This means BC is nearer! :biggrin: :yahoo: :biggrin:
lets hope its not too bug laden so that theres a decent bit of software at the shelves before xmas :smile:
With the BC Beta we will have LOT more infos, movies and pictures about the exp pack, in fact Blizzard stated:
Quote from: Drysc @ US BoardsThere is no non-disclosure agreement (NDA) active for the closed beta. Information may flow freely, watch for slippery surfaces.
they already closed a site down that was checking stuff from the alpha client...
If you are talking about WoWExposed that was before the NDA was lifetd and so subject to restrictions from Blizzard.
I've read some news on the officiel wow forums. And I must admit, as it seems, the closed BETA has been up for about a month now.
There's a warlock doing Q&A's and from the sound of it, he's been playing for about a month. (im pretty sure he mentions it somewhere on the 14+ pages of posts) It not untill a few days ago beta testers were allowed to talk about the beta. NDA or what it's called has been liftet.
Reading the dedicated Beta forum, it seems they've had an alpha up and running for about six weeks.
If I remember correctly all the games I beta tested (Ultima Online, Anarchy Online, Eve and Star Wars: G) went gold after about 3-4 of the beta being released.
So hopefully the same kind of time line will keep us on for a November release date.
Actually with regards to AO it was about 2 weeks after the beta, although as it turned out that wasn't a good thing.
