100,000 Annual Pass Invites On Their Way
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
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.

    Holy of Unholies! I thought I'd never get it this wave, been waiting 2 days in a row and when I finally lost all hope, BAM I got the invite at the Battle.net page. I'm EU, been playing since 2005.Also as soon as I launched the game I got the choice between WoW1 and WoW2 don't know what that means, maybe PTR vs MoP?

    Update to my earlier post in this thread. Within the last 5 hours (1800 to 2300 UK Time (UTC+1)) the MoP beta has been applied to my (EU) account.
    Active since June 2006. Signed up for AP whilst it was being announced at Blizzcon.

    My fiancees account, also signed up for AP at the same moment, is from around 2008 iirc and does NOT have MoP beta at this time.

    So if I'm in this 100k wave it's taken about 24 hours to hit me. Or they've let a few more in.

If you're feeling left out and like you're "missing" something, ask yourself how many actual bug reports would you be sending, really.
    Doesn't matter, they said it came with the AP. They are failing a lot of people right now.

    They didn't have an annual pass before MoP. There was no guarantee you would get in beta. You just opted in and had a chance to get in. This isn't even close to the same.

    I think that's a comfort package for those who did not get in this wave.
    To be honest, it was kinda comforting lol

    Check your battle.net accounts. I got in in the past 10 minutes, I've been refreshing my battle.net all day. I didn't even get an email. I've been a member since 2007 but I've taken time off when wow got boring.

    We’re off to a solid start with the beta test, and things are looking good in terms of realm stability, so we’re ready to invite another wave of Annual Pass holders. A second wave of invites is going out to 100,000 more Annual Pass holders today, starting right now.

    I played it today, and i must say that im very dissapointed by it that i think i will not even buy the game. The game looks like you playing a game for small kids of 7 years that learn how to use a computer, and for sure dont look like any serious game that is out on the market. I think that after playing the beta i will not but it and im 99% sure that this is the last expansion of WoW, after this WoW will turn into free to play with some pay for extra things fee. This is the end of WoW as we know it, sad but true. Good bye from 7 years long loyal player of what USED to be a good game.
