Yep, I hopped in CoH when it was finished in the since I'm talking about, so was FFXI when I got it.  I'll check up with WoW every few months to see where it is because it hase lots of potential to be a great MMO.

I'd have to read through it again to be sure, but it looks like the Final Stress Test for World of Warcraft is only for FilePlanet subscribers and closed beta folks. The actually open beta should be following fairly soon though.

Alright. Now it's official. Blizzard posted on their own site that the release date is November 23rd. Spriggan's information was right after all.  ::)

Well Blizz announced that WoW will be $15 a month (well 14.99)!  That's pricey for a monthly payment and just furthers my theory (which I never posted but started to type up) about the philosphy of MMOPRGS and how theyre  all wayse realesed unfinished, kinda of "we;re sick of paying to develop this game, so if you want it to ever want us to finish it you have to pay our monthly salerys".  Of course this puts me off even more to WoW, and now there's no way I'm ever going to buy it until after the price drops below $10, which isn't going to happen for quite some time.

If it makes you feel better, Sprig, I wasn't doubting you specifically. I was doubting all rumors from any source since all rumors from any source to that date had proved incorrect.  ;D

New information about racial traits is in. You should see the simultaneous whining and praising in the beta forums. Personally, I think that Blizzard did a great job, and the Shadowmeld I've been waiting for is here! Whee!

It's about time, most of those are very nice though I see a lot of people will be complaneing about the Gnome's excape artist and the Tauren Warstomp.

The Open Beta has started, and in the notes it says that Plains running has been removed in favor of a Kodo riding beast for Tauren. That's way cool--now I want to be a Tauren.

I'm dissapointed in it, plainsrunning was one of the few unique things about WoW and Tauren.  It was just bugged so Blizz took the easy route and gave them a mount, it's sad WoW is so much a EQ clone now even lots of the fanboys on their forums are saying they're not going to buy it.  You'd think after 5 years MMOPRGS would actualy evolve from that format, it just proves that MMORPG developers are in it for the money not actualy trying to make a unique game.

If anyone else plays, I'm on server 8. NE Huntress named Atriel. Look me up.

Just because plainsrunning is unique doesn't really make it cool--I always thought it was sad that they didn't get a mount, and assumed that it was just because some lazy coders/artists didn't want to bother making them one. So I actually have the exact opposite opinion that you do regarding the Tauren mount.

Server 8? I'll look you up. I'll probably be undead, but I'll make a dwarf or something too.

Yeah. I'm currently running around ironforge. And taking great delight out of shooting leper gnomes, and having my bear (named Nyarlothep, of course) EAT THEM ALIVE.

I also have a range of undead, human, dwarf, and orc characters, but Atriel is the one i'm sticking with. :) We could even meet up if you were undead, but i'd have to kill you.
