Before the Storm
The highlights of this patch include the new Looking for Group system, talent updates for all classes, and a revamp of the Honor System. Read the Before the Storm test realm patch notes(http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/testrealm.html) to learn more.
Players who had an active account as of November 13th, 2006, can participate in the test realms. To copy a character and download the test realm game client, visit our Public Test Realm(http://www.wow-europe.com/ptr/) page, after reading our Test Realm F.A.Q(http://www.wow-europe.com/en/ptr/).
Please note:
The login servers used for the closed beta are shared with those used for the Public Test Realms which are currently active for the 2.0.1 patch. Because of this you will be able to see the 2.0.1 PTR realms through your closed beta client.
We ask those of you in the closed beta that you do not use your closed beta client to log in to the 2.0.1 PTR realms. Doing so will cause many problems, crashes, and anomalies that may be mistaken for errors in the 2.0.1 test.
Unfortunately closed beta testers will be unable to log in through the 2.0.1 client due to the settings on their accounts that allow them access to the closed beta realms. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may cause.
Small addition: The content currently showing on the PTR pages is not showing the actual PTR content. We'll be updating this this evening.
