Firelands Timewalking is now available for testing on the 8.2.5 PTR. It will remain open for testing until Monday 10 AM PDT.
You may assemble a raid group of between 10 and 30 players, travel to Orgrimmar or Stormwind City, and speak with Vormu to access a Timewalking version of the Firelands raid.
Please use this thread for feedback and bug reports regarding any encounters, or related issues. Noting the nature of your group (Mythic guild premade, PUG, etc.) is helpful, as are any logs. Thank you to everyone who has come out to help test!
Okay, to help our techs and engineers be appraised of the situation I would recommend eventually posting in our tech support forum if you haven't done so already. Of note, it'll be helpful for us to know if you've tried to troubleshoot this (if so, what steps?) and also to know whether this persists after your interface has been reset. Ty!
Based on name reservations so far, the Herod realm is looking to be massively overpopulated. If all existing players on this server remain there, login queues in excess of 10,000 players are a certainty, and possibly much higher than that.
We recently opened up the Stalagg realm, and we urge players on Herod to consider moving there. There are a lot of players currently on Herod and we want Stalagg to fill up before we open any new PvP realms. This is so that player population is spread as evenly as possible before launch, in order to provide the best play experience.
While we are able to fit several times more players on a single realm in 2019 than was the case in 2006, we are not going to raise that cap any further, even though we have the technical capacity to do so. Raising realm caps would simply forestall the problem, letting more players in at launch but creating an unsustainable situation down the line, with severe queues when we turn off layering permanently before Phase 2 of our content unlock plan.
Please also note that our realm population estimates of Low, Medium, High, and Full are based on this increased capacity – a Medium realm today already has more characters on it than even the most crowded realms did back in 2006.
Our top priority in planning for WoW Classic’s launch has been ensuring that we are laying the groundwork for strong realm communities that will endure over the months and years to follow, which is why we’re cautiously opening new servers to meet demand.
You voted, we listened! We're in for quite a BOOM this weekend! Explosive and Necrotic will be the affixes for our… https://t.co/upKedJLmdH

Greetings!
Throughout the beta and stress testing period over the past three months, thousands of players have returned to the Azeroth that was to help us prepare for the WoW Classic global launch on August 27th, 2019. Throughout this process we’ve received thousands of detailed bug reports from dedicated beta and stress testers. We felt that it was important to close the loop on all of your diligent efforts, and try to give you an idea on just how much of an impact you’ve had on helping to make this the best version of WoW Classic that it could be.
In the first reply below you will find a list of bugs that we’ve fixed in the past three months that were reported to us by players like you during the various WoW Classic stress tests and closed beta. Some of these issues were previously known to us, but many were not, and we wanted to thank each and every one of you for your efforts in helping us identify and fix these bugs.
Please note that while this list is large, it is not comprehensive. This does not include every single one of the issues that was reported by players or fixed during this period. There are also other bugs with fixes that are still in testing, and as such are not listed.
Thank you for helping us prepare for the launch of WoW Classic. See you in Azeroth!

Hi Cleavis,
Thank you for your detailed analysis on this! We also took a look at this on the reference client, and this behavior is consistent with 1.12 and as such is not considered to be a bug. I’ll go ahead and get this added to the Not A Bug list as well.
