Testing Burning Crusade Classic Launch Again on May 13

Posted 2021/05/12 at 2:54 PM by perculia

Thank you very much to everyone who logged on to the Launch Test beta realm today and helped us test the opening of the Dark Portal.Unfortunately, we ran into unexpected issues that prevented us from learning what we wanted to about how to best configure the game.That’s why you test!So we’re going to do this all again tomorrow, May 13, at the same time, 11:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 p.m. CDT, 2:00 p.m. EDT). Please join us if you can.We appreciate it!
We’ve now updated the Launch Test realm. All of the characters that were previously there have been wiped, and the realm is again available for login.

We have the Launch Test realm in name reservation-only mode, so feel free to go ahead and create characters there to prepare for the test tomorrow.

Thanks!

They pick us times because blizzard is located in US and they test thing during us working hours when their staff in the us are normally working.

Comment by Gombol

They are running these tests, yet. We all know the servers will crash, it'll be non-stop lag, queues for hours etc. Same as classic launch.

Comment by Artek88

in other words sc....rew rest of the world no matter the time they propably sleeping/working etc etc....

There are EU posts for this reason. Try looking around next time before posting.

for these kind of test events they need the US team online and watching the servers.

The point is to stress test, and the classic team is by no means an international team. They no doubt want to keep the testing during their work hours to be able to identify issues and try to address them.

You aren't missing much, the server was up and down quite a few times. You could hardly even move at the dark portal. You had to alt+f4 at the flight path in stonard and sign back in to get off the wyvern.

Comment by stbash

Oh man they didnt get the results they wanted. Maybe dont have the test time be in the morning/early afternoon in the US on a WEEKDAY. Cause you know people have those things called jobs.

Sure... but the EU post isn't the one Tweeted out, on the front page of WoWhead or sent to peoples Discord servers. Most people are probably not aware of the blue post tracker.
