7 years of wow, and I hate the fucking game, Glad I was able to quitThis is far more than a "stress test" or an "open beta". Blizzard is a cruel junkie, letting people "sample" just enough of their product to get hooked; when they come crawling back for more, Blizzard will be more than happy to provide... at a price.
Blizzard, you magnificent bastards, I read your book!
Don't say that on v, they would flip their shit.I eventually got to play due to the servers being busy, i like this, Big Time.
Graphics are very good, very detailed, controls are responsive and the game overall feels just right, a definate purchase for me.
They also give you MoP beta, so you have something to play while you wait 8 months for something to do in WoW.Apparently if you get a year subscription to WoW or something you get Diablo III for free too.
So you'll probably commit suicide trying to decide which game to waste the next thousand hours of your life on.
I think Blizzard is responsible for the most video game related deaths.

Considering server side games are generally beta tested in large quantities of players in order to ensure consistent connection and a launch day uptime of at least 24 hours before having down time to do bug fixes and whatnot, it's not like they can give away the entire game in a beta setting because that costs money to host the data on their servers and puts more strain on the system with people trying to constantly download it and play through it. Also, they have to bug test the entire game to ensure it works on day one. They need people to "sample" the game in order to ensure their servers work properly, otherwise you are going to have millions of pissed off customers on day 1. So the sample makes a whole lot of sense, it's not some scheming marketing trick. If they want to sell the game, they aren't going to offer customers the chance to play the entire thing in beta, otherwise there would be spoilers galore and no one would want to actually buy it. Every part of the game outside the first main quest is tested in house, they are not obligated to give away the entire game while it's in beta.

True story. Blizzard has even started printing that on their business cards.
