Blizzard has spontaneously extended the “Pre Launch Test” of WoW Classic. You can still play all weekend long.
To the surprise and delight of the player community, Blizzard made a nice announcement for World of Warcraft Classic last night. The servers were supposed to go offline at 8:00 PM for the “Pre Launch Test” – but they just kept running.
In the official forum, Blizzard then revealed that the servers will be online a bit longer – until the upcoming Monday, August 12.
Interested players can therefore dive into Classic to their heart’s content before the servers go offline on Monday at 6:00 PM.
Level cap of 15 remains: However, there was no statement that Blizzard would raise the level cap of the test. Thus, the upper limit for characters remains at level 15, which now significantly more players should be able to reach.
However, you can use the time to create more characters and try out the various classes in turn. Then the choice won’t be so hard when Classic finally launches in just over 2 weeks.
By the way, there will be no German RP realms at launch.
Respawn in starting areas will be increased: At the same time, Blizzard discovered a bug. The respawn times in the starting areas (like Northshire or Teldrassil) are not correct. Enemies take too long to respawn.
With patch 1.12, the spawn time of enemies was already dynamically adjusting to the number of players in the area. This will be fixed. However, in later zones, it is quite normal for the respawn to be slower, and you have to compete with other players for the mobs (or form a group).
Will you be grinding WoW Classic this weekend? Or would you rather wait for the launch before diving back into “the old” Azeroth?
