Just curious, I've heard nothing.

You won't get a rejected email, I'm almost 500% sure. You will just got a accpeted letter if your in.

I've applied to many beta's the last few months. I've never got a rejected email for the ones I didn't get in.

They've already said, you will only get e-mail if you're accepted.

They also said they will announce on the site or the forums when they've sent out the beta e-mails

I'm almost 500% sure

LOL! Almost?

no emails sent out yet. Most of the people on the WoW forums are betting on Wednesday but that means pretty much nothing...lol

yea Pan almost. ;)

You won't have to wonder for long...from their FAQ on the beta...sounds like the beta players will just be able to say if they got in.

Can you tell us more about the beta? Will there be different phases? Will there be an open beta? Will it require a NDA?
World of Warcraft is currently in the alpha-testing stage. The beta test, which is scheduled to start sometime in early 2004, will initially be open to players in the U.S., Canada, and Korea. Participation will not require an NDA. Similarly to how we've conducted beta tests in the past, we will gradually open up the beta to more and more testers in order to gauge server stability and connectivity. While we don't know what the total number of beta testers will be yet, this will by far be our largest beta test ever.

Participation will not require an NDA

So WoW will *not* require an NDA? That's a new one on me. I thought all betas required an NDA of some sort.

None of Blizzard games have EVER required an NDA as far as I know. I know Warcraft III and Diablo II didn't.

Wow... or should I say WoW! :)

Vewwy intewesting!

Well? /tap

I haven't heard yet.

Still mention that they've been sent out. So, I'm assuming they haven't.

I hope they haven't. It'd be a bad omen for Blizzard to start out in SoE fashion, with a lie. :D

Where do you see that, Aidon? Got a link?

Erm, I left out a "no".

Still, no mention that they've been sent out. Etc etc, blah blah.

Posted a few minutes ago:

Obviously there is really nothing new here, but mainly they posted it to let people know that emails haven't gone out yet/not beta yet.

Thanks Malek!

Someone is guessing mid-March for the beta.

I've given up on all guesses, suppositions, and estimations, by Blizzard or anyone else =P

Not a one has proven right =D

People seem to forget how many times Diablo II was pushed back. (and i'm damn glad it was, the finished product was well worth the wait) Blizzard is notorious for refusing to release a game til it's damn well ready, something I applaud them for.

As much as i'm eager to know if i'll get a beta spot, i'd rather wait for a better product to begin testing on than rush matters like another company with a name that's four letters beginning with an S and ending with a y that releases buggy crap for beta and doesn't improve a damn thing by the end of the beta...

A game being pushed back is not always a sign of quality, or of a good game.

Can you say Daikatana?

How about Duke Nukem Forever (and ever and ever.)

Be patient, but dont assume that it's gonna be perfect just because it takes a month or two longer than we'd like. Worst thing you can do is set your hopes and expectations so high as to be disappointed by reality when it arrives.

Horizons was pushed back ohh 6 years and while not saying its a bad game it's not one I wished to play more than a week.

Hahah. Well, in this case I think I'll take the "glass is half full" approach and assume that since it is Blizzard, that it is like their previous delayed releases... ie, delayed like a fine wine that is aged to perfection. ;)

Almost all MMOG's get pushed (is it all of them at this point?)

I don't think you can infer anything at all about a game from that.

And this is a blizzard owned by Vivendi. AKA, the French version of Sony.
