you can sign up on fileplanet, or probably the main wow site, but it is so slow I cannot access the site.
Anyway, I would suggest you use the Fileplanet downloaded, as the blizzard one is total shit.
Enjoy., and anyone wanting a guild or a group of friends, join Horde, Test 6 server.

This explains why I am not able to acces this goddam site for about an hour.
I do not think this will change soon. Damm, I really wanted to now if there were any news on the clusterfuck of US-Versions + Gametimecodes which will be avaible in germany shortly after the US-Release.
Anyone who could enlighten me how exactly Blizzard will keep me from playing on Us-Servers/participating in the open Beta ?
Do they check the "Billing"Adress for Open Beta ? Scan where I am located ?
Do they do it during registration or when I want to connect to the Game Server ?
Oh, because I am still bored ? Anyone who managed to register 2 times ? Because I would find such a key handy, if only for the purpose of finding out where exactly I will get blocked after release ?

Right now it looks like you'd be lucky to register one time. The site has laid more eggs than a fucking chicken factory.

Not sure if I understood the "egg" reference, but I noticed that fileplanet too is a bit busy

Laying an egg... i.e. sucking the big one. Rolling over tits up. Kaputsky. Pusing up daises.

Fileplanet destroyed. Total victory I bet they made more money during these few hours than they make in a year. Still if Blizzard's servers can't handle downloads why do they think they can handle people playing? I remember B.net Diablo2 was lagy as hell first few months, WoW probably will suffer the same fate. |

How? When I checked a few days ago it was looping me Today is not a few days ago. It just opened up today. In theory, anyway. In practice, not so much. Also curious is the 'open beta keys are first come, first served' verbiage. Perhaps the open beta is not so open as you'd think. What's the over/under on a DAoC-style launch vs AO-style launch? |

Hopefully Blizzard will learn from this and this clusterfuck won't repeat day 1 of live.

A few days ago, was the stress test which you did need to pay for. This is open beta today, which is free. There will be more open beta keys, watch www.worldofwarcraft.com if you are still looking for one. |

Hopefully Blizzard will learn from this and this clusterfuck won't repeat day 1 of live. Well, it depends on whether they offer the game for download on day 1. Theoretically, the majority of the playerbase will get the 2GB off the DVD/CD's and not via download. |

Just looked. Fileplanet indicates that they are all gone. Expect another batch once Blizzard gets back on their feet (or the server fires are extinguished).
Probably tomorrow. With all the rabid b.net kiddies be prepared to check early and check often. F5 is your friend.

Just looked. Fileplanet indicates that they are all gone. It did that before too, and then it started working again. Not sure if they found some more keys or if it was a mistake. |

Blizzard/Fileplanet should embrace the torrent. I cannot even imagine the peak throughput they get trying to deliver a 2gig file to a hundred thousand catasses simultaneously.

They must have a hell of a pipe because there are at least 500 dl's going and I'm pulling 240KB/s (note capital B).

I got a key and was waiting in line with the fileplanet downloader but it aborted with a network error and now every server I try to connect to gives me a network error instantly when I try to connect. Are others having that problem?
