    Access to 5.0.1 PTR and Mists of Pandaria Beta

    Access to 5.0.1 PTR and Mists of Pandaria Beta
    Patch 5.0.1 is right around the corner on test realms! It also means that the release of MoP isn't too far either.
    Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
    We will soon begin public testing of patch 5.0.1 of World of Warcraft, a patch that will precede the Mists of Pandaria release, and includes many features and functions that are new to the game.

    We encourage all players who wish to test patch 5.0.1 with us to take careful note of the following:

    • It will not be possible to access the 5.0.1 PTR realms with a game account that accesses the Mists of Pandaria Beta.
    • If a game account has been flagged with a Mists of Pandaria Beta license, it can only be used to enter Beta realms.
    • This limitation is on each World of Warcraft license, and is not Battle.net account-based.
    • While testing 5.0.1, players will not be able to access zones or content that is a part of the Mists of Pandaria expansion.

    Thank you for your continued support of our testing and tuning process. We look forward to seeing you in-game.

    3 months til PTR is live @ 5.0.1 and 1 month following for MOP, so 4 months

    Why does this sound like the PTR and Beta logins will access the same game servers?

    Good thing I didn't sign up to the AP then. Being able to use my brother's Beta and my own for this ftw.

    Well, I guess this means a release date is not far off!

    Technically, you are correct. If you don't have a second account in some capacity, you will not be able to playtest the 5.0.1 PTR. Keep in mind, though that you really can if you want, just go on the beta with an 85 toon and lock his/her experience. then get some groups with others like that and run Cata content. Bam, same diff.

    That isn't really true!

    They'll be testing the 5.0.1 pre-expansion event on the PTR.. you can't do that on the beta!

    Good point, I hadn't considered that. /shrug oh well. I'm sure plenty of us will post about it here.

    I think this is a nice way to do it to give people who didn't get to play the beta something to test as well. I'm in the beta, so no PTR for me, but I already have plenty to do in here as it is.
