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.

    Got my invite, pretty much been having an active subscription since 2006, and got the annual pass one of the first days after it was available. Didn't get any mail, so check account pages on battle.net.

    Interesting.. do you know when in 2006? I've been subbed for 6+ years uninterrupted, just kind of curious if I really missed out by a few days or something. Then again I've heard people who say they were subbed since release (not sure if they're being truthful), that don't have a beta invite.

    Like I mentioned earlier. Subbed in Dec 2004, AP first second I could get it.

    Yet a guildie who started playing in CATA, and has the AP on like the second week got it??

    What happened to the "cumulative months subscribed/seniority" requirement Blizz stated?

    Have you guys been subscribed the entire time and has the AP been purchased on the same WoW license that was made in 2004? That's the only thing I can think of. It's not account start date, remember, it's cumulative months paid for.

    p.s. not saying you haven't, just asking.

    This. A guildie of mine got it today and has only been playing for 12 months. Me, Feb 2005. I wasn't that pissed off with the first wave, but I am starting to get pissed off now.

    There's nothing premium about it, if you know you'll play the next 12 months, it doesn't cost you anything extra than your monthly subscription cost.
