Warlords of Draenor Beta Servers Live
The beta servers are now active and alpha characters have been wiped.

Our next step is a huge stress test on the Assault on the Dark Portal intro experience we opened up on Wednesday. We’re inviting a TON of players to the Beta, but we’ve temporarily restricted access to Draenor for now. We’ve also wiped characters from the Alpha, so you’ll need to create a new one, or copy your character over from live realms.

Today at 2 p.m. Pacific, we’ll respawn the NPCs that teleport you to Draenor (Archmage Khadgar, located in the Trade District in Stormwind or the Valley of Strength in Orgrimmar). We’d like to get as many people as possible logging in and trying out Tanaan to stress test the environment and make sure everything works. If you have a chance to jump in, please join us!

Faction Cities Moved to Ashran
Mumper let everyone know last night that the faction cities that were originally supposed to be in Frostfire Ridge and Shadowmoon Valley were moved to just outside of Ashran. This has led to a long discussion on the forums.



Warlords of Draenor Beta Invites
Bashiok answered a few questions about this invite wave on Twitter.

  • Invites in this wave were targeted to WoW Veterans rather than being random. Not every veteran will get an invite in this wave.
  • Both US and EU players were invited in this wave.
  • You don't need to be subscribed to the game currently to get an invite.



Warlords of Draenor Alpha Characters Wiped
If you had alpha access, you will find that all of your characters have been wiped. If you are in beta, you may be able to copy your Live account data and characters after maintenance is complete.

    Such old.

    Many played.

    Wow.

    From 2006.

    There were probably enough people in the WoW original beta who kept their accounts until now that they don't need to invite anyone else... I had it since mars 2005 and I havn't got a beta invite either!

    Been playing since vanilla. You don't want to know what my /played is. I've never receive an invite to test beta.

    It really makes me wonder who they are sending these out to.

    I haven't got my invite so I will not buy the exp. I said if I got an invite into Beta what they never did in the last years I will buy WoD.

    Yes, a city with the only land entrance being into The World PvP Zone will have no forced PvP whatsoever.
    Oh, you don't like every single vendor, quest-giver and flight-master dead?
    Fight back!
    Ahaha.
