| Sign Up for the World of Warcraft Stress Test Beta!
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. Click here to learn more about the World of Warcraft stress test beta and to sign up for a chance to participate in this special event. |
Fileplanet is reserving accounts for registered Fileplanet users first, but it is easy enough to sign up by visiting this link.
Once signed in to file planet you should check out the WoW stress test page here and the WoW Stress test FAQ here .
Note that the stress test will be run on different servers than the closed Beta, and will be limited to 7 days. The dates have not yet been announced, but will be after the signup period ends. Also the stress test is only going to be open to people in North America.
