100,000 Annual Pass Invites On Their Way

To do so, we need to make sure that our new systems remain stable as we add players. If we let everyone in at the exact same time, we risk damaging the stability of the service, and then no one would be able to play. We can’t let everyone in at the same time; however, all Annual Pass holders will be invited before any opt-ins.

We’re in the process of sending 100,000 invites to Annual Pass holders, and we recommend keeping an eye on your email and Battle.net account for an invite to come explore Pandaria.

Rest assured that we WILL get all of our Annual Pass holders into the beta test. Thank you for the passion and support you’ve shown for the game, and please be patient with us as we continue driving hard toward finishing up Mists of Pandaria and getting it into your hands as quickly as possible.

    "however, all Annual Pass holders will be invited before any opt-ins"

    If we rely on all the "we've been scammed" conspiracy theory advocates, AP were to be invited a week before launch (their words, not mine). If the above is true, then it means that opt-ins will never be invited.

    Damnit, Blizzard now screwed opt-ins!


    And yes, the above was sarcasm, although I wouldn't be surprised to see anything along these lines.

    Been subbed since 04 and got the annual pass on day 1. No invite.

    Got mine.

    I did not recieve an e-mail, had to logon battle.net to see it. I guess I might have gotten it earlier, it's been like 3 days since I last checked. I did take part of the Cataclysm beta, and made very sure I gave a lot of feedback, hoping it'd get me a quick invite for next beta. Of course it's impossible to know if that had any part of it.

    I gotta hold off on playing until wednesday though, finish up a bunch of important schoolwork. After that I'm gonna go hardcore Monk leveling.

    From reading many posts here I still have wonders though....they have over 1 million players.....US, EU and KR realms....2 realms are US-1 is PVP, the other PVE....EU has 1 realm....and KR has 1 realm....now bear with me a moment.....they expect to cram and stuff onto EU realm all the players from EU....then they expect to stuff all the US folks onto 2 realms...many players are going to opt for a PVE realm vs a PVP realm....so now you got possible a majority of players that are US playing on a very over stuffed PVE realm and less folks on a PVP realm...so if they stick with only these 4 realms that are showing up right now....I take it that the US PVE realm is going to just keep being over crowded as weeks go by and more players are added based on their amount of paid time they have...so your all ok with this 1 realm being jammed up so much that is may keep crashing...these players that opt for the US PVE to have to wait hours and hours to log to play their beta....it still amazes me how they will pull this off over the course of time.

    "We’re in the process of sending 100,000 invites to Annual Pass holders, and we recommend keeping an eye on your email and Battle.net account for an invite to come explore Pandaria" - From Blizzard 18 minutes ago, so they're still doing the invites.
