The PTR will be shutdown today at 2:00PM PST. We wanted to thank everyone who participated in the test and provided us feedback and bug reports. We look forward to seeing you all in game.

GETS LOCKED BECAUSE IT IS ALL IN CAPS. TITLE AND EVERYTHING!!

LETS SEE HOW DEVOTED THE DEVS ARE TO OUR SOON TO BE GONE OT FORUM.

FECK THE SYSTEM.

At no point did we state that your actions on these forums will have no consequences on the new forums. Based on this, a number of participants in this thread will find they have received a ban or suspension on the new forums for showing a complete disregard for Blizzard\'s forum guidelines.

Were just about two weeks out from the official global launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm! And with that, the time has come to conclude the beta test. The beta realms are now closed. We want to sincerely thank all of you for your dedication to testing, providing feedback, reporting bugs, and everything else youve done to help us make this expansion the best World of Warcraft title to date.

Stay tuned to our new community site (http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/) for the latest news and updates as we get closer to release. Well see you in Cataclysm!

Raids have been closed on the beta for a few days, but I wanted to mention that this is intentional. We\'ve received a tremendous amount of feedback, logs, and comments over the last several weeks. This is quite appreciated!

We might have a focus test or two for a particular boss before Cataclysm goes live, but the unlimited raid testing phase is concluded.

There have been rumors on this topic since the day is drawing near.

There\'s green poster saying that rested xp will be rest as you upgrade your account/the launch day, while it will again accumulate afterwards.

So what\'s the real deal here?

Rested experience will be reset at launch. You will start at 0 rested.

Good evening. I would like to ask, if it\'s possible to transfer somehow my persons from Russian account to a Europe one?
The problem is, that the quality of Russian servers and support is disgusting. Russian technical support just ignore all our questions and problems. No one answer in-game tickets for days and weeks, the same thing is in forums. Technical service every wednesday delayed for many hours.
When I was playing on the Europe server for 3 years, I didn\'t know any of this problems (i didn\'t even know, what is high latency). But just when I transfered to a RU realm, the game became a big disappointment and headache. All our nerves are on it\'s limit=(

So, please, Blizzard, make us a small present and let us transfer to Europe realms. Thousand of players will even pay for it, just because all russian situation is very unpleasant.
Still, thank you.

Moving this to the Suggestions forum.

This Wednesday, November 17 these forums will be put into a read-only state. At that time we\'ll be inviting all posters to fully migrate to the new World of Warcraft community site and forums.

http://www.battle.net/wow

These forums will remain read-only until the end of the month, after which they and all of their posts will be removed ... forever! If you have any posts, information, stickies, etc. that you\'d like to keep you\'ll want to have finished saving it before then.

We\'ve all enjoyed the past few years on these forums, and look forward to creating many more with you on the new community site. See you there!

Update -

We\'re still hammering out some last minute issues, so the new forums aren\'t quite ready for prime time use just yet. We\'re working day to day to see when we can transition to the new site, so putting these forums as read-only could happen any time between tomorrow and early next week.

Consider it a standing warning that these forums will go read-only soon™.

All forums are now read only. We\'ll see you over at the new site!

We are currently experiencing some issues with the login services for the PTR.

Maintenance will be extended until further notice.
