    Exactly. It was totally clarified in the first question on the stream, about why they called it alpha etc.... and why they are changing the name to beta.

    Discussion should be over.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    I haven't received one yet. Has anyone else today? Perhaps they will begin the invites later today instead.
    If it's a huge wave like he said it will be between 10-100k invites, so expect them to go out staggered and some might arrive late just like in WoD where some ppl were selected on the first wave but got their account flagged like a few days after the e-mail lol.

    Another question.

    Do you have to be subbed to get a beta invite?

    There is no longer any doubt about what happened, yet people keep on insisting that Blizzard lied etc etc rubbish rubbish etc.

    No. Some people in alpha haven't played in literal years.

    It's hilarious how you're literally cutting out every bit of text where I'm giving you facts/explanations.

    LOL - people can see the file name, the log in screen, the presence of external testers, the long programming feature complete status - they are all REALITY.

    The only delusional people here are those ignoring the evidence.

    Now there is further evidence, Blizzard has just come out with WHY the beta was called alpha.

    I'm hoping it's random. Many players aren't subscribed and won't be until the pre patch drops.

    I'm only cutting out irrelevant or incorrect stuff.

    Also just be safe, never click any links in what can appear to be a beta invite. I don't know if they will flag accounts ot give out codes. In case of flagging emails can and will be late so it's usually a good thing to check your account summary.

    Really excited, and hopeful. Legion needs to be good.

    But it's not though. Choosing to ignore it because you think it's "irrelevant or incorrect" (when it's not, because you can go look stages of game development and what they mean) is called delusion.

    Ion admitted on the stream they did break the promise as beta wasn't ready to launch and they couldn't call it a beta given how incomplete it was.

    Well judging from your 700 something posts you do look like 12 so hey, you might be 12 ( would explain why it is impossible to have a normal discussion with you and you just reply to shit with '' lul that's a good one mate, ExDee hur hur hur '' )
    nice geography bro (jk u suck at it)

    In-game as well. I've had a few friends lose everything on their accounts due to falling for phishing schemes. The safest route is to check your account summary by logging into the battle.net website.
