How To Get Access To 'The War Within' Beta

Blizzard Entertainment's long-lasting legendary MMORPG "World of Warcraft" is seeing its tenth expansion launch later this year. Players eager to try it out before it launches, however, can do so by playing in the 'The War Within' beta test, beginning on June 5.

There are two ways to gain entry into the beta. You can either opt-in for beta access and hope you get selected or you can prepurchase the epic edition of 'The War Within' to get guaranteed access to the beta.

The only guaranteed way of getting beta access without being a noteworthy content creator or prominent member of the media, is to preorder the epic edition of The War Within. The epic edition is most expensive edition you can buy, costing $89.99 USD.

As you can see above, there are three different versions you can purchase. Buying the epic edition of The War Within is the only way to guarantee beta access. If you're curious about what else the epic edition comes with or what the heroic edition comes with you can see a chart on Blizzard's website, just simply click the pre-purchase button and it'll show you the chart. You can also view the same chart within the Battle.net launcher by visiting The War Within's store page.

To opt-in for a chance of gaining access to the beta, you need to visit The War Within's page on Blizzard's site. From there, simply sign into your account and click the big "BETA OPT-IN" button on the right side of the screen; next to the preorder button.

After you've clicked that button, your account is now opted into the beta and every time Blizzard does an invite wave over the course of the beta, you have a chance of being selected.
