>Dear Players!

We know you have all been eager to see what is hiding behind that ominous countdown, and our green fiery friends taking over the website. Public testing for Legion will begin in 7 days!

If you've been following along our development journey, you probably already knew what was coming, but in order to prepare you, we've put together this list about what to expect on the new Public Test Realm.

The first step is to get our launcher, available on the main page of the website. It's a must for Legion, and you won't be able to play without it, even when we launch. The Legion client is already downloadable, although you won't be able to login until March 12, 06:00 Server Time - when the timer ends.

The realm is STILL IN ALPHA state, meaning there are still things to be implemented, and plenty of bugs to notice and fix. We decided to open it so you can see how it is coming together, and help us testing it to improve everybody's experience. Click here -> legion_info to see the list of available content.

If you actually want to help us improve the game, please use bug_report to report the issues you found. If you are unsure about how to do it, check the other reports for formality and what we expect to see in one. Remember, we only accept retail evidence and documentation as a valid source. Don't try to compare this to any other private server.

There are some standard things missing, for example - You'll only be able to loot quest items for now, nothing else - But don't worry, these things are mostly easy and faster to implement than what is currently being worked on. From this point forward, most of the changes will be more visible with each week.

We would like to release the prepatch and first content tier this year, but we're not ready to disclose the actual release date just yet.

If you want to chat about the PTR, we have brought back our old MoP PTR channel - public-test-realm - to continue the discussion about Legion.

THIS REALM IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING, NOTHING CAN BE CONSIDERED FINAL, AND NONE OF YOUR PROGRESSION OR CHARACTERS WILL BE SAVED.

Thank you @everyone for your continued interest in our project, we will keep you updated on any future developments.
