How to Join

1. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

2. Open the Battle.net desktop app and allow it to update if needed.

3. Select World of Warcraft from the list of games.

4. In the Game Version menu above the Play button, select World of Warcraft: Forever Stress Test under In Development, then select Install.

5. Once installation is complete and the Stress Test begins, select Play and choose an available test realm.

6. Create a new test character when available, enter the game, and join the test.

When we shut down the Stress Test, all Stress Test characters, including names, will be deleted and we will re-open the Beta.

We plan to close the WoW Forever Beta … forever at 10:00 a.m. PDT on Friday, October 23.
