100,000 Annual Pass Invites On Their Way

Damn you... I wish I could play D3 beta. At least I have an idea about how WoW will be played at MoP. D3 I got none.

Woot! I'm 100% sure my invite will be among the first 100k.

I feel a lot better with a response at last. 100k is a generous amount for a wave. I'm not sure if I will be in wave 1 but damn sure the 2nd or 3rd wave will be mine.

I probably won't be one of those 100,000 but it's nice to know that they're sending out another wave.

Ohmagoodness I like your avatar.

On topic: I didnt buy an annual pass, but now I kind of wish I had!

I got an MoP beta invite after just checking onto my battle.net account page and transferred over a premade character to test.

Never received an e-mail though.

Nice!! Got my invite.

Chaud, can you add this as an update as well?

Ok, so the people that say they are in but have not signed up for the AP (or just signed up recently) are trolling? Just wanted a confirmation on this, because I have seen posts saying otherwise.

If someone is in the beta it is because:

-They're press or work on an official fansite
-Are friends/family of a Blizzard employee
-Bought the Dell laptop that comes with beta invites
-Purchased the Annual Pass

There have been no opt-in invites.

Anyways you can tell us what all you look for when you Invite? Besides How old account is and when we purchased AP?

Annual Pass is a guaranteed entry, there is no consideration made beyond cumulative subscription time and when the Annual Pass was purchased.

I'm excited to get into the beta but I'm not one of the people complaining that I didn't get in first wave. However, I think it is about damn time that Blizzard released an official statement about their plans. They haven't said anything for over a week which has only made the situation worse. At least by saying this people know what the plan is and I think we will see a reduction in all the "Where's my beta" threads. Of course there will be some but that's because impatient people are impatient.

I'd care more if blizzard had invited me to any of their betas but they never have so they clearly hate me and I'm sure I won't be in those 100k. /sigh

I'd like to thank Blizzard for the opportunity to keep 1,000,000+ players awake tonight checking their battle.net accounts...

I'd be angrier if I wasn't so excited about this + the fact that they're apparently using cumulative active time!!!

how many people are there with annual pass total? I don't think these 100k are a big part of them

I started in June of 05 with no hiccups and still no invite for me for any of the beta's this game has had. It's ok, my time will come soon enough

I do believe this is about 10%.

With 55 months of service, I'm hoping to get in. :x! No invite yet!

Just checked my account history. Got about 5,5 years worth of subscription. Let's hope that's enough for the 100k

Frantically F5'ing? YES!

crosses fingers...lets go.

Damn it.... Just broke my F5 key...
