Will there be a Beta?

[Overkiller-illidan]

Summer is getting closer. Will there be a Beta? If so, when? Does there even need to be one?

[Teemo-tichondrius]

there isn’t a need for one…

[Twiinkedd-terenas (Twiinkedd)]

Glad someone finally asked this question.

[Eopoo-anetheron]

stress test maybe? not sure a beta is needed. I wouldn’t mind either way though.

[anon26013520]

More like stress testing, but I think it’s likely.

If Blizzard stays true to form, the will be one soon, perhaps sometime in mid-spring. It won’t be open, just invite only, so be sure to go to your account management and opt in.

Confirmation of a Beta would be nice, although it seems like they are being as minimal as possible when it comes to disclosing any information about Classic.

[Thundertotem-blackwater-raiders (Thundertotem)]

hey are being as minimal as possible when it comes to disclosing any information about Classic.

You missed the post from a few days ago. Blizzard is actually quite talkative about Classic.

[Overkiller-illidan]

I didn’t, actually.

Yeah and the titanic didn’t need life rafts.

[Pyro-nazjatar]

posters cannot possibly know if we need a beta or not, only blizzard can tell us that

i would not be surprised either way

[Saángreal-moon-guard (Saángreal)]

I think classic should get a retro forum look when it goes live.

[Overkiller-illidan]

Okay? Insightful post for this discussion.

Weather it is open or closed… we need a beta. You don’t look for bugs you expect, its about finding the ones you don’t expect.

[Pintero-moon-guard (Pintero)]

“Maybe” That enough for you?

I have never got into a Beta through invite. My cousin got into like 2-3 iirc.

[Saángreal-moon-guard (Saángreal)]

I got the D2 beta, but probably not WoW. And if the PTR is any indicator I would be locked out due to “no realms found” error.

Would be cool to say “been playing since beta”

[Overkiller-illidan]

I’m going to bump this question every day until we get a solid answer and/or a Beta server.

[Roam-hakkar]

It’d be nice to have a chance to test addons/macros, since that side of things is apparently going to be somewhere in between vanilla & retail.

[Luuni-area-52]

I hope there is an open beta of sorts, just like the Demo. I really want addon authors to be able to get in there and work out their code.

Some addons are absolutely essential to the vanilla experience. If I cannot have atlas loot day one, I cannot spam

“Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] ?” in chat!

I need to be able to spam this. Priorites people!
