World of Warcraft: Legion beta is now live

Update: Beta realms are currently of questionable stability. Not only is there a short queue to log in, but players are reporting repeated disconnects. Battle.net as a whole appears to be undergoing some instability, likely related to the beta rush.

We’re looking into connection issues across various games & BNet now. Thank you for the reports.

The World of Warcraft: Legion beta has officially begun. As this first phase of beta is specifically intended to be a stress test of introductory content in Legion, time will tell how long servers will hold up — they may crush and burn within moments, they may be just fine. We’ll soon know.

Whether you’re in the beta or not, check out the latest version of the Legion patch notes. And remember, World of Warcraft beta phases are primetime for phishing scams. Keep yourself safe!
