"The Second Phase Starts Now! 29/01/2005Blizzard Europe is proud to announce the start of the second phase of the Final Beta Test. We are now adding more players into the game based on current registrations. Everyone that has been able to create an account for the second phase of the beta may now log in and start enjoying the very latest version of World of Warcraft, including the latest patch. The official forums are also back online.
In addition to the existing data centre near Paris we have opened our new centre in Frankfurt to support the increased number of players. You will be able to play in your preferred language and Realm regardless of the location of these data centres. If you have not already downloaded the game client you may use the link below. We look forward to meeting you in-game soon."
