I’ve updated the original post here to include “At the same time, Warsong Gulch will close.”

Hopefully more keys go out with the level cap increase. Fingers crossed for everyone!

I’m honestly kind of confused on why they posted this in “Classic Discussion” instead of the beta forum, when this is specifically only for the beta. They posted the WSG thing in just the beta forum.

Don’t tease us with beta Blizzard ;( .

Fingers crossed, mate!

Thank you, and good advice.

Valdro-steamwheedle-cartel · June 4, 2019, 6:12pm

I would love to stream my leveling to 40.

Darknesself-trollbane · June 4, 2019, 6:13pm

We can’t guard the farm if we’re not in beta.

‘nudge’

Noleafclover-skullcrusher · June 4, 2019, 6:13pm

Farm protection was always my job in original WoW best damn prot warrior flag holder around. I used to carry different sets of resist gear incase those magic users would come to try and cap.

Zargrin-draenor · June 4, 2019, 6:13pm

Surely this means you’ll need more people to test the beta… right?

Felaryn-misha · June 4, 2019, 6:15pm

Nothing is sacred. Next your going to tell me AB is leaving when AV is being tested.

anon28815018 · June 4, 2019, 6:16pm

Oh I get it, you want me to guard farm while everyone that’s actually in closed beta fights at Blacksmith.

You’re a funny one, Kaivax!

Lethtendris-area-52 · June 4, 2019, 6:17pm

Kaivax:

Later today, we will take the WoW Classic closed beta down for maintenance and we will increase the level cap from 30 to 40. This will allow testers to level up in zones such as Stranglethorn Vale, Desolace, and Arathi Highlands (among others). At the same time, Warsong Gulch will close.

To further assist testing efforts, we will reduce the cost to respec closed beta characters. The new cost will be charged in silver instead of gold, a 99% reduction in cost, and will only be applied to the beta test.

We’re also going to open Arathi Basin for limited testing in the closed beta. There will be no templates, so all characters will need to be level 20 or higher to participate. The test will begin on the afternoon of Thursday, June 6.

Please keep an eye on our known issues thread, as well as our growing list of reports we’ve confirmed are not bugs . Thank you for your continued efforts in testing WoW Classic!

P.S. Don’t forget to guard the farm.

Make sure you guys fix the bugs in WSG. Fearing through walls, wall jumping etc etc. Don’t forget mounts also weren’t tested in bg’s just a fyi…

Also don’t forget most beta testers are 20 - 30 now so world content will start to drought so lack of testers for the world again and tons of people still wanting in. WoW Hobbs even made a comment the other day that they need more people since he had no one to quest with.

Gl blizzard & testers make this good come launch day.
