Yeah that's legit too.
I've been doing the opposite and spending 4-5 hours a day grinding classes to level 20 on a private server to pass the time, lol. I'm gonna be tired of all the starting zones by the time classic actually launches.
I did the same things for weeks too, but since it's less than a month away I'm not doing it right now. Instead I'm playing warcraft 3 RoC and FT again to get back into it like I did before I touched WoW that many years ago.
I never played warcraft 3. Maybe I should do that for the next few weeks instead.
Do it! The Warcraft 3 events lead directly to the launch of WoW! Plus, is you buy the remastered edition for W3, you get a free copy of the (old) Warcraft 3 + Frozen Throne expansion that you can download now.
At the same time I don't feel like it is that good idea for me to participate in the final stress test as I don't wanna take the freshness from it.
Understandable, though for most vets it's all old content that's there for the nostalgia trip.
Stresstest gonna be amazing! Warg :p
I mean in 12 days we can reserve our names and in 26days we can finally play!!!
I think they will announce server names along with the stress date info. And I hope they don't postpone launch date because it seems that if some nasty bugs arises in the last stress test it doesn't seem they have a lot of time to squash them
So you need an ongoing subscription in order to participate I suppose.
It's still incredible that Blizzard really thinks they will get an accurate number from these tests when they have such a ridiculous requirement to participate. Most people that wanna play classic don't have a sub.
I dont think they suppose they will get accurate number of players but rather to simulate launch and see how many players the servers can take.

just done this! currently going on holiday for a week saturday, got 3 books to read as well as the well chronicals before classic launch!
Holiday, Bloodstock, Name creation. HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
BTW I do not have the subscription right now and do not have the drop down option to install classic. I'm from EU. Hopefully it will show soon, would like to have it downloaded already. :smile:
The last stress test before the actual launch was in early November 2004, a few weeks before launch, so I guess this is in keeping with tradition.
My thinking was that for the last stress test, they really wanted to have most of the major bugs (especially the hunter issues) ironed out or at least in a better place to keep people from completely freaking out on the last time we see the game before launch, hence the sudden cancellation of the 7/26 test without a new date announced. I'm optimistic, but, you know, fingers crossed.

I haven't subscribed either, yet I do have the option to download Classic.
