You can test out the Midnight pre-launch event with members of the WoW dev team on the Midnight Prelaunch Event PTR realm on December 8!
On Monday, December 8, please join members of the World of Warcraft development team in the Twilight Highlands on the “Midnight Prelaunch Event” realm to playtest the upcoming Midnight pre-launch event, where we’ll learn more about the Twilight’s Blade with the help of Magister Umbric and Grand Magister Rommath.
The experience will begin with the quest “The Cult Within” in Stormwind if you’re Alliance or in Orgrimmar if you’re Horde, and will eventually lead all players to the Twilight Highlands in the Eastern Kingdoms. The event in the Twilight Highlands has a rapid cadence, and should appear in the Event tracker, which you can view by opening your Map and clicking on the Events tab that appears when the map is minimized.

On top of that, Blizzard’s testing Training Grounds, a new PvP mode intended to introduce players to PvP. Two maps will be available during testing: Arathi Basin and Battle for Gilneas.
On Monday, December 8, please join members of the World of Warcraft development team for some Midnight Beta PvP.
We’re playtesting Training Grounds, which is a new PvP gamemode aimed at helping introduce PvP to new players. This mode pairs players against combat bots, with the goal of allowing players an easier on ramp into learning both PvP combat and the battleground maps that it supports.
We’ll get underway at 3:00 p.m. PST (6:00 p.m. EST).
To playtest this with us, log onto the endgame Realm “Xal’atath’s Endgame”, where you’ll find max-level character templates and access to various vendors. To queue up, open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i), click on the Player vs. Player tab at the bottom, select Training Grounds and click Join Battle.
The two maps currently available are Arathi Basin and Battle for Gilneas.
Before we get things rolling, we recommend taking some time to get your character setup properly for PvP combat. Please check out the various gear and profession vendors in Orgrimmar and Stormwind to use the latest trinkets, PvP gear, and class sets in Midnight.
We look forward to playtesting with you and reading your feedback afterward!
