Novedades con el Test Realm

Hoy han actualizado WoW-Europe con un montón de novedades, pero entre ellas hay que destacar las que han decidido poner en los test realm. Son las siguientes:

- Nuevo test realm. Debido a las quejas de los usuarios al haber un solo servidor de test para todos los usuarios de europe, lo que generaba grandes colas, han anunciado la apertura de un nuevo test realm.

- Limitada la copia de personajes al test realm a Jueves y Viernes. Las razones que han puesto son que tienen mucho lio con la preparación del E3 y por tanto no pueden estar manteniendo el sistema de copia  de personajes

- La battleground de Alterac Valley ha sido temporalmente desactivada, la razón que dan es que opinan que la gente ya la ha testeado bastante y necesitan que mas gente pruebe la de Warsong Gulch, de esta forma desvían los usuarios a esta otra Battleground. No obstante volverá a ser abierta el fin de semana.

Podéis ver las transcripciones en inglés a estas noticias en el interior de la noticia.

Nuevo servidor de test

Yesterday we reached the full number of testers desired for the first Public Test Realm and closed the Character Copy pages.
Due to the high interest in testing the upcoming patch we’ve decided to open a second Public Test Realm for European players.
This realm is now online and we look forward to welcoming more players to have a first look at the Battlegrounds and other features of the next patch.

The second test realm will have the same restrictions as the first one with regards to eligible accounts:
Only World of Warcraft accounts that have been active since April 15 are currently eligible to participate in the public test realm. If your account was not active during this time, you will not be able to log in to the test realms. In addition, accounts created after May 9, are not eligible to participate on the public test realm. Please note that the test realms will be updated each week during this public testing phase, so check back next week to see if your account is eligible to participate in this round of testing.

Everyone who is eligible has a total of 3 copies for public testing.

You will not be able to copy again once you have used up your 3 copies.

This means, if you already copied 1 character to the first Test Realm, you now have 2 copies left.

This limit will be reset for the next phase of public testing.

Please note:
Anyone who copies characters will be copying to Public Test Realm 2 only.

You will be able to see both servers in the realm select page, but will only be able to play on the server you actually copied characters to.

Limitada la creación de personajes a jueves y viernes

Update May 19th:
Character copies to the test realms will be enabled today (19th) and tomorrow (20th) between 03:00 and 16:00.

Update:
Character copies to the public test realms have been temporarily disabled until Saturday of this week. The public test realms should not be affected by the downtime.
Players who have already copied characters also should not be affected by this maintenance. We apologise to players who have not yet copied their characters over and would like to remind everyone that character copying to the public test realms will be re-enabled on Sunday. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Character copies to the public test realms will be temporarily disabled between Thursday and Saturday of this week. The public test realms will not be affected by the downtime, and players who have already copied characters will not be affected by this maintenance. For those players who have not yet done so, please copy characters prior to the downtime; otherwise, character copying to the public test realms will be re-enabled on Sunday. We thank you for your patience.

There was a misunderstanding about the timing of this, suspected to be a mix-up of time zones (the US and Europe offices being 9 hours apart, but which way...) in the E3 preparation stress. Unfortunately we couldn't reverse the closing at this stage, and can only apologize for giving no prior warning and giving incorrect info at first.

Desactivación de Alterac Valley

The Alterac Valley Battleground has been disabled in order to gather more feedback on the Warsong Gulch Battleground.

Alterac Valley will be re-enabled this weekend.

We'd like to thank you all for helping us test Battlegrounds. We are already implementing new features (the join as group feature, which will allow players to enter battlegrounds in a pre-made group) and changes based on your testing and feedback.
