I have a WoW1 Account as well.
I also have a PTR Account
WoW5 has a last played date in my case that corresponds to my last login to the beta. No data exists for the other two.
Don’t know what to tell you. I have the same thing and i do not have beta access.
World of Warcraft®: Battle for Azeroth® Americas and Oceania
World of Warcraft® (WoW1)
Americas and Oceania
World of Warcraft® (WoW2)
Americas and Oceania
World of Warcraft®: Legion (WoW2)

I literally lol’d at this…
Touche good sir… Touche…
You have an active WoW5 Legion PTR account, or a WoW2 PTR account?
I’m going by a sample size of two, but the friend I helped out also had the Classic Beta correspond to WoW5.
Extremely wise decision and hope you get tons of participation.
I think I see what you’re saying. You’re saying WoW5 is beta
Yes, exactly.
I’d predict that the stress test is going to be more up around the 15k mark or 5 layers, if not more.
The numbers are just the order in which the accounts were created. For instance, my PTR(non-beta) is WoW5. It just depends on the order they were made usually.
I think the takeaway is, that if you have beta and have played the PTR, it’ll show two different PTR licenses.

Well, except for that whole thing of my having two WoW1 accounts, one retail, the other PTR. YMMV, but I’d still expect someone in the beta to be very likely to end up with an active “WoW5” PTR account.
Edit: Within the PTR side of things, I only have WoW1 and WoW5, nothing else.
I’m sure Blizzard is just rushing to get you in beta now, lol…the entitlement mentality of some people is just unbelieveable.

Exactly… when served lemons… make lemonade… Me? If I get in, I’ll test 1-5 speed runs as many times as I can.
How cool is it to simulate launch day EXACTLY and practice getting ahead of the pack?

Considering that there are nearly 50,000 or more viewers watching Asmongold and tens of thousands watching other streamers just to see the classic content I’m guessing there will be two or three times your estimate, possibly even more.
What has watching a stream got to do with how many people Blizzard will pick to be in the stress test of a single server? It’s not carte blanche, you still have to be selected to be in the stress test too.
They don’t want 50,000 people on the server because that would exceed their layering caps.
Actually 50k players would simply be rolled into however many pairs of layers it would take… with each pair of layers capped at approx 3k each. So 19 pairs of layers would be spawned. Sounds like a good test to me. But I suspect they will hold off on that many until third round.
They said in the Dev interviews that queues would still be required, because they do have a cap on the number of layers for any server, in mind.
Anyone get in the Test Wave yet?

So if it hasnt showed up yet you didnt get into the stress test or will it pop up tomorrow and are more invites to the actual beta going out after the stress test
Queues are going to be very high I imagine the first week since many are taking off work.
From what I understand it would already be in your launcher, because they said they wanted to give people all of today to download it. Could be wrong, but I wouldn’t count on getting in.
