Hearthstone website announces the open beta testing for
Hearthstone:
Heroes of Warcraft is live in North America, saying no more character wipes
are planned going forward. Here's word on testing of the card-based strategy
game:
The wait is over: The Hearthstone Open Beta Test is now live in
North America! If you haven’t had the chance to partake in all of the crazy
card-slinging action yet, now is the perfect chance to start casting powerful
spells, summon mighty minions and duel your friends in this fast-paced strategy
card game that anyone can dive into right away!
It’s been a crazy past few months for all of us on the Hearthstone team. We
announced Hearthstone at PAX East back in March, began the Closed Beta Test in
August, had a great Hearthstone event at BlizzCon with the Innkeeper’s
Invitational along with our announcements for Android and iPhone support, and
now we’re ready to unleash the awesomeness of Hearthstone to you with Open Beta!
So what does this mean for you? If you didn’t get the chance to participate in
the Hearthstone Closed Beta Test, now is your chance to download the game! Just
click here to download
Hearthstone, or you can use the Play Free Now button at the top of
playhearthstone.com. We have no plans to perform any more wipes of Hearthstone,
so feel free to amass your collection and play against your friends!
What if you don’t play in the North American region? Don’t worry; we plan to go
to Open Beta for all of the other regions within the next few days as well, so
stay tuned for more information!
As open beta is still a beta phase, we will be closely monitoring many aspects
of the game to ensure a positive play experience for everyone. Please be aware
that if smoke starts curling out of our servers due to unexpectedly high demand
to play Hearthstone, we may have to temporarily disable open beta account
activations for a time until we’re ready to take on more players.
Download, play and enjoy
Hearthstone now - We’ll see you in-game!
