Well, I'm pretty sure it ends at the end of the month although it may end when the game officially comes out. I was told it ended at the end of the month.
NDA?

Non Disclosure Agreement...You cannot take screenshots or videos. It was like that for Crysis Beta.

Kare Bear, the logic I used to come up with my conclusion is very simple. Make an assumption of 100 million potential PC gamers. Out of those, you have to find the potential PC gamers who give a damn about MMO games, willing to pay subscriptions fee, willing to buy the game, and are able to play it. That will end you up with a pretty low number.
Now with WoW, anyone can run the game, the game is popular that most non-gamers have heard about it and it's pretty much the king of MMOs.
The fact that AoC has higher requirements settings means it can't compare with WoW in terms of sales. Need a proof? Crysis. only sold 1 million units on PCs for a game that is supposedly to be the best FPS game of 2007.
@Badie: The settings you posted are for the DX9 version? because the one I read where insane. I guess I read the one for the DX10 version or something.

Just because a game sells more, does not mean it is "better" than another game.
Game play wise, AoC is by far superior, as well as graphic wise. I was once an addict of WoW, but it gets so boring. It's only fun to raid, sometimes anyway. But in AoC you can do siege battles on castles, WoW has NOTHING on AoC.

Agreed...stop making me rethink my purchasing decisions.  . I want a demo for public release though...So I can test like one quest or something before paying 80 bucks for the retail boxed copy and later (12 mon) buying a subscription.

Well, there are a few bugs in the beta, that's for sure. It's a beta afterall. But they'll have them fixed by release time.
You'll enjoy AoC though. =D I love it. Its just so... awesome. I loveee how they've done the combat system.

Where exactly did I say WoW is better than AoC? I never said that. I just said it won't be as popular.
And I wanna see some numbers for this 20 millions sign ups. Sounds like BS to me.

You said that the game won't beat WoW.
I'm pretty sure that in popularity, it will win. ..
