TBC Classic Beta Raid Testing Next Week

Furious • Updated May 23, 2025

Kaivax has announced raid testing for the Burning Crusade Classic beta starting next week starting with phase 1 raids: Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, and Magtheridon’s Lair each opening on successive days starting with the 13th.

This will be done on a new beta realm created with template characters just for getting into the raids to facilitate testing without having to worry about gearing.
