Final Beta Test Plans
03/01/2005
In preparation for the imminent Final Beta Test of World of Warcraft, we will be shutting down the Closed Beta servers for maintenance and temporarily suspending the official forums within the next few hours. We regret the short notice, but are doing our utmost to roll out the Final Beta Test as quickly as possible. The downtime between the close of the current Beta and the start of the Final Beta Test will be kept to a minimum, although we are unable to reveal an exact start date at this time. However, we anticipate that this maintenance will only last a few days, whereupon the Final Beta Test will begin.
We will provide initial access to the Final Beta to those who attained a beta key through the official Blizzard pre-order campaign, as well current Closed Beta testers. These testers will maintain their existing account and characters. Additional testers will be included as the Final Beta moves forward.
More details regarding the Final Beta, including the start date, will be announced here shortly, so please stay tuned. We are working hard to bring you the next exciting phase of World of Warcraft as soon as possible.

Well - the perspective of 2GB+ download isn't excatly thrilling, but I am looking forward to trying this game (esepcially since I apperntly weren't in first batch of Wish Beta 2)
perhaps I should alter my Internet connection to 1024/128 instead of my 512/256 just for this
My guess for when FB goes "live" would not be until the end of this week actually (friday at the earliest), but I do hope they open for download before servers go up again

Things are happening over at the official eurpoean web site. If you don't have the beta client yet make sure to download it now, before the beta starts!
