closed beta invites

. . . are being sent out to the leaders of various high-end guilds. If you are such a guild leader, you might want to check the the email address you registered with Blizzard.

Yeah, a couple of people in our guild got that mail this evening.

Gauss · 09/26/06, 12:59 AM

Haven't heard of anyone in the guild getting such a message. Even if we did get one though, doubt we'd participate since Kel'Thuzad is sort of higher priority :p

What I'm most curious is when the speed leveling / blizzcon beta invites will be going out.

So this is the actual beta invite and not just the 'We're going to be inviting you' mail?

Oooooh, nice. Soon I'll get my grubby paws on those keys.

Picking 25 already is making me a little emo.
Anyone have a good suggestion on how to do it?

Mosh · 09/26/06, 1:40 AM

For the sake of the game I hope Gurgthock gets in.
For the sake of my mental health, I hope I get in.

@Edgewalker: I was in a similar situation with the original beta back in the day. Pick some 10-20 active people, and have some way to make the last ones be chosen randomly, so everyone feels they had a shot.

It involves a paypal account.

If we use 25 Beta Invites I can see our raiding collapse as people forget there are live servers to play on.

Sebudai · 09/26/06, 1:47 AM

I'll probably hand ours out based on seniority/attendance. We only have like 45 active raiders anyways.

yeah, it should be at least 30. If they want people to test their 25man instances they should let us bring in a larger pool to ensure a guild can go on a typical night without attendance issues

Not to mention most guilds have over 25 active players, I expect this to cause alot of resentment with people because it basically goes to the leader choosing (which is a really shitty thing to do to a leader as well) and if someone doesn't get picked, that can be devastating.

im scared

I plan to have people share accounts. We all have each others account info anyways :p The problem is going to be splitting time between Naxx and Beta.
