Blizzard Entertainment has rescheduled a stress test of World of Warcraft: Forever. The event has been postponed to October 21, 2024, from the initially announced date. Therefore, there will be a delay before players can try out the game on regional servers that will be used to officially launch the game. This means that for those who purchased the game, the time has come to pass a test for server stability in the game by testing it at the pre-release stage.

Blizzard shifts the stress test to October 21 to use final regional servers

The stress test of the game will start at 8:00 PM Moscow time on October 21. It will start with the closure of the existing WoW Forever beta environment. Then the game will be released on the final regional servers. Such an approach will allow them to see the load in the same way as it will be at the official game launch.

World of Warcraft: Forever will officially be released on November 5, 2026. Currently, pre-orders are open. For those who pre-order the game, there are 3 bonus sets for early buyers. They will make the game even more interesting for the players before the official launch.

We've looked at the last update to World of Warcraft: Forever. We see a similar trend of balancing the game and ensuring its stability. Now we see that Blizzard is putting more emphasis on the readiness of its servers before the official launch of the game. They are improving the infrastructure of the game for its official launch.
