War Within Launch Test: August 15th

Staff's Avatar by Staff

Blizzard are holding a test for War Within’s launch! On Thursday, August 15th, the introductory experience for the expansion and a simulated expansion launch will take place on the new “Launch Test” server. The Isle of Dorn will also be available after that, and players can copy their live characters onto the realm.


Please join us for a special test on the War Within Beta realms tomorrow, Thursday, August 15 at 1:30 p.m. PDT(4:30 p.m. EDT, 22:30 CEST).

At that time, only a special realm named “Launch Test” will be available for testing.

Please log into the Launch Test realm and copy your live character or use a level 70 character template and then head to Dalaran. At 2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT, 23:00 CEST), we’ll simulate a full expansion launch. Testers should receive the quest to start the expansion intro experience at that time.

Thereafter, we’ll play through the expansion intro and all the way into the first zone, the Isle of Dorn. We’ll aim to end the test at around 3:30 p.m. PDT (6:30 p.m. EDT, 00:30 CEST) and we’ll return other test realms to service thereafter.

Thank you and we’ll see you in Dalaran!
