At this time, we have wrapped up our active testing period. The stress test realm will still be available for play until Thursday, May 23 at 6:00pm PDT. If you were selected for just the stress test, there will be no realm to login to at that time tomorrow.

The closed beta realms will soon be available again for those testers.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the WoW Classic stress test!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the WoW Classic stress test!

First off all, we want to thank all of you who have shown interest in testing WoW Classic. Having extra eyes on so many aspects of the game is a huge help as we prepare for the upcoming release.

At this time, we’ve finished sending out all of the invites for the first stress test. This large invite wave took a number of hours to process, so please check that thread for details about it and we’ll see many of you there when the test begins later today. Also, don’t forget that we have a couple more stress tests ...

If you got it today then it should be just the stress test.

The 4-6pm window is when we need as many people on as possible to do the active testing. The realm will remain playable for those in the stress test until the following day (time listed in the OP) so they play around a bit more.

Eek! Poison!!

Up a little bit… WoW Classic Stress Test 1

It’s the same client so the closed beta folk use the same thing, but if you got invited to just the stress test you will only see that realm when it’s available around the times that are listed in the original post.

There was an issue where it appeared early, that was a mistake, once you have the client we will have the realm playable tomorrow/Wednesday at 4pm PDT.

It should become available at 4pm PDT tomorrow/Wednesday.

Sorry if I’m confusing folks but it’s pretty different situation than normal. If you got invited to the stress test you will only be able to play on the stress test.

If you are flagged for the stress test you will only see the stress test realm which will be active at the times list then become unavailable on Thursday. It’s listed at that in the App since it’s the same client.

Good to hear, see you there tomorrow! Hogger is going DOWN!

Hi folks,

In order to diagnose the problem, we’d like to look at some logs from your Battle.net application if you have already experienced this issue.

You do not have to re-create the problem – the logs are already there.

Simply follow the steps in this article to create a file you can share with us:

The people who are in the closed beta will see the new title in the launcher so I wanted to get this post up to avoid confusion there. For people who are getting invited to the stress test, it may not show up in your Battle.net App until tomorrow but then you have the rest of that day to download the client and prepare for Wednesday.

Getting invited to the stress test will not impact your standing for future closed beta invites.

We’ll be performing our first stress test for WoW Classic on Wednesday, May 22, from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. PDT. During this time, the closed beta test realm will be unavailable. Those who are currently in the beta test will only be able to login to the stress test realm during this time and beta testers can participate using their existing installation. We’ll also be adding a significant number of players to the stress test from the pool of people who have already opted in for the beta but have not yet been selected.

Since the same client is used for both our stress test users and our normal beta users, the name in the Battle.net App has changed to “Beta & Stress Test: WoW Classic . ” If you’ve been selected to participate in the ...

This is definitely why we do a beta test. We can also do things like reset the realm at a busy time like 4:30pm PDT to try and find the source of a certain issue where a crocolisk is losing it’s brain due to how multiple processes are interacting and mirroring code to form a cohesive world. There were similar types of issues like this back in 2004 but we wanted to try and resolve this one before the weekend for the folks who are testing.

This is a known issue that we are actively investigating. Please continue to report these types of mob-behavior if they are happening in other locations.

I’ll get Viper before you. :-p
