If you had beta, you’d know.

You do not have beta.

Here’s how you can tell by looking at the launcher…

Click on the popup above the “Play” button

If it shows a “Under Development” section with “Beta : World of Warcraft Classic” then you have Beta.

If it shows “World of Warcraft Classic” but it’s under “Live” then you have Stress Test only.

It’s a little confusing but basically the beta runs off the beta login servers while the stress test will be running off the live login servers. So are separated thusly in the launcher.

Is that actually true? I have the Beta : World of Warcraft Classic" under my in development options, but if I click it the Play button is greyed out saying I can’t play Classic yet

I have both beta and the stress test clients installed and that’s what I see.

In your World of Warcraft folder do you have a _classic_ folder or a _classic_beta_ folder

8

I don’t think this is true because I see Beta: World of Warcraft Classic, but it’s grayed out. Someone suggested that it’s there solely so you can uninstall the client easily.

9

both, _classic_ and _classic_beta, but that’s probably since I was in the first stress test right?

10

well :frowning: atleast I’ll be able to play for 48 hours

I’m thinking the BDA is getting confused as to which client is actually installed.

First off what version is showing for you when you right click the Blizzard logo in the BDA launcher and go Settings ?

MVP, you are actually very wrong. The Beta Classic client is there for pretty much everyone. BLizzard already said they are leaving it there so people can uninstall the beta client. You can know if you have real beta by whether or not the beta client’s play button is grayed out or active.

If anyone has any further questions about any of this, I have a data thread posted with tldr and link to BLizzard’s blue post with what we know currently. Hope it helps.

+1. We hit the over, people!!! :partying_face:

14

Not completely true. I had an alpha invite for BfA, but my spam filter caught it, didn’t know it until sometime into beta.

15

No-one needs the email to tell. :stuck_out_tongue:

The big active “PLAY” button, on the Beta client is a hint.

16

If you were in the first stress test, you’re seeing the beta option because the beta client is still installed. Your option to play it is greyed out because you are not in the closed beta. As per a blue post in the beta forums, they made is visible to you so you could more easily uninstall it if you wanted to.

Thanx for that :+1:

There aren’t bells and whistles going off telling people when there is a new blue post.

I get a notification in my Windows Notifications for every new topic in this forum. What aren’t you doing?

True. If you’re looking for it, it’d be hard to miss.
