Good luck. They close it when they have enough people. So, hurry.

I think they did it this way, because otherwise the servers couldn't
handle the enormous access from the people. Possibly that maintenance
means that more servers are added.

Possibly I have just created my own account successfully. This evening,
otherwise tomorrow I will be able to test that account.

AFAIK, orc children are still there, though one can't target those,
except good lil' Pixel who gives quests.
I never could make it through Stormwind Guards so far (Horde here)

They're smart to use Bittorrent for downloading the client, though -
less load on their own servers. Though ATM I have a higher upload rate
than download...

Yes. I get the error page whenever I try to access the boards. Le sigh.

They also announced server maintenance for the evening. Why would you start
an open beta on Friday morning and schedule maintenance for Friday evening?

It's important to pick the right language version.

If any of our European friends gets on could you post and tell us
if the game still has school children following a teacher in
Stormwind? I'd like to know if Blizzard removed NPCs because of
some laws in Europe which would prohibit depicting voilence
against children (ala Fallout and JA2).

Yes. They are still there.

Can they get attacked?

in my experience, no children anywhere can be attacked. even in
contested zones on a pvp server.

Maybe not the kids but NPCs can be attacked by opposite faction
on any server (PvE or PvP). This is when I played at launch at
least.

I was just curious if WoW took steps to avoid it completely.
