If you’re still anxious to tinker in WoW Classic ahead of the launch, Blizzard’s opened one more opportunity for you – and it doesn’t involve queues to claim names.
“To really ensure that these fixes are all functioning as expected and prepare the smoothest possible launch in two weeks, we’ve just re-opened our closed beta realms for additional testing of WoW Classic,” Blizzard announced on the forums. “All testers who previously had access to the closed beta are now able to log into those realms. Characters that were previously created on the beta test realms were removed, and level 40-character templates are now available. The level cap has been increased to 45. Characters in this range will find level-appropriate quests to explore in zones such as Stranglethorn Vale, Swamp of Sorrows, Dustwallow Marsh, and Desolace.”
Ug, having Stranglethorn Vale flashbacks from my old PvP server right now. Anyhoo, you’ve got a few more days to play around, as this final closed beta test comes to and end on August 16th. (The post doesn’t say what time.)
