You already knew you had to have an active account. If you weren't going to bother, why did you sign up for a key, potentially preventing someone else from getting one?

Woke up at 3am the morning after my first day at a new job and spending 2 hours finding my way home to see that Cataclysm author beta invites are going out then I

Thanks for once again offering this opportunity to participate in the beta! It's very appreciated.

The patching is taking forever though.. :)

Thank you Cairenn, I love you.

:banana:

I just wanted to try if it works without a sub. ;)
But I will get one today just for the beta. :D

How many different times and ways did we have to tell you that you needed an active account in order to use the key, though, is my point. :p

Ha!

Where do we download the client from?

When you enter the code on the b.net site, it gives you all the information you need to download.

I believe from the battle.net account page once you get your invite.

EDIT: I done got sniped!

Thank you for this Cairenn and everyone here on WOWI, you guys are freakin' awesome! I'll strive to keep my wittle minimap updated as well as continue to read my wow programming guide :) I'm still downloading as we speak...

Does means I should receive an email right now if my tracking number is 117?
My inbox's still empty. :eek:

As posted at the start of the thread:

No, click the 'sign up' again and thats where you get the beta key you enter in your bnet

edit - DAMN you're fast cairenn

I try. :)

Thanks for this, folks. I knew it would be coming, but I am still surprised it was this early!

OMG ... how blind can one be? :D

Thank you.

Definitely made my day a lot better after pushing my father's old vw cabriolet 5 kilometres whilst burning myself in the heat outside. :p

>.<
 

Cairenn, there are a whole lot of new addons suddenly being uploaded. I'm hoping that people aren't trying to abuse the system. I don't want to sound mean or rude; but it would be unfair for the people that have been around for quite some time. I was just hoping you noticed the sudden increase of newly uploaded (single) addons, and that your taking that into consideration.

As we do every time when we are giving away Beta keys. :)

But thank you for your concern. It's nice when others care about the community, too. :)

Ah thanks Cairenn! I was just alarmed at the suddenly increase of newly uploaded addons. Not to mention there have been updates to a few addons that haven't been worked on in almost half a year to years. I wasn't surprised that this occured only after the mention of the Cataclysm beta keys.

Thanks for all the wonderful work you do Cairenn. You have always been a great asset to this community. Not to mention we all you lol.

Why i cannot Click on Yellow link on ur Signature?

You have failed the test! :banana:

Lawl you fell for the test

*snickers*

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Um.... I think you answered your own question :banana:!

*hugs AlleyKat*

No... Never thought about it... Never ever ever...:rolleyes:

Don't worry AlleyKat. I failed it the first time I saw it too :) So it's all good.


P.S: I like pie. Everyone knows Pie > Cake. That is all.....

Although I heard Cairenn is a blasphemer and likes cake ;)

Cairenn likes many things. She tries not to be prejudiced. ;)

A lot of those addons are pretty good, even those who are just simple updates on old, broken addons. That's great, in my opinion. Even if they chose today because of the chance to get a beta key, we now have a bunch of new/resurrected addons :banana:

O and thanks, WoWI ppls, for this chance to get into the Beta. I spent like two days after getting WotLK just debugging my addon. Hopefully won't have to do that now :)

P.S.
lol... I did NOT try repeatedly to click that yellow link either :o

Yes Yes... as you much on cake on the side. I saw you! *chuckles*

/bow
/Monty Python accent on

I offer a wide variety of pies... or cakes... or those little pastries filled with fruit that have the fiddly little edges to them...

/Monty Python accent off

next batch is up! :banana:

Another 48 keys handed out. Tracking numbers #000151 - #000198

Harray!!!!!!!:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

Awesome. Thank you! :banana:

Out of interest... Why 48? (50 would have been more... even :D)

Thanks a lot for the key :):)

Cheers

We were down two keys, so only 48. Waiting to get another batch from Blizz.

Thank you very much! :banana:

How many beta invites are you planning or hoping to send out?

Oh, and thank you here at WoWI for all the great things you do for us. This is a great example of why I only come here for my addons. :)

Ahh ok.

Is character copying working for you guys?

EDIT: Does this requires WLK expansion?

Just got mine, thanks :D

/love
/kisses
/hugzzzz !

Edit: @jaliborc:
- Yes, it does require WotLK
- Character copying works fine, I just copied 3 characters to Mekkatorque (EU), and the transfer is reported as successfull.

I wonder how many new addons are comming

yessss
 

Can I have an invite if I send you guys 10$? >_>

Big hugs! wowinterface delivers time after time

Seems battle.net is down. I keep getting the maintenance page, which is on the us servers, yet I have an eu account.

??? lol. Two similar posts from two different people?

Managed to download the downloader. Now I'm getting this.

EDIT: Found out they are doing authentication maintenance: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...19535&sid=2000. So that prevents me from getting the client or is there another problem?

*quickly dives into a trench to avoid the SLEW of new addons randomly appearing*

Holy torpedo.... I've never seen these many new addons ever! In all my years of being in WOWInterface.com. The frontpage addon listing is actually scrolling faster then new addons are uploaded lol.

I seriously think the rules and or the description of the beta giveaways should be updated to reflect these considerations.

Might have been better to only give keys to existing authors.

Yeah they've been having some issues Mrruben. I'm sure things will be worked out. I suggest giving it a try in a few hours.

They are probably the same person. I see it all the time on other forums. People ask a stupid question and don't get an answer, so they register another account and ask the same question hoping to get noticed. (See, if they would ask the same question twice on the same account, *that* would be rude :rolleyes: (and often against forum policies))

That is what I would have done. (But then again, I am not as awsome as the WoWI staff :D)

Managed to get it running, dumped the downloader in a folder on my desktop.

Yea, there did seem to be some sort of problem just now. I've been downloading the Beta client patches for a few hours now, but the downloader has been crashing every now and than in the last hour.

In fact, now that I look at it, neither the Blizzard HTTP peer, nor the tracker itself, is responding. The downloader is running on just P2P at the moment. Seems the servers are down. :(

We will try to get as many keys as needed. :) Some of these addons are ones that were previously uploaded only to Curse. Others were people's private stash of addons (I know of plenty of people that write good addons but never shared them). Many of the new addons look great - I am going to be spending FOREVER wading through things next Sunday for the Pick of the Week! :p :eek: This is a GREAT thing!

And, as mentioned, we are going through uploads with a fine-tooth comb. If a user uploads something that isn't theirs, they get a ban. Period. If something looks -really- simple (like it was just someone's SetCVar() macro), it gets turned away (or they at least won't be eligible for a key with it).

I love having new addons :) Some people have good ideas. However, some of them are just soooo simple that you have to question why they uploaded it. :D Seerah you better drink lots of coffee if your going to review that many addons LOL.
