So who's in the beta?

[aka.superglue]

Hey guys. I don't know if this has already been covered somewhere else but is there a set day of the week that thay throw out the new wave of invites?

[KysenMurrin]

They throw them out when they fell like it, but so far it's all been Thursdays and Fridays.

[Kelaan]

I'm in! Well, I'm downloading the installer. Should I try to character transfer someone, or should I start something from scratch?

I may start something from scratch.

[Pizbit]

Finally switched over to unlimited internet and now I can download the beta!
Names soon

I'm in... created a new panda monk.. named Pandaleona (my daughter wanted to see a female panda)..

I went horde though.. FOR THE HORDE!

So far first impressions were good, other than trying to complete one of the quests with hundreds of pandas in the way of a tiny click it was all good..

I'm out to Org and level 17, got to do my first dungeon which was RFC, looks nice with new bosses and trash..

Another wave of 250k apparently going out, but no "I'M IN, I'M IN" celebrations in the usual channels yet...

[Nooska]

Had access since the first wave of 250k invites, still waiting for premades on EU - for some reason I wasn't allowed to chose my US trial account (made during wrath beta) to copy premades "from" when I first went there.

Currently I'm on mekkatorque on a panda named Newska(created 15 minutes ago when I got tired of waiting and wondered if they were pending a namechange on the server), if my premades don't go through soon I might retry getting ones on my US trial.

I'm in the beta! Oh, wait, I'm in the Diablo III beta.

WTF kind of sick joke is this? I didn't even opt in for D3 beta. I doubt I'll even bother downloading the beta client, since I already pre-downloaded the encrypted retail release. I guess it depends how bored I get over the weekend, but I'm really not interested in testing it and would only be there to check out the AH for potential money-making strategies.

just got my beta invite - left it downloading at home.

not sure what server to join however.

[benebarba]

anyone keeping track of the numbers? From what I recall it seems like they're like 50-75% of the AP holders (I recall 1 million being mentioned as the total)?

edit:

cancel that: the big batches add up to 350,000 so far. Not sure how many went out before the big 100,000 announcement.

[KysenMurrin]

They did 300,000 in two days the first time (100,000 on Thursday, announced another 100,000 on the Friday, then said they'd upped it by yet another 100,000 in the same day), and since then have had two 250,000 batches.

The total so far is 800,000 plus whoever got in on day 1.

I imagine that the queue for Lost isles has gone thru the roof, right?
