World Of Warcraft Classic Kicks Off The Burning Crusade Beta Test
After a false alarm earlier this week, World of Warcraft Classic has finally kicked off The Burning Crusade beta test. Opt-in beta testers should have already received their invites and should now be able to download the beta client from the Battle.net app. Here are the steps to get into the beta test:
GETTING STARTED
If you’ve been selected to participate in the beta test, your Battle.net account will already be flagged for access.
- Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
- Run the Battle.net desktop app—it may need to update itself if you haven’t run it recently. If you don’t have the app installed, get started here.
- Once Battle.net is installed and updated, select World of Warcraft from the list of games.
- In the Game Version drop-down menu above the Play button, choose the Burning Crusade (listed under In Development), then click Install.
- Allow installation to complete, click Play and select any of the available Test Servers.
- Create a new test character or copy over a character from your live WoW Classic account using the Copy Character button.
- Enter the game and test the content.
“As always, please be aware of phishing attempts,” warned Blizzard. “If you’re unsure whether your invitation is legitimate, please log in to your Battle.net account to verify that there is a Burning Crusade Classic beta license attached (under Your Game Accounts).”
And because it’s a beta test, don’t forget to leave feedback and report any issues you discover while you’re jaunting through Azeroth and the Outland. A list of known issues is already up on the World of Warcraft official forums.
