Testers made 8.8 million characters in the beta
Blizzard has published the numbers of the beta of World of Warcraft: Forever. Testers created 8,862,354 characters and scored 9,959,014 PvP kills. The Hall of Thanes was the deadliest dungeon, and the Kobold Miner the deadliest creature.
The numbers appeared on X on 30 October, a week after the beta closed.
All nine numbers
| Statistic | Result |
|---|---|
| Characters created | 8,862,354 |
| PvP kills | 9,959,014 |
| Skyborne | 1,889,084 |
| Duels fought | 1,248,125 |
| Deaths from falling | 1,157,204 |
| Forsaken Paladins | 612,096 |
| Deadliest dungeon | The Hall of Thanes |
| Deadliest creature | Kobold Miner |
| Zone with the most PvP | Hillsbrad Foothills |
If the Skyborne and Forsaken Paladin figures count characters, about one in five characters was a Skyborne and about 7% a Forsaken Paladin. The card does not say so explicitly. Falling killed almost as many characters as there were duels.
The Hall of Thanes is a dungeon for levels 13 to 18, one of the first that players run. Blizzard does not give a death count for it or for the Kobold Miner.
How many players made those characters is not known. Testers can still look up their own numbers on the personal statistics page, as far as Blizzard keeps it online. WoW Forever launches on 5 November at 00:00 Belgian time.
