What to Expect in the Beta
The War Within beta offers players an extensive preview of what the upcoming expansion has in store. Participants gain early access to a significant portion of the new content, months ahead of the expected release date. This includes a comprehensive leveling experience across four fresh zones, four dungeons designed for leveling, and an additional four dungeons tailored for max-level players.
Excitingly, players can also test the waters with the new Earthen race, explore warbands and delves, delve into professions, and engage in a new battleground. While raid testing is slated for a later stage, the follower dungeon feature is readily available, allowing players to traverse dungeons with NPC companions if they lack a dedicated group.
