You must just be the most casual player NA. Because anyone who tried to get one, got one in MOP
I've never gotten into a WoW beta. Got into diablo 3 and hearthstone though.
I'm sorry to hear that, OP. I was in the F&F alpha for Lich King, but only because at the time my brother knew a Blizzard employee (an ex-guildie of ours). That's just happenstance. Since then I have been very casual, so haven't even tried to participate in either alpha or beta testing of expansions.
Maybe you could hold your breath for the beta. It's still a wee bit away and they are very likely to have mass invites just to push the servers in preparation for release day. There is always an influx of player demographics in the first week of release of an expansion, so I can see them doing at least a handful of stress test weekends with invites being thrown out willy-nilly.
For the Alliance!
its alpha, pretty sure they're doing moreso known streamers + f/f + press type people arent they?
I got one of the first invites for Cata beta, Diablo 3 mid-late beta, Hearthstone first EU wave beta though I didn't get MoP (It required that Annual Pass but it didn't work for my country unfortunately)
Hoping for WoD as well perhaps...
Also too soon for invites now, it's only press/family and friends at the moment.
as much as i would like to get into a beta/alpha, i also wouldn't want to play it. im not great at finding bugs, i'd rather play the finished and less buggy game.
mostly because of cata, i watched so many beta videos of everything, every dungeon, every zone, everything, by the time the game released none of it was new to me, i had seen every dungeon boss, so i don't want that to happen again.
I got into Cata beta middle, very first round of invite for MoP. Truthfully, don't feel bad if you miss the first few rounds. The game is barely playable.
To not get bored for example of Cata, I did some testing but very little from what I would play on live not to hurt my enjoyment of the expansion.
Since I play Horde only, I instead tested Worgen starting zone + continued leveling it more since the world was revamped and somebody had to test that stuff too :P
So for WoD for example, could test the Alliance part or something.
I never got into an MoP beta and I was subbed and participated in contests. I'll still participate in contests for WoD beta keys.
P.S. been playing for 7 years and 10 months and I've never been invited to a beta.
Lock rocks, made to order.
Can I just point out that there's no point in whining about not being invited to the Friends and Family Alfa if you're not a FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER OF A BLIZZARD EMPLOYEE. So unless you know someone who really works in their places, don't whinge about not getting it yet, you'll get one when Blizz are good and ready to take it out of F&F Only which its in at the moment.
The reason to be in a Beta is so that you can test and give feedback, do people not realize that MoPs Beta invitations were stupid, wrong and Blizzard aren't taking that route again? It was simply a marketing tool so they could keep customers entertained.
Seriously, 75% of my Guild (that's like... 80 people) and practically ALL of my Real ID List (200?) got into MoP Beta and the only useful thing to come out of it was "Oh we can test raids now" which never happened because my guild were too lazy. I suspect it's the same for a lot of people, you're not interested in being in the Beta to benefit the game. You just want to play as soon as possible and that is not at all the point of the beta.
No BETA club since the game came out. Tried a few give aways and never got a key.
Got into SC wings and Hearthstone betas though
stop playing and you will get one most likely
I get all SC beta HS beta and even diablo RoS on inactive from near year account but in wow except Pandaria nothing
I never got a beta invite either for any expansion. I've been and on/off player since 05 as well, so you aren't the only one.
I did manage to get a Heroes beta invite in March though, so I've been playing that for the time being.
Welcome to the club.. I have played since Vanilla with 24/7 365 active subscription(minus 4 months), spent shit tons of money in character transfers etc etc stupid and all I have ever got was this Battle.net desktop application beta invite..
