The World of Warcraft and Open Beta Account Creation sites are temporarily down. We are experiencing technical difficulties on our end and are working diligently to restore service to this site. We apologize for any inconvenience this is causing you. We do not currently have an estimated time for when the World of Warcraft Web site will be back up, but we are working extremely hard to solve these technical difficulties as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

UPDATE!
November 8, 2004
World of Warcraft Open Beta Client Now Available!
The World of Warcraft community site and the open beta account-creation pages are currently unavailable. We are experiencing technical difficulties on our end and are working diligently to restore service to this site.
For those who would like to get a head start on downloading the open beta client, we now have it available for you here:
For PC: http://www.battle.net/downloads/WoW-...oader-enUS.exe
For Mac: http://www.battle.net/downloads/WoW_...Downloader.dmg
Please keep in mind the following important points:
* You can download the open beta client, but playing in the World of Warcraft open beta test requires that you create an open beta account using the account-creation pages on WorldofWarcraft.com. These pages are currently offline, but we are working hard to bring them back up as soon as possible.
* Access to the open beta test will be limited based on server capacity, so if more people download the open beta client than can be supported by the open beta servers, some people might not get the opportunity to play.
When the website comes back up, we will be able to provide the open beta account-creation pages so that people can create open beta accounts and start playing if they’ve downloaded the open beta client (or download the client if they haven’t done so already). We do not currently have an estimated time for when the site will come back up, but we are working extremely hard to solve these technical difficulties as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime. For those interested in learning more about the World of Warcraft open beta test, please review the open beta FAQ.
Please note that until the World of Warcraft website has been restored, any further World of Warcraft updates will be posted on our www.Battle.net website.

I got that but I'll have to leave my computer on all night and probably all day for it to download it. I hope that this is a good game for the file having to be that big right off the bat. I just hope I get it quickly!
Actually maybe not, just saw router thing and fixed that and firewall, so it should be a bit faster.

actually all beta testers are using a generic key. it's just the servers that are getting hammered.

fastest way would be fileplanet due that you can stop and resume the upload with their donwloader and I believe it can go faster than the bittorent client of blizzard.
But more secure its the bittorrent client but im not aware if you can have the ports it need open.
Just cap your upload with the program I suggested above.
What you can do with the bittorent client its copy the contents you downloaded to another pc and start the client again in that machine on the same directory it will pick up were it left.... | |
