The invites started earlier today and are still being sent. It will take at least a few more hours to finish, and then tomorrow morning we'll see if there were any that bounced back and resend those, as well as email alerting people to them being invited. Inviting 100k takes a long time. :)

Cool, but have all accounts already been flagged in battle.net? (Since you can usually see the game in your account Before you ever get an email.)

thank you very much!

I'm glad to see that 100k invites went out and so soon too! Grats to everyone who's received their invite thus far!

So you doing how many an hour, should we just check at the top of each hour or is it just slowly rolling them out... /confused.

Those would most likely be Fansite groups, WoWhead admins like Ashelia, or People like Oxhorn.

I just want a D3 Beta Invite lol

BASHIOK don't forget to flag my account, kths! <3

Is this purely on when you started playing?

I thought I saw a post that said it will combine your start date and the day you signed up for the Annual Pass.Another question - you guys had to have seen the rush to sign up for the Pass once you announced it (we mainly signed up for Beta Access since there was nothing in Cataclysm to keep us playing) - how is it you all weren't prepared for a mass invite? You could have set a date to sign up until to get an automatic invite. I fear that this 1 Million + Pass holders are going to have to wait a long time before we see action in Pandaria....a long enough time to make us very agitated.

I like turtles?

Nice I thank you so much Bashiok for the input. It's exactly what we needed was an update overall it will calm much of the fuss...

And you have got my hopes up...lets hope it's not for nothing...

beyond cumulative subscription time

Just clarifying for people.

Everyone is speculating their invites on when they "FIRST MADE THEIR ACCOUNT", as said above it is your ACCUMULATIVE subscription amount.

Meaning how many MONTHS you've paid for this game.

Thank you so much for communicating this, I think the silence is what made some of us a little uneasy.

Cheers!

Now that I won't be able to sleep tonight, I guess I can progress in Mass Effect until I either pass out, or I receive an invite.

Annual Pass is a guaranteed entry, there is no consideration made beyond cumulative subscription time and when the Annual Pass was purchased.

but does getting D3 beta earlier effect our chance at THIS wave?
