Classic Stress Test - June 19-21 - NA/Oceania Only

[Moorea]

it's limited to 15, which may be tight on a crowded, crashing server if you're starting at 1

Thanks. 15 is fine for testing. I meant on live I only plan to take them to 20 for summoning and maybe 35 for crafting.

Hi guys, very excited for this test, we’ll be able to run instances too which has me really excited. I am really looking forward to seeing how everyone’s teams fare in the early dungeons let us know on these forums. I plan on trying the 2 sham 3 war strat to 15 then do rfc and see how long it takes, and if I have time maybe wailing caverns. Also, it didn’t mention SFK but I hope we can give that a shot as well. Durotar is going to be an absolute cluster but we’ll be able to have a similar experience to launch day I suppose, we could share strategies we find are successful in getting away from the Zerg rush, if I find a nice spot to grind I’ll share it with you all.

If we have 2 wow account linked to our BNET account will it let us multibox?

Or we need 2 seperate BNET account?

It be more like, I can't log-in. than server crashing I may test the boxing team, but i did that before.

I'm sticking to 4x locks and 1 priest
or 3x warlocks 1x priest 1x mage.

I have 5 I think, on one bNET, but I think each one needs-active subscription to be able to participate in a stress-test.

The issue is having only 1 stress test account for the Bnet account I think.

I have 2 active subscription but only 1 development account.

What is this "stress test account" you speak of ?
What is this "development account" you speak of ?

I am working on reactivating my WoW accounts but don't want to if they wont get into the Stress Test. If I recall correctly I have 3-4 Bnet accounts with 5 WoW games authorized across the 3-4 Bnet accounts.

Something like:
1Bnet with 2 WoW Legion Subscriptions (but currently inactive with no game time);
1Bnet with 1 WoW Subscription (maybe WoTLK or Legion can't remember);
1Bnet with 1 WoW Subscription (maybe WoTLK or Legion can't remember);
1Bnet with 1 WoW Subscription (maybe WoTLK or Legion can't remember);

So far I haven't gotten an invite into the Beta in any way that I know of. Should any/all of the above be able to get into the Stress Test if I add game time to them (or add 1 month subscriptions)?

Do I need to anything more than add subscriptions to get into the Stress Test?

What is this "stress test account" you speak of?

Currently, access to Classic is labeled "Beta & Stress Test."

What is this "development account" you speak of?

A PTR account.

Something like:
1Bnet with 2 WoW Legion Subscriptions (but currently inactive with no game time);
1Bnet with 1 WoW Subscription (maybe WoTLK or Legion can't remember);
1Bnet with 1 WoW Subscription (maybe WoTLK or Legion can't remember);
1Bnet with 1 WoW Subscription (maybe WoTLK or Legion can't remember);

Every WoW account is given every expansion previous to the current, so you don't have a "WotLK" account, per se, you just have a WoW account without the current expansion. (If this was what you were even referring to by listing that information.)

So far I haven't gotten an invite into the Beta in any way that I know of. Should any/all of the above be able to get into the Stress Test if I add game time to them (or add 1 month subscriptions)?

Do I need to anything more than add subscriptions to get into the Stress Test?

We won't know whether Blizzard is flagging WoW licenses or just BNet accounts with active game time on one of its accounts, and unless Blizzard is able to clarify before tomorrow's test begins, then we'll just have to wait and see. The language they use seems to indicate that access is being given at the WoW license level (as it will be after Classic is launched), rather than the BNet account level (which is how all testing up to this point has been done), but, again, we likely won't know before tomorrow's test begins.

... [lots of great info] ... but, again, we likely won't know before tomorrow's test begins.

Thanks. If I recall correctly I only Duo'ed in Legion so I only bought 2 copies of Legion and when I logged in recently they said Legion. I think I only bought up to WoTLK on the 3 other main accounts so I made the assumption they would only say WoTLK but I haven't logged in on them yet (sorry for any confusion)...

It would be great to hear feedback when folk see anything or get in.

for the stress tests so far it’s only 1 per bnet even if you have 5 paid subs, you still get at most one

obviously for release it’ll be one per paid account (like the demo was)
