In order to evaluate World of Warcraft's account-creation process and server performance under heavy loads, Blizzard will be conducting a seven-day stress test beta in the days ahead. This test will require over 100,000 players to download the World of Warcraft stress test beta client, create an account, and log on to play when the test goes live!
To make the client available for download to such a large audience, we have partnered with FilePlanet, GameSpy's Web-based file-delivery service. Follow the link below to learn more about the World of Warcraft stress test beta and to sign up for a chance to participate in this special event.
Note: New and current FilePlanet subscribers are automatically guaranteed a reserved position in this closed stress test. Non-FilePlanet members can still sign up to participate in this event, however they are not guaranteed a position in this event.
