Thank You!

Like for this server test, they could jsut remove the flag that people can’t create an alliance character if they have a horde and vice versa … they want to stress server test ? Make people create level on of the opposite faction and make them go join people who are already at a key point, which give more data to Blizzard.

Every side win that way, but it’s too hard for blizzard

Had a blast leveling to 10 in Elwynd Forest. Thanks for the opportunity!

So much this. I’d love to try out the Horde without deleting all my Alliance characters.

I enjoyed it very much, any word on the next stress test?

Thanks for the Invite.

Thank you blizzard! I was able to participate in this stress test as i could not even log into the first. I acutally leveled a warlock to 10., Absolutely ruined me for BFA, how ever this is the best game i have ever played, WOW classic. I actually had to think about what i was doing . dying and walking forever was fun, it gave me time to troll the chat. SO FUN!!!

The barrens music, for real, i turned off my itunes, and cranked up barrens music. Absolute nostalgia. BFA is good in a lot of ways, but its too boring after 1 dungeon, or 1 BG or 1 world quest. its so boring and way too easy. Cant wait for August 26.

Thank you for such a wonderful game, that I will be like a small child waiting up all night for Christmas morning for toys… But im waiting for wow classic.

I really hope current WORLD of WARCRAFT takes this route, and changes to make things acutally hard and have a meaning.

And not all pve RNG , we had some rng always but it was not the driving force with vendors and a system that use to make sense… That only WoW once had.

Goodjob, everyone.

The videos I saw looked super fun.

I’m not jealous, just saying goodjob…

We have now completed the WoW Classic Stress Test that began yesterday at 2:00 p.m. PDT. We’re very pleased with the amount of participation we saw, and we’re happy to report that we got a great deal of highly useful data, as well as new issues that were uncovered by your efforts to log in and play.

Woot woot! That’s good to hear this time. I know when the servers were having issues at the start I was worried it was going to be like the previous stress test in terms of data gathering. Good to hear good data was acquired this time.

@Kaivax

The closed beta realms remain available for those testers.

/Grab Kaivax

No! Can’t the servers stay open a bit longer! Please, I need my fix Kaivax! Just five more minuets man! I need my Classic fix, man!!!

@Kaivax

Thank you very much to everyone who participated in this stress test!

/sobs uncontrollably

In all seriousness, while all I can do is speak for myself, I am beyond hyped for Classic and these past two stress tests have reminded me of what was so addictive about Vanilla! It has been an absolute blast to experience once more. June 19th feels miles away and August feels even further.

Speaking of Stress Tests though, has the May 29th test changed any of the original schedule or is June 19th still planned for another stress test as mentioned in the following article?

Anyway, it was fun and it’s awesome to hear there was good data acquisition from this one

[Heidene-kelthuzad]

Glad to help! Especially when it turns out much more fun than you’d expect for a stress test! Was very cool as well to see Omar take the time to let as many of his devout following as possible praise him for his glorious deeds in restoring classic for us
Of course the love is also extended to the whole classic team too, who make it happen as best they can, while having such a lovely attitude about it all! And for this, thank you very much
Hope you’ll continue to have a lovely time working on the game we all love so much here!!

This Is why I asked if a more recent stress test may surface before,Stress Test 2: Wed Jun 19– Thurs Jun 20.

Seeing The May/29th stress test was not part of the list originally.

Thanks

[Ôptimuskrayt-tichondrius]

There was a second stress test? Didnt get an email this round but somehow i had access, wouldve been nice to know…

Its a good question, honestly, and one I am curious about. We know that the May 29th one came about because the May 23rd one had technical issues and they were unable to get good data from it.

@Bornakk

That said, because of some of the issues that were encountered, we were not able to test other aspects that we’d planned for. As a result, we will be doing another stress test on Wednesday, May 29 from 2-4pm PDT.

WoW Classic Stress Test on May 29

From the sounds of it, this one looks to have been much more successful. My assumption is that there won’t be another unscheduled one before the next test but I am curious if because of this unexpected test happening if the schedule would have changed.

@Ôptimuskrayt-tichondrius

They told everyone on the forums in the above linked thread that everyone who was in the previous May 23rd test was going to be in the May 29th test. They don’t send emails out for those kinds of things.

[Palliedude-grizzly-hills]

I only received the email for the first test, they did post in the forums of yesterdays test though.

[Orindrel-trollbane]

I loved playing a tauren warrior on the stress test and going to level in the orc/troll zone i was the only tauren i ever saw leveling in that area, i really stood out than everyone else with my character name-Alarm and race

[Ôptimuskrayt-tichondrius]

Gotcha, i usually skip past the stickied/blue stuff. Wish i got an email tho

Is it still open an additional 24hrs? Like we have access to it until tomorrow or was that today lol

Ahh yes i remember the issue well. Some of us had 2 PTRS in the region/acct… with that said, it makes loads of sense… Thanks for the heads up.

[Ôptimuskrayt-tichondrius]

Lame, it seems my lick has ran out this beta. Ive got an inv to every blizz game/expansion except this one. I had fun in first stress test tho. Things seemed good til lvl 5 horde/ally side. Ill keep a closer eye on forums for future stress tests
