MoP Beta live

[Jesung]

Going off of very basic maths here but the cata beta started 3 months later than this one on the 30th June, so having a rough estimate of the game being released 3 months earlier due to that, then we can expect it anywhere around September.

Also if you are an annual pass holder and know you are getting in at some point then you might want to download the client before hand as it is 17gb is size, so you dont want to get into the beta then wait a day or two to actually play it.

PC DOWNLOAD - http://eu.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net/downloads/wow-installers/4A4335AC/WoW-5.0.0-Beta-enGB-Installer.exe

MAC DOWNLOAD - http://eu.media.battle.net.edgesuite.net/downloads/wow-installers/4A4335AC/WoW-5.0.0-Beta-enGB-Installer.zip

You also have to rename the .exe to 'World of Warcraft Beta Setup.exe' or you get an error message

well in cata there was not so many "beta testers" because of the annual pass thingy. i dont think they are gonna launch a 6 month beta test whit over 1 million testers. i still say 2-3 months from today it will go alive.

Yeh but they don't immediately go from beta to live, they have 1-2 months in between so they can fix any of the last minute bugs. But as you said they never have had this many testers so the test could be over rather quickly compared to previous beta's.

Im with this guy. 2 months of beta. Maybe 3, but ... unlikely.

***CAREFUL WITH THOSE DOWNLOADS***

Downloaded them, Sophos went berserk right away, detecting a Mal/GamePSW-C threat. As per this link:

http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Mal~GamePSW-C.aspx

Looks like a password snatcher.
I cleaned up the installer, which seemed to remove the virus leaving the file intact, but I'm not taking chances. I wouldn't go with it and wait for Blizzard's activation to get the client from their own website.

From what I can gather Sophos is the only anti virus software that picks it up as a virus so it could be a false positive, but as torgen said be careful obviously.

Sophos is rather sensitive to a lot, yes, including false positives (I experience this with cracked software a lot), but usually that's a Mal/Packer type virus. Something that says Mal/GamePSW-C.... sounds rather fishy (in more than one way).

Also all of the links on the launcher lead to real blizz sites to take that as what you will.

Also its an extremely good copy of a launcher that no one knew about until this morning and this has been available to DL since then

Well I'm not saying the file itself is bad, that originates from the official Bnet website. It's just copied by someone and put up on an external website so folks without a beta invite can still get the installation. Just saying that it's infected, intended or not. :-)

The only thing in that link that threw me was the edgesuite.net part and after a bit of looking around that is the domain that Blizz host there files from Other than that it looks legit, also you could just wait until you get the email and download it then

I think I'll happily wait for the official download, no point rushing into anything as you can't go anywhere with it yet.

I would do the same if i had the speed required to download 17gb reasonably fast, I just don't Not everyone has BT infinity/Virgin 50mb
