I was up late last night working on some unfinished business (which is code word for playing on Farmville 2) when I received an email from Blizzard.
The powers that be last night released the first wave of invites to the Beta Program for Warlords of Draenor. With many of the expansions before this was a hot ticket to get. Spawning many people selling their beta invites for both in game and real money.
But thankfully Blizzard changed how the they do invites where it is just a flip of the switch on someone's account to get into the beta program.
This unfortunately won't stop people from taking advantage of others in taking their accounts or their money. With any of the WOW beta programs the con artists and scams come out of the woodwork. So keep in mind that any site (other than the Blizzard site) that offers a beta key or access to the beta program if you send them your first born son is probably trying to steal your hard earned account.
At 2pm PST the gates to the beta server open up for the enjoyment of others. I'm planning on taking the dive onto the beta servers to get a glimpse of my gaming life for the next two years. Expecting an onslaught of players on the beta servers, there will be slowdowns and a lack of resources to pick up.
The other thing to keep in mind is to be entering the Beta servers with a plan. Many players will want to get up to the highest levels they can as fast as possible. Since from the start not all of content will be available, it will still be a race to get as many quests as possible.
I have a lot of interest in how garrisons will play out and their impact on the professions. Farming at Halfhill during WOW: Mists of Pandaria gave a good preview of a system to open up different areas through quests and gold. Garrisons and having a house of your own will be a big draw for not just your hard core player, but for the casual player who wants to show off their trophies and achievements.
The other interest I have as well is just how much of an effect, there will be on farming. Many players will be able to obtain the materials they want through their upgraded garrisons. This could cause a change in how many people are willing to pay for raw materials overall. Sending your personal gathering force to obtain needed items/materials for a crafted item instead of paying large amounts of gold could deeply change the market.
So strap on the snacks and the soda intravenously. Look at your email and see if you will be joining me on the beta servers.
Edit: There were some codes passed on through some of the different events that Blizzard had booths. This included PAX and some other events. Most of these codes were non transferable. Also 'official' connections such as WOWHEAD are offering codes in their contests. Just keep in mind that no one is selling codes. Keep an open eye on scams for codes in your email.
Good Luck and Good Beta Profit Hunting
