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.

    I will drink the tears of all those that get in at the end when the servers are full and being stress tested.

    They'll really need to open some more servers when they send more Beta invites, IMO.

    Still, the early practice quests in the Wandering Island were designed in a way that you could make progress even when multiple players are hitting the same target. I didn't have problems playing through those quests.
    Even if they have some many beta player they will probably keep a player lock on server without loosing the stability of server .

    Should be fine

    Haven't got an email yet but MoP PTR was added to my BNet account. Now downloading, at 12% of 17.9GB - so excited!

    I wonder if the long time us subscribers get the first invites because they had a head start or if blizzard takes this into account.
    But most likely not if we look at how the eu forums seem to be ignored most of the time.

    Is it possible to get a BetaKey from someone who doesn't want it?

    How long ago did it show up? Hoping to find out whether the waves still going or it's finished.

    Although this is good news, I don't see myself in the beta at all, to be honest. 3 guildies with up to 2 years younger accounts than I have got in.Mine is from April 05 and got the AP within 5 min of the announcement.After they announced the criteria for getting in, I feel kinda left out. So I don't hope for beta anymore. If I get it, it's a bonus, even when I have the AP.It's just my luck.

    Thanks for the quick answer

    PS: How did all these "youtube-guys" get their Key in the first round then? :O (i.e: Hydra, Swifty, Mercader, bunch of others...) Does that work via connections or ...?
