Throughout <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com">WoW Insider</a>'s extensive coverage of the <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath"><em>Wrath of the Lich King</em></a> beta for <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a>, the "<a href="http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/ask-a-beta-tester/">Ask a Beta Tester</a>" feature has answered some interesting questions and given us <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/09/24/spoilers-angrathar-the-wrath-gate/">some insightful information</a> for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/shawn-schuster/">those not lucky enough</a> to be in the beta.<br /><br />However, unless you're actually in the beta yourself, it's hard to ask just the right questions. Even some of the basic fundamental questions might go unasked, while players focused in on the hardcore topics. So WoW Insider <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/03/ask-a-beta-tester-questions-i-wish-wed-been-asked">goes through some of the questions that they wish they'd been asked</a> during the lifetime of the now-deceased <em>Wrath</em> beta. Check out <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/03/ask-a-beta-tester-questions-i-wish-wed-been-asked">the full article</a> for answers to such questions as "What's the most tempting thing to do as soon as you get Cold Weather Flying?" and "What's the biggest difference between <em>Burning Crusade</em> and <em>Wrath of the Lich King</em>?"<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/11/05/wow-insider-explores-unasked-questions-for-the-wotlk-beta/">WoW Insider explores unasked questions for the WotLK beta</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:00:00 EST.

We've been in the Beta for a while, and we've got lots of information about the game just stewing in our brains. Hopefully features like <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/20/massively-speaking-podcast-episode-19/">Massively Speaking #19</a> and our <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/20/massivelys-state-of-the-game-warhammer-online-beta/">State of the Game</a> piece have conveyed some of the ways we're thinking about the game. <br /><br />But your questions are really what we want to get answered. Today we're going to take a first crack at what was asked last week. We're going to take care of some of the most basic questions, clarifying things like server balance, armor differentiation, and whether the game is any fun at all for non-<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/warhammer-online" style="font-style: italic;">Warhammer</a> IP fans. We're betting that these answers will prompt even more questions, and that's good! Every time we put up an "<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ask-a-beta-tester/">Ask a WAR Beta Tester</a>" article, we want you to throw us more questions in the comments.

In fact, some of us have been playing for quite a while. We've got loads to tell you abou - we've got a ton of features planned; classes, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/rvr">RvR</a>, zones ... lots of great stuff. But we're also willing to bet there's a ton you want to know that we won't cover in our guides.<br /><br />We want to answer as many of your questions as we can, and we're going to do it in a series called <em>"Ask a WAR Beta Tester"</em>. We've got a panel of <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/warhammer-online">Warhammer</a></em> Beta experts standing by, poised to answer the smallest question you might have about the game. Want to know about the Greenskins? Maybe something about those quirky healing classes? put your question in the comments, one per post please, and we'll address them right quick here on the site. We're going to try to do this on a regular basis, so drop your questions early and often! Fire away! <hr />
