Due to very high demand, we opened a new WoW Classic realm for name reservations at 5:00 p.m PDT (8:00 p.m. EDT) on Wednesday, August 14:

Stalagg – PvP – Eastern Time

We suggest that players, especially those on the Herod realm, consider creating characters on Stalagg. We expect that other PvP realms in this region will otherwise experience significant login queues when Classic launches.

Thank you!

Hello!

Yes, we do have the Keyring coming to WoW Classic. It won’t be available at launch, but it will be added in the first patch.

We don’t yet have a timeframe for the first patch.

The Keyring should function as it did in original WoW 1.12, with the same capacity and key compatibility.

Thanks to your help testing WoW Classic, we’ve fixed many additional reported bugs since the Beta ended last month. To really ensure that these fixes are all functioning as expected and prepare the smoothest possible launch in two weeks, we’ve just re-opened our closed beta realms for additional testing of WoW Classic.

All testers who previously had access to the closed beta are now able to log into those realms. Characters that were previously created on the beta test realms were removed, and level 40-character templates are now available. The level cap has been increased to 45. Characters in this range will find level-appropriate quests to explore in zones such as Stranglethorn Vale, Swamp of Sorrows, Dustwallow Marsh, and Desolace.

As before, please use the in-game Bug Report button to submit issues encountered while testing. If you need more text space to explain an issue you encountered, please take it to our ...

We’re going to keep the WoW Classic pre-launch test realms open and available for play through the weekend. Please feel free to test WoW Classic as much as you like.

The pre-launch test will end on Monday, August 12 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. We are not planning an in-game event for shutdown this time.

Thank you very much to everyone who came out and provided the testing we were hoping for! Thanks to you, we’ve been able to fine-tune our plans for launch, and we even captured a few issues that we were able to solve yesterday.

We’ll see you in Azeroth!

We’re working on the following changes to several specs, which will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.

Please note that these adjustments are in testing, and we may add, edit, or strike them between now and maintenance. As always, we’ll let you know here if we make changes to the changes, and we’ll post the final numbers in our hotfixes update immediately after maintenance.

Starting 2019-08-12T22:00:00Z, players with an active subscription or game time on their World of Warcraft account can reserve their character names by creating up to three WoW Classic characters. Please note that all of your characters on a PVP realm must be the same faction.

Before creating a character, you’ll choose the realm where you want to play that character. Realms in the Americas will be:

Restarts complete! Back to the testing.

In a few minutes, we’re going to do restarts on all realms in the Pre-launch Test. This is to deploy a number of hotfixes that we’ve developed.

Thank you for your participation!

Here’s a reminder that today, starting at 2019-08-08T18:00:00Z, we’ll open WoW Classic realms in every region for the final pre-launch stress test.

We ask that players please log-in and play as much as possible during the first two hours of the test – 2019-08-08T18:00:00Z → 2019-08-08T20:00:00Z, as that is when we’ll be actively monitoring for issues important to launch.

We’ve heard your requests and want to let you know that we will be adding an RP-PVP realm in North America for WoW Classic. The comments, feedback, and passion from so many of you about this ruleset has been truly inspiring, and we’re happy to make RP-PVP available for you!

Realm information (names, rulesets, and time zones) will be posted before the weekend so you can make plans with your friends and get ready to reserve your name on your preferred realm(s) on 2019-08-12T22:00:00Z.

We’re getting closer to end of the 2019 AWC Summer Season, which means the open registration opportunities to qualify to the Summer Finals and Global Finals at BlizzCon are nearly over.

In North America, Cloud9, formally known as Super Frogs, have been dominant all year, earning the title of 2019 Spring Champions and sitting at the top of the region with 360 AWC points. Their BlizzCon Qualification is more than solidified. Just behind them, The Boys have already locked up their Summer Qualifications and their BlizzCon qualification as the top point earner of North America. This leaves teams like M2KC, Method Orange, The Move, and Resurgent...
