    In addition to access to the beta, owners of the Spoils of War edition get a few additional perks.

    Beyond the Meat Wagon mount in World of Warcraft; Thrall, Anub’arak, Jaina and Tyrande in Heroes of the Storm, and the Third War card back in Hearthstone, the Spoils of War edition also contains:


    Warcraft III: Reforged Skins–Champion of the Horde Thrall, Emerald Nightmare Cenarius, Fallen King Arthas, Daughter of the Seas Proudmoore


    Overwatch
    • Player Icons: Human, Orc, Undead, Night Elf and Lich King
    • Animated Sprays: Footman, Grunt, Ghoul, and Archer


    Diablo III: Mal’ganis pet


    Starcraft II Console Skins


    StarCraft: Remastered: Spoils of War Console

    We’re looking forward to the clash of mighty armies, to hearing your reactions, and facing off with you online!

    *Beta schedule may vary between regions.

    WoW Classic - Realm List Populations Updated -- 28 October
    Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
    A few minutes ago, we enacted a change to how the populations are calculated in the WoW Classic realm list. Since shortly after the launch of WoW Classic, the realm list population labels have indicated real-time population levels.

    Now, the Low/Medium/High/Full labels are based on peak population over the last 7 days. We believe this provides a more-useful picture of a realm’s population to players who are making decisions about which realm to play on or transfer to.

    The realms which have not yet moved to one layer will continue to be marked “Layered”.

    Wish they'd do beta invites slightly different. Had it preordered the moment they announced it at Blizzcon and of course no beta invite. Oh well.

    I have the Collector's/Spoils/whatever it's called and unfortunately all I have is a greyed out "Install" button and saying it will release by 12/31/2019. No email either

    Spoils of War here, nothing. Some guys with normal edition already have it. So nope, while Blizzard claims your chances are higher with SoW, it doesn't "guarantee" anything.
    If the future is female...get ready for apocalypse.

    WHY does it look like beta has only orcs and humans? After a year only that would be... bad.
    EDIT:
    Yep, got it too, only Humans/Orcs.

    Might be all that is available in the beta while their build has pretty much everything. Only time will tell though

    Not trying to be silly, but have you checked the version as there's a Warcraft Reforged Beta version to install, my Install button was also greyed out but ye.

    I'm sure you already checked; but you seemed disappointed so I thought I'd throw it out as a suggestion just in case.

    I sure hope so, because for the last couple of weeks I have had this sinking feeling that the game indeed will be released before New Year... With just Humans and Orcs.

    The reforged website has been update with new screen shots of the undead and night elf factions, along side them finally adding the night elves to the faction select screen. So they are farther then a lot of people think.

    As far as I know I checked and didn't see anything. Here's what I'm seeing on my launcher and maybe I'm missing it somewhere? Not that I'm disappointed, just kind of ugh over majority of how beta people are selected.

    In a way it'd be disappointing, but at the same time I kind of understand since it seems like they are redoing a bunch of it from the ground up with model adjustments, story changes (in some areas) and making sure it's completely compatible with the old version.
