We don’t like giving exact times on our end because some people will do everything possible from the opening minutes but most people won’t. We mention in the latest Dev Insight video that if you are regularly playing it’ll take a few weeks:

I’m enjoying the discussion on this information, keep is going (and within limits please).

Also just linking to the bookmark on class design:

I know late parts of videos can get buried at times, so I just wanted to link straight to the Classic portion and deliver the message that we are making great progress, your feedback has been so important in this process, and we are getting closer and closer to the release in August. Cheers all!

Since this thread has a gone a bit off the rails, I’m going to lock it. Please ensure you follow the rules or actions will need to be taken. Thanks folks.

I’m seeing a lot of people logging into Northshire so we are getting there folks. Keep rocking!

We thank all of you for the massive interest in WoW Classic. I know it’s hard to believe but everybody who has been logging in and hitting the queue is helping us to find and fix a variety of issues. Please continue logging in if you can and thanks again for your help with this stress test.

Stay there and it should go through if it’s working.

Wait, how did you find this out…?

[This is a joke.]

Just reminding everybody that the next WoW Classic stress test is happening tomorrow/Wednesday at 2:00pm PDT, the full details are in the original thread: WoW Classic Stress Test on May 29

Your characters are looking forward to seeing you again and we thank you for your continued support!

And for those who keep checking this thread:

We’ve been trying to figure out this elusive bug for months now, and it was your comment that led us to the root cause. In particular, the combination of how the tracking would drop for people part way into the fight while others recommended interrupting all of the knockbacks to receive quest credit seemed bizarre b...

We are aware of an issue that prevented the daily and weekly honor calculation process from running and currently investigating it.

I don’t know for sure at this point, if there is a wipe we’ll aim to let people know next week.

The stress test realms are only up at certain times but remember, there is another one next week: WoW Classic Stress Test on May 29

Considering you’re about to be hanging out with the spirit healer there… yes, it does. =D

Were you invited to the closed beta or the stress test?

… like… on a vacation… on a beach…?

Just reminding folks to keep things calm.

We have just wrapped up the first stress test for WoW Classic and while we understand the concerns that a number of you have mentioned, it helped us in many ways. Testing the login process is certainly an aspect that is very important for us to explore and we did gather some valuable data yesterday, so we appreciate everybody who logged in or even attempted to do so during the testing window – you have helped us prepare WoW Classic for release.

That said, because of some of the issues that were encountered, we were not able to test other aspects that we’d planned for. As a result, we will be doing another stress test on Wednesday, May 29 from 2-4pm PDT. The stress test realm will become available at 2pm PDT and the level cap will be increased to 10. For access, we will be including everybody who was invited to the test on May 22.
