It's an exciting time at Blizzard, and as we get ready for launch, we want to invite as many of you as possible to play the game for free before it launches. Note that we are offering the game on a first come, first served basis. If you want to play, please download the World of Warcraft client and create an account immediately. Once we have hit our target number of players in the open beta, we will close our account-creation pages and you will be unable to enter the open beta. So, hurry and begin the process. Azeroth awaits!
