I didn't get signed up in time for the beta and have been trying to find a way in ever since since I'm really looking forward to the game and love beta testing (have beta tested most of the EverQuest stuff, some games for Microsoft, Windows XP, etc.).

Anyway, I was wondering if (1) there was still any chance of getting into the US beta and (2) if there was any hope of an American getting into the European beta if 1 is not possible.

Anybody know the answers to this?

Thanks!

With the exception of open beta there is no legal way,

The European beta is for Europeans only, so your best bet would be to wait for the Open Beta.

Is open beta not likely to last only about 1 or 2 weeks though? but yeah, I'm not even confident I'll make it in europe beta.

1. I would think they'll want more testers - a lot of stuff needs to be tested.
2. No chance at all via regular methods.

I'd think it'll last a month, maybe a bit less

Oh, check out the numerous World of Warcraft fan sites. Many are continuously running contents/raffles for US World of Warcraft beta keys.
