World Of Warcraft: Open Beta - New Patch & Major Announcement

The development team has completed another patch for the Open Beta. Simply log in to begin the download process.

The beta will end when the servers go down on Thursday, November 18th. Characters and accounts will NOT be saved.

Before the retail version of the code can be installed, the current hardware must be wiped clean. This also includes the information on current accounts and characters that are being played on our test servers. So that all World of Warcraft players will be able to make a fresh start on our community site at launch, the same procedure will be taking place for the North American beta forums when the open beta test ends.
