Blizzard announces that
World of Warcraft: The War Within will go
live on August 26th. But there's still more testing to be done for the MMORPG,
and the announcement includes details on how interested players can test the new
content starting tomorrow:
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.
