World of Warcraft: Beta Delayed
Admin
Administrator RarePosts: 5,623
Over the past few weeks, it has become apparent that the World of Warcraft beta will not be available within the fourth quarter of 2003. The development team is currently hard at work testing the alpha version of the game, and we look forward to bringing you an outstanding beta in early 2004.
Our goal is to always make the best games possible, and a critical part of the development process includes the public beta test. This means that we will not release the final product or any other component of the game until it's ready. Rather than release an inferior candidate to meet a specific date, we have chosen to further test World of Warcraft internally until we feel the game will allow for a productive beta test.
Announcements concerning the beta test, along with additional details about the game, will be released in the near future. We encourage you to check this official Web site for further updates. Thank you for your continued support and patience.

"Over the past few weeks, it has become apparent that the World of Warcraft beta will not be available within the fourth quarter of 2003...."
Blizzard is a good company, but this is stupid funny.
The calander says 12/23/03. There is no beta. There's only 8 days left in the fourth quarter of 2003. Most of those 8 days left are national holidays. I believe most of us already got the hint the beta would not be out in 4th Q '03.
I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next big Blizzard press release, "Blizzard releses details of who's buried in Grant's Tomb."

Achievers realise that killers as a concept are necessary in order to make achievement meaningful and worthwhile (there being no way to "lose" the game if any fool can "win" just by plodding slowly unchallenged). -bartle

And wet-dream escapades
Oh this summer is sweet sleep
Because we are living day dreams
It is hard to be disappointed by a beta delay... cause they happen frequently. UXO seems to be on time, and they have regular updates about their Jan 15 beta give away...10 days to go, and I hope my name is picked for the beta give away...
