Hey, I was just wondering when does the Mists of Pandaria Beta start for the annual pass owners? because after seeing videos and trailers, I really exited to play this expansion and I just cant wait for the beta :D

If you could give me a rough guess to when it will be that would be a great help.

It is too far away to even give an estimated date.

Not even the Alpha is out/done yet. So NO ONE knows when the beta starts

use the search machine next time.

emm... I think you'll find that Alpha is finished, because they had it playable at Blizzcon

At Blizzcon all that was playable (from footage I've seen) was the pandaren start area. It could even be the alpha version people were playing - a good social test for the testing to see what people do and such - and all that needed to be removed was a bug reporting and such.

But I would say mid-January to end of May for alpha testing proper, and from May to October beta testing then game is released on 23 Nov 2012 so it coincides with the World of Warcraft franchise's eighth anniversary as well. If I am correct with the date Blizzard should give me a month free game time... (nah just kidding). :D

I would guess a release before next Christmass, with beta out in summer.

I do hope they don't push it out in the daylight too fast. I'm not too excited about getting another halfway-done thing, with enough bugs to qualify it as a beta instead of a release.

I hope you are all wrong. Another nearly 1 year patch?! 4.3 would be that long if MoP come out in october-december next year. I would like to see an early summer release date and a 3-4 month beta before that.
I don't want half done expansion of course, but 6 month is long enough for a content patch.

There giving us diablo 3, thats the ontended filler content sorry to say, also, there build a decent expansion hopefully that will trample all expansion previously heralded in by Blizzards reign of terror ( Im joking D: ) , well, what we can see is that they have to pick up the best from the past and conglomerate something from the shattered remenants of Azeroth worth paying 12 quid a month for xD: 'Da Oomkin

we have waited:
6 months for patch 4.1
2 months for patch 4.2
5 months for patch 4.3

now we will probably have to wait 6 months for 4.4 ( The starting of the big war:) ) so that could be somewhere in may. This patch will lead us into MoP.
Guess beta will start in may 2012 aswell and 5.0 will go live in october 2012.

Though this is based on the past, blizz promised us more and faster patches...
So we might be surprised by an earlier than expected, release.... but I don't think so :p

You download the Beta from your battle.net account page when it opens up for testing.
Same thing goes for Diablo 3 when it is released.
This only applies if you have "bought" the annual pass thing.

If you haven't gotten the Pass, the MoP beta is all about luck and Diablo 3 will have to be bought when it is released.

Beta will start on August/September, and the game will come out at December. Its my guess, I want it to be true. WHY ? Because I want MoP to be good rather than getting it early as bad expansion. Take your time blizzard and make a very good expansion :) On the meantime I will play less wow and other games more. Also Diablo 3 is coming soon :)
