That is an extremely long cbt, especially if they wipe after. PW is already a slow grind and most of us have played other versions so we already know the game mechanics pretty well. Idk about anyone else but I don't really want to spend a month leveling on cbt and then get wiped and have to do it all over again. Perhaps lower it down to ~2 weeks?

What do you guys thinK?

    It's not their fault you came from another PW;).

    12 hours and college? College is like 8 hours... And homework is like 2 more... So you, like, sleep for only 2 hours? Insane :eek:

    Some classes you can play through, and most of the time you can window mode and do homework at the same time

    Huh. Well, hopefully there's still 8 hours of sleep time in the picture... Don't put your health aside for the game.

    Huh. I imagine that'd be real convenient - I can't do it, I enjoy my sleep :D

    It's okay except for the fact when i do finally sleep i can feel a head ache and my dream state is a mess (pretty much like my awake state) and i can hear everyone/everything still, so when i do wake up i feel sick with a head ache.

    D: it's convenient, specially when I'm doing extensive research to back theories that i have up.
    Also it comes in handy for gaming.

    A month is a good time for CB, gives total new comers to PW a chance to see what it is about but also gives time for any hick ups to be iron out. I would gladly do a month of CB to make sure things are working well.

    My brain turns to hyper gear too when I lay down. However, I get tired again when I do anything else so I can't win - thus I end up sleeping >.>

    Well if you brain kicks into hyper gear when you lay down, why not try sleeping in comfortable chair?

    XD Funny post!!
    No but seriously, you need rest, i've known people that have had brain cut-offs from no rest.
    And again, it's closed beta for a month...and then is it open beta pretty much straight away?

    The purpose of CBT is to test for bugs so OBT will not be directly after. There will be like a 1-2 week or more downtime depending on the amount of bugs. That is why I suggested that they cut the cbt down by a bit. It's going to be near October before we can play the game ion obt.

    hehe... many years ago now, as an undergraduate i had 8 hrs / week lectures (optional) with once or twice a semester having to produce essays / studies for each part of the course (meaning 2 busy weeks / semester - non-optional)

    i used to think those 2 weeks were hard work...

    seriously i think all the bugs are all well known to PW China (and therefore PW Intl.)... bugging gouf / ironforge, WFs pulling ?zhang (fb29) through the door, shooting through walls, event bugs, shop item exploit... etc

    i expect CB will have more to do with server optimisation

    Bugs develop from the server, not the client itself. A game that works in a server in MY doesn't mean it will work correctly in a server in the US. That is where bugs develops. Why do you think the MY version had such a big delay for? Because a bug developed during the testing, even though it was the same as the CN version.

    Agreed.
