The alpha version of World of Warcraft: The War Within is now live. If you were one of the lucky few who got an invite to the first phase of testing, you'll notice that not everything can be tested at once.
The Story So Far | Prepare for The War Within
It's not typical for Blizzard to test the entire expansion from the start, but there's still a fair amount of content available for alpha players to sink their teeth into in the earliest external version of The War Within.
In the first build of the WoW The War Within alpha version, the maximum level is 73.
We expect this number to increase as time goes on and more content from the new expansion becomes available for testing. The actual level cap in The War Within is 80, meaning that roughly a third of the content you encounter in the leveling process will be available right from the start in the alpha.
