100,000 Annual Pass Invites On Their Way

We appreciate that everyone who signed up for the Annual Pass is genuinely excited about seeing the new content and helping us test it for release. We definitely want to get all Annual Pass holders into the beta test as soon as humanly (and technologically) possible.

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.

So if my beta experience sucks... well there goes the game for good Cos getting shafted by company you've been loyal to for 7 years is not a good feeling.
    Beta should mostly be about bug reporting and helping Bliz make a finished game that is playable, rather than using it as a decition tool.

    100,000 invites, and only 97 of them will provide useful feedback to progress the beta :P

    Do you want the servers to crash and everything is delayed for weeks?

    I'm sure it will be a significantly higher number than 97, but you're right in the fact it wont be anywhere near the 100,000.

    100,000 annual passes are nothing since there been a crap ton of ppl who paid for it =/

    Just checked Battle.net Account page, got an invite. Active since June 2005. Did not receive an e-mail notifying me I got in. Good luck to everyone else who went for the Annual Pass. Though, I'm slightly disappointed as I don't get to play around with the Demo Warlock Tanking build from last week =(
