Hey guys, I make DejaCharacterStats and usually get an invite late alpha, never been in closed beta, but betas are usually out 3 - 4 months before expac launch.
My assumption is that a key part of Classic’s account system is that it requires a sub to retail. They were pretty vague about it in their initial announcement. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had a beta flag waiting if I subbed but I can’t afford to sub just to see, let alone for two days work on my addons.
So the takeaway is that I don’t think there is anything they can do; it appears they can’t invite you to beta, let alone the stress test, unless you are subbed.
Cheers!
They need to let more people in the Beta. Not just Streamers and their buddies. Lets be real here. 90% of the streamers arent even looking for bugs etc or reporting much. They are just playing the game and making money for doing it. I say this because if any big bugs are left over on launch day, Blizzard will have a bunch of angry people. And thats not something they cant afford having right now. This launch has to be nearly perfect in execution to be their Hail Mary.

Well send me an invite and I’ll log in…
Guys, also consider that their intent may be that this is a pre-stress test that they will ramp up at a later date with a full no sub required public open stress test.
Female participation in gaming is increasing. According to a Entertainment Software Association survey, women players in the United States increased from 40% in 2010 to 48% in 2014.Today, despite the dominant perception that most gamers are men, the ratio of female to male gamers is balanced, mirroring the population at large.
Taken from a quick google search, turns out women are on the internet now >:)

Me too :), ten chars
How many subs does WoW currently have anyways? I’d certainly reactivate my account for the beta, but not for a 2-day stress test.

How do you propose one tests something aside from… doing it?
You know most of the data Blizzard collects from the beta is done automatically, yes? You also realize there’s more than just streamers on the beta, yes?
Edit: Oh, 2 posts. I fell for the bait. My bad.
That’s the biggest complaint I’ve been seeing amoung streamers, Nixxiom said himself they need to let more people in, buying this lottery ticket just for the chance is such an Activision scam, I’m not going to waste money unless I get a guaranteed invite like I did with all the other expansions, get the invite first and then resub.

It may take each of us a couple days to reach level 8 or 10 when this thing goes live. You know, an hour here, an hour there till we get the kills and xp we need. Once the population spreads out, things will play as normal. If the startup is too irritating or stressful now, Classic is going to be a long haul for you. We likely won’t see this kind of competition for mobs again - but life in Azeroth has plenty of other obstacles. Most of us here will enjoy it I think - but clearly some people just want to run past all the good stuff.
“…limit it to only subs”
BFA’s low sub count?

I’m subbed and I don’t own BFA. I don’t play retail at all anymore.
cant do jack squat, its like logging in and going afk. respawns are non existent, you see like 50 people in the same zone running around doing nothing. this isnt fun, im excited for this but the opportunity to level is just not there.
I’m subbed and I stopped at 111. 111 was an accident even, I meant to turn off XP whilst I finished off Legion stuff but I burned out anyway. Now I log in just to do Firelands for mounts and other such collector things. Don’t play BfA at all.
As we are winding down at this point, I’ll lock this thread and point people over to the feedback thread if you’ve had a chance to login. Thanks to everybody who participated! Feedback - Stress Test - #310 by Bornakk
