WoW Classic Stress Test Date

Thanks for clarifying. I thought they changed the date before… thought I was losing my mind :grinning:

I was looking forward to the next stress test. However, I was wondering if the next stress was too soon.

Also, I am curious about the process of how they went about taking a game (expansion) that is 15 years old, place in on new and better servers. I would love to hear more details on it, what issues they ran into, and some of the quality of life stuff they add or could not replicate. Are there bugs from classic that could not be fixed then but now with newer technology they were able to undo those?

I keep looking for more info on classic, new server names, and if we are going to have an RP-PVP server…And can we name it Mu’sha? Tauren lore, Mus’ha watch over you kind of reason. I am sure the alliance would love Elune but we already have Elune as a live retail server so, Mu’sha!

Can we do a vote on this on whether or not we get one from the start? For example, if we get 2000 YES votes you make one for us? Pretty Moo Please?

Elder Mokalyn Wildmane,
Redwood Tribe
(That whole RP-PVP protector of the tribe we still do on Emerald Dream.)

The Earth Mother watch over us; under cover of the night as in the day.

So I just got on to make sure everything was set for the test in a couple days and what do you know… Blizz cancels it… Guess I should not be surprised since its Blizz and they cancel almost everything… Wouldn’t be surprised if this gets delayed… GG Blizz GG…

would be cool if they delayed it until the character creation day and let us play the stress test on that day like a real launch (on our named characters that will be saved for launch) on the servers we are going to play on then just rolled back the servers back to lvl 1

on the plus side everyone would probably re sub to create characters, be able to stress test, and have a couple days worth of time on the actual launch.

Well… if you read the post, the Stress Test isn’t “canceled” it’s just postponed. Blizzard want’s to make Classic a truly great experience for everyone so it’s good that they admit when they aren’t ready and take their time with this project.

PLEEEEAAAASE

Don’t schedule it between August 5th and August 12th! I’ll be cross country that week. August 1st-2nd could work! I WANT TO TEST

Well, I doubt they’re going to delay it past the name reservation. And I doubt they’d only push it back a week, so chances are I’ll miss out on the next stress test (and I’m a dummy and wasn’t subbed in time for the previous one). At this rate I’ll be experiencing Pre-Cata Azeroth on the 27th since… Cataclysm.

This is a worthy sacrifice if it means Hunter and Hunter/Warlock pet fixes, though!

I have played both stress tests and have to say they are worth taking time off for. We need to practice for launch to be the best we can be. This is OG Azeroth boys! Who is ready to no life for weeks maybe months?!

FOR THE HORDE!

Shouldn’t you be trying to avoid that, so you can make all the same mistakes you did in Vanilla?

Kaivax, could we get an update please? I’d expect you guys to let us know by today or tomorrow. Looking forward to play as always <3

A mere couple of weeks before name reservations and we do not even have an eta on the stress test, much less server names.

Seriously guys?

Patience, my dear friend. Tomorrow, which is Thursday 7/25/2019, all your hopes and dreams will come true. The final stress test is nigh.
