Oh my god I love you

Edit: And it works for SEA.

Well, guess I have something to do in the background during the election (Hoping the Libs win)

Woo! Thanks Cairenn (and the rest of the team, of course). Now to spend ages downloading/patching the client, eh?

I feel your pain, for me even five keys more would have been enough. ;-)

Nevertheless, thanks for the update, Cairenn - looking forward to the next batch.

While I hope the same, it's in no way WoW-I's fault, and one may only frown upon Blizzard for not providing more keys. (Just felt some people need to be reminded of this, since there has been some rumors)

Thumbs up to the WoWI peeps for doing this! <3

Okay guys I just got word of a new error with the latest build , build # 12803.

I'm going to post about it here as this is the most visible thread , as well as updating my little FAQ.

Moving file pointer before the beginning of the file error :

If you get an error that looks like this
This application has encountered a critical error:

An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.

Program: D:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Beta\WoW.exe
File: character\goblin\female\goblinfemale.m2
Then you need to go into your World of Warcraft Beta folder -> Data folder and wipe the Cache folder there.

Be careful to wipe only the Cache folder and not the Data folder itself. Take a back up copy of the Data folder first if your unsure that you can delete the Cache folder without taking out the Data folder.

PS the subtly underlined part is the important part. I've seen crash reports on the beta forums mentioning different files but with the same error. All were fixed by this fix.

I'll go out on a virtual limb here and say they hope more keys will be forthcoming but as always you will know when they do.

I feel your pain, I was just a couple shy of the last batch and almost cried.

Thanks a ton to everybody at WoW-I, I know everybody here is extremely grateful for the work you guys have done.
This makes one hell of a BDay present

Exit the beta launcher for a minute, start your live launcher, go to options>download options, and uncheck "enable peer to peer transfer". Then close the live launcher and start the beta launcher again. This sometimes will help you go faster. For me the dl speed nearly doubled.

When I did this in the old version of the Launcher my download speed went from ~70KB/s to ~700KB/s.
