Second Stress Test Scheduled for June 25 in the Mists of Pandaria Beta
Luxrah • Published June 25, 2025
Blizzard has scheduled a second stress test for the Mists of Pandaria Beta to take place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM PDT on June 25th. Following the first stress test last week, the developers were able to pinpoint some issues and are looking to repeat that success.
Once again anyone will be able to log onto the Cataclysm Classic Public Test Realm, even if you do not have an invitation to the Mists of Pandaria Beta, where level 85 character templates and live server character copies will be made available at the test’s start time. At 2:50 PM PDT, quests will become available. The idea is to simulate the expansion launch experience with everyone heading to Pandaria at once to begin leveling.

Our first stress test helped us identify several critical issues, so we’re planning to host another stress test for MoP Classic on Wednesday, June 25 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. PDT.
Once again, during this time time, we’re asking as many players as possible to join us on the Mists of Pandaria Classic PTR to help simulate launch conditions. Level 85 templates, character copies, and all classes and races will be accessible.
Testers may begin gathering and setting up characters at 2:00 p.m. PDT, and starting quests will become active at 2:50 p.m. PDT. Thereafter, you can storm Pandaria and give us lots of data about how the transports are doing! If you encounter any issues during the test, please submit them using the in-game bug reporting tool.
This stress test will be available to all players, regardless of your previous Beta access, and like last time– there will be shenanigans.
Thank you!
