WoW: Forever Stress Test Moves to October 21

The World of Warcraft: Forever server stress test has moved to October 21 from October 19. The test is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. PDT in North America, 19:00 CEST in Europe, 06:00 KST in Korea on October 22, and 05:00 CST in Taiwan on October 22.[1]

Anyone can take part without a subscription, game time, invitation, or beta access. The beta is expected to go offline shortly before the stress test and return shortly after; the test window may also be adjusted as needed.[1]

Use the Battle.net app to select World of Warcraft: Forever Stress Test from the Game Version menu under In Development, install it, and launch when the test begins. Create a new test character and choose an available realm.[1]

Stress-test characters, names, and guilds will be wiped afterward in preparation for name reservations opening October 27. Players who pre-purchased a listed Skyborne pack or the limited-time Warcraft Forever Collection can reserve names from October 27 through November 3; names are first-come, first-served and not guaranteed.[1]
