2 I have ever liked are PSO and City of Heroes (currently playing CoH still) so if this can't grab my attention, then I'm not touching it again.

But hey, a free week to test is good enough to form my own opinion.

:eek:
You're in the closed beta but you're not using it?

Jonbo298 · 08-31-2004, 11:22 AM

Well, what I meant by closed beta was that when fileplanet limited it to only subscribers, I signed up to guarantee a key for the 7 day stress test.

Took me an hour to get it. Constant 650k a sec download *Hugs my 5000/768 connection*

yea. im betting mine was quite comparable. it was going at a bit over 700k/sec when i started last night. when i looked this morning it was at about 590k/sec as the last recorded bit sent. it just didnt say the total time it took. or at least i didnt see it before i closed the window.

Not sure if I will get WoW. I was interested in it for a while but after FFXI I'm not sure if I want to get into another MMORPG.

LOL, FFXI is starting to sound like a tragic experience, not a fun game.

I really like the idea of WoW, but I don't have the time to play it. And I don't want to spend the money on it.

Yeah of course, you get a lot of fun for that money, but once I start playing it... it's addicting and I don't want to be addicted.
I'll check out the open bèta tough.

Hopefully that'll last for some weeks.....

Does anyone know how much the montly fee on this will be?

or whats the average price of these types of games per month? like everquest, star wars galaxies, FFXI, etc.

Canyarion · 09-01-2004, 01:53 PM

$10 -$13
Something like that.

yay I actually helped Null for a change

Jonbo298 · 09-01-2004, 02:06 PM

Most MMORPG's now are going to be $15 a month so thats the likely price.

Null · 09-01-2004, 02:44 PM

sad thing really. so over priced its amazing.
All they'd need is a few $ from everyone, i'd say like 5 a month and that would be well more then enough for them to maintain the servers and keep a profit. They really limit thier userbase by making it so costly. They're making out like bandits when they have a price of 10 or more per person per month.
