《魔兽世界：永恒》10月19日开启压力测试

Developer Blizzard Entertainment is kicking off the WoW: Forever stress test on October 19. For a limited time, all interested players can sign into World of Warcraft: Forever and help the team put the servers through their paces. Anyone can take part and no subscription, Game Time, invitation, or beta access is required.

The beta will be taken offline shortly before the Stress Test begins and is expected to return shortly after it ends. The Stress Test runs on October 19 at the following times locally:

North America: 2:00 p.m. PDT
Europe: 19:00 CEST
Korea: 06:00 KST (October 20)
Taiwan: 05:00 CST (October 20)

How to Join the WoW: Forever Stress Test:

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
Open the Battle.net desktop app and allow it to update if needed.
Select World of Warcraft from the list of games.
In the Game Version menu above the Play button, select World of Warcraft: Forever Stress Test under In Development, then select Install.
Once installation is complete and the Stress Test begins, select Play and choose an available test realm.
Create a new test character when available, enter the game, and join the test.

“Bring your friends, rally your guild, and help us pack the server. At the end of the Stress Test, all created characters, names, and guilds will be wiped from the Stress Test servers in preparation for the beginning of Name Reservations opening on October 27. As a reminder, October 21 is the last full day of beta testing as we prepare for the global launch on November 4!”
