In this region, the Stress Test will begin at 2:00 p.m. PDT.
To prepare for that, go to your Battle.net App and look for Stress Test under the Game Version selector on the WoW Forever playscreen.
It should look like this:

What is the incentive to join the stress test? Are you playing the game?

It reuses the files from the beta. Took less than a minute to install for me.

What do they need 4 and 1/2 hours for before the Stress Test starts? They only got one server and have to install Wow Forever stress test on it first?
If you’ve already installed the stress test, make sure to check for updates. I had one but only after manually checking. Current build is 70532.

That’s like FOUR WHOLE HOURS without playing WoW∞! What’s a girl to do?! Blizzard, you really need an IV version so I can shoot this game directly into my veins. Kind of rude that you don’t have this already.

syas begin at 2pm pdt. which is 5pm est for me. that means the realms will be back up at 9pm est.
unless i missed it, they never mentioned about bringing the servers down at 12 or 12:30 or w/e.

Maybe the Stress Test client uses the beta server in some way so they need it to be down?
If this is the case, it would be helpful if they told us that.

I mean are you even an addict if your aren’t willing to inject it with a needle directly into your eyeball?
No, the stress test is using live regional servers according to them. They’ll have taken beta offline to ensure everyone is funneled into the stress test.

That’s what im sayin. i thought i had another 4 hours of beta to play before stress test. kind of another communication issue. they didnt clarify theyd be closing so early.
it aint the end of the world, but communication goes a long way..
