Closed Beta has officially launched for World of Warships.  If you participated in the Alpha or the Beta Weekends you should be in.  Otherwise you can sign up on the website until the spots fill up.

***NOTE***

NDA is over as well.  Recording and streaming from this point on is fine.  Any content recorded during the previous Alpha and Beta periods is still covered under the NDA.

 I just signed up today, so hopefully I will snag a spot.  If it was just for yesterday, naturally it'd been a day I pull 16 hours with 9 of that being in Superior Court.

I don't think it was just for the day.  The post they have says that it will close once all spots are filled.  I know Some people signed up late last night and were able to get in game immediately.  They've put a friends list in and you can form divisions to play together (only 3 people though).  So far I know myself, Hau, Mercer, Sapel, and Ganos are in...so much fun.

 Sweet, thanks for the info.

I'm in as well but work stops me from finding much time to play

If anyone doesn't have it yet...my name in game is davisjm0311.  We've been having a blast in our little 3 man teams.

[davisjm0311]

They've released 3 new premium ships that can be purchased either individually or as a bundle as well as premium time and gold.  These are pre-orders, but if you are in the CBT you will have access immediately.

Do they have the North Carolina class battleship in game? 

[davisjm0311]

I have no doubt that they will...but they haven't added any American Battleships yet. It's still pretty far from complete. 

[davisjm0311]

They've added access to the Closed Beta Test (CBT) to the ship pre-order bundles...so if you aren't in and want to be...there ya go.
