WoW Forever beta level 30 is over: what changes at level 60

The beta is over

The beta opened on September 17 with a level 20 cap, raised to 30 on October 1 (early October 2 in Europe). Extended past October 21, it closed on October 23 at 10:00 a.m. PDT. Level 30 is no longer a cap to unlock: there is no beta realm left to play on.

Blizzard has announced no transfer of beta characters to the live game; plan to recreate yours. Character creation reopens on October 27 with name reservation.

What the level 30 beta showed

These points describe the beta. We found no launch notes as of October 24: treat them as the last tested values, not as a promise for November 4.

The level 30 phase opened Excavation Site: Wetlands (26–31), Razorfen Downs (access from 25) and Uldaman (access from 30). Dalaran joined the tested dungeons on October 8 with an announced range of 28–33; Blizzard clarified on October 9 that full Horde access to the city was unintended.

On XP, Blizzard cut the extra dungeon-quest XP beyond normal quest values by 50%, then raised dungeon creature XP by approximately 20% on October 8. A vastly overleveled member can still remove XP for the group.
