We have some information to share regarding the beta codes received by those who attended the 2008 Worldwide Invitational or the 2007 BlizzCon. These codes are going to be used for the Wrath of the Lich King beta test.

If you do have a beta code from one of these events, we urge you to register it immediately and without delay. Full details on how to register your code can be found at the following page:

Q u o t e:
What if we do not use the code, will it be usable for other beta's?


Well we haven't said you can, and you may detect more than just a hint of prompting in the wording we used. We continue to advise you to register the code without delay; I'd hate to see you missing out on using the key.

Q u o t e:
Blizzard Poster; with all due respect, I don't think it is fair to lace your statements with so much ambiguity - you have to remember that English is not everyone's primary language and that you; a representative of the company should really endeavor to communicate with clear and concise language.


We were advised to inform that the registration requires urgency. When we have more clear and specific information, we'll post it up.

No, it's not anymore. If you clear the cache you will see that this forum is not listed anymore!


It appears there might be issues with some stickied messages. A similar issue occurred with a sticked thread in the WotLK forum by MVP Schwick. I've unstickied the message, and stickied it again. Can you see it now? :-) We're attempting a forum restart to prevent this from re-occurring.

Q u o t e:
yeap, works fine now.

But still no answer for me. I hope you understand my frustration though :S


Absolutely we do. We're trying to find information on both the "Beta Code Already Claimed" message and the no confirmation email issue. We'll post as soon as we are able to help with this.

Depends on the issue I guess. The issue I mentioned, goes to the email address I posted. Your email seems to list other possible issues, which would be more fitting for that email address.

There would be less confusions if Wryxian wrote the first message as follows


We could and did only provide what information we were able to.

Q u o t e:
Until then, it would be nice with a blue response on whether or not this is the intention.


We're not commenting on information from fansites. However, when we do have some official information to post regarding this, we will do so I assure you. In the meantime we appreciate your continued patience and understanding.

Q u o t e:
Wryxian, is there any information regarding my question earlier? Are there coming other batches of invites for people who didn't get one yet because they signed up yesterday (due an error on the site)?

Thanks for replying in advance :)


We hope to share some updated news on this particular issue as soon as we are able to.
