        Check your junk mail folders, mine had been junked, and Blizzard have seemingly tried the hardest they possibly could to make even the real email look as much like spam as possible.

        It took Peter and I 5 minutes of poking to make sure it wasn't some kind of scam...

          I check my junk daily to no such avail. Ah well, I can focus on making Marlen more uber whilst you're wasting your time previewing content that you'll have to play again in the real release :p

          I'm maximising my knowledge of Northrend to capitalise on streamlined speed levelling come the real release ;-)

          Oh and to take some sweet screenshots :-)

          Think I might take a week off work when Wrath is released.

          Really should try and level another character before then too

          Taking a week off is tempting... And it'll be in the new holiday year.

          Indeed. We should do it all together if we can, and level as a big group.

          Havign seen the BC release though, i'd be tempted to go for the week *after* the game release ;) Not the week *of* the game release. Week of the server will prob be down 6 or so hours a day.

          Mal: Define interesting...

      As an update, so far as part of the Wrath beta I have :-

      - Downloaded 2.04 gb of Wrath Client
      - Downloaded 1 gb of 3.0.1.8820 patch
      - Furthest log in took me to the realm selection screen, whereby the realm was offline. (Ignoring the fact I'd been stuck at "Authenticating" for every preceding log on attempt)
      - Downloaded 537 mb of 3.0.2.8885 patch

      I find it amusing the rolled out the new wave of beta invites without a working realm for them (me!) to log on to. Some people have been surmising that whilst the US beta testers are working on ironing out bugs in the game, us in the EU are simply working on stress testing the server since there is only one EU realm :-)

      I found this quote from the Blizz forums amusing :-
      -----
      Dear Blizzard,

      Thank you very much for selecting me for WoTLK Beta Test. Hereby I'd like to submit some feedback of the game:
      - the launcher works great, looks great, is stable - no errors noticed
      - the login screen looks great, dragon got his textures - no errors
      - login messages are displayed correctly, no glitches. I tested them many times, believe me they work like a charm. Even the "You have been disconnected from the server" message looks great. Stress tests of this last message showed no errors whatsoever.

      Now, can I please start testing some more? Like character selection screen? (I don't even dream of testing loading screen...)

      Sincerely yours,

      Shadeshroud

        Makes sense actually using EU as stress testing

      Managed to finally get in and have a bit of a play, I was going to hold off on creating a Death Knight but in the end I couldn't resist it. So here are a few little pictures of my experiences so far, nothing overly spoilerish really. If anyone has problems with me posting random pictures every so often due to spoiler concerns let me know and I'll make sure I highlight things as containing Wrath info!
