In a sneaky edit to Blizzard's tweet revealing the confrontation between Xal'atath and Khadgar, Blizzard has revealed that The War Within campaign intro will be tested on The War Within Beta tomorrow, Thursday, August 15 at 1:30 p.m. PDT.
Further clarifying in a bluepost, there will be a special «Launch Test» realm available on Thursday for copy or premade level 70 characters to test the expansion campaign intro leading into the Isle of Dorn, which will explore the Fate of Dalaran (alpha spoilers) in The War Within. Players can also copy characters ahead of time right now to prepare for the test tomorrow!
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.
Thank you and we’ll see you in Dalaran!
