In order to evaluate World of Warcraft's account-creation process and server performance under heavy loads, Blizzard will be conducting a seven-day stress test beta in the days ahead. This test will require over 100,000 players to download the World of Warcraft stress test beta client, create an account, and log on to play when the test goes live!
To make the client available for download to such a large audience, we have partnered with FilePlanet, GameSpy's Web-based file-delivery service.
Users posting on our Battle.net World of Warcraft Forums have identified some error messages that *certain* users may encounter with the Fileplanet *stress test* file. If you have been accepted into the stress test and are receiving an error stating that the archive is corrupt or that *no installer data could be found,* please see our Fileplanet Stress Test Issues thread for solutions. We will continue to post issues and solutions there as they are brought to our attention. Please note that these issues do not apply to current players in our continuing *beta test.*
**note**
File Planet subscribed users will get first priority(stupid) and non-subscribed users are currently unable to sign up(also stupid). More at www.worldofwarcraft.com
