Stress test today doesn't require Sub

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

No it doesn’t. One does not need BfA to have an active sub.

STRESS TEST SCHEDULE*

  • Stress Test 1: Wed May 22–Thurs May 23
  • Stress Test 2: Wed Jun 19– Thurs Jun 20
  • Stress Test 3: Thurs Jul 18– Fri July 19

*Dates of each stress test are subject to change.

To fill our pool of beta and stress test participants, we’ll be choosing dedicated players who meet select criteria from both the WoW Classic beta opt-in and the standard Warcraft beta opt-in. Participants will also need to have an active subscription or active game time on their Battle.net Account. While opting-in to the beta is the primary way to make sure you’re in the running to join the test it doesn’t guarantee an invitation to the closed beta test. We may also consider additional factors such as how long a player has been subscribed to the game so that we have the right mix of players to ensure great feedback toward making WoW Classic the very best experience for the community.

This does say pretty clearly that a sub is required.

I think you think I’m making the opposite argument than I did.

It confirms you need a subscription.

The part he quoted literally states players need an active sub in the second sentence. Why are people having such difficulties reading past the first few words of a sentence in a post? Is this where we’ve landed where we can’t even talk to each other because people are primed to stamp “wrong!” on a sentence without even completing it?

No worries love! I am fluent in Typnonese!

False hope springs eternal.

The person I quoted clarified the ambiguous response. All is well.

111

Active means with game time LOL. I’m not subbed but was able to download this stress test but have no doubt I won’t be able to log in when it goes live.

112

Try making a character now. I can.

113

It requires a sub for sure. They are up but I can’t create since I am unsubbed. Ah well.

Yup. You need a sub.

115

I just tried to access the realms with my NA trial account. I selected the realm, tried to enter, then got put back to the login screen with an error “active game time is required to play world of warcraft classic”.
I knew it was too good to be true :cry:

116

It requires a sub. I can log on but not even choose a server without game time.

117

No one can choose a server right now.

118

Some have made their characters already, just sayin. Also, it tells me splashed across the screen that I must have game time to access.

119

I stand corrected. Apparently you can make characters right now.

It’s not the same as an active blizzard account. It’s more of an optional subsection that has it’s own active and inactive status.

An active World of Warcraft game account means you have time remaining on your game account. Subbing adds time to your World of Warcraft game account. If you unsub, your game account stays Active until your remaining paid time ends. When the time you paid for runs out it will turn to Inactive unless you resub.

You can see your status for each game if you go to games and subs section on your account page. They will be listed as Active or Inactive. And can be listed as Inactive even if your Blizzard account is Active.

But only with a sub.
