Blizzplanet reports the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria beta client was enabled at the Battle.net account page for press, fansites and a first wave of World of Warcraft Annual Pass subscribers.
The client can be downloaded, but connection drops after failing to find the installer's URL. A sign that Blizzard Entertainment continues to set all the pieces together to start beta within the next 24-48 hours.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Not for me (Annual Pass subscriber).
