- Expansion: Mists of Pandaria
The Mists of Pandaria Classic Beta has entered its fifth week of testing. Most of the expansion’s content is now available, including Challenge Mode Dungeons and the expansion’s two new battlegrounds, Temple of Kotmogu and Silvershard Mines. The promised test PvP season has also begun, and Dual Specializations have been fixed and implemented.
There are NPCs in each faction capital and each Shrine who can teleport you to a Challenge Mode dungeon. Mogu’shan Palace is not currently available for this mode on the Beta.
You’ll be able to earn rewards in the text PvP season, but they will only apply to your characters on the Beta realms and not live servers. On Tuesday, May 27th, you’ll be able to participate in a Brawl with the Blues event in which developers will be queuing for the two battlegrounds from 3-5 PM PDT.
