[Update]: Burning Crusade Classic is launching on June 1st, and the pre-patch on May 18th!

If you've explored everything World of Warcraft Classic has to offer and you're now itching for 'new' and interesting challenges, I'm happy to say I bring some good news on that front. The 'soon' Blizzard was talking about throughout BlizzCon Online has now arrived, and with it the start of the Burning Crusade Classic beta!

Before you get too excited, it is important to mention that the beta is currently extremely limited, though Blizzard will be adding more players throughout the upcoming weeks and months. So if you haven't gotten your email just yet, don't despair as you'll have plenty of chances to get in and see what's up.

Much like all of the previous beta tests, in order to have a chance at getting in you will need to opt into the beta test over at the World of Warcraft website. It's a very quick and simple process, though you will need an active World of Warcraft account in order to not only play the beta, but sign up for it as well.

Good luck with your beta key, and just in case you haven't already seen it, I'll leave you with the Burning Crusade Classic deep dive from BlizzCon Online. Enjoy!
