The Public Test Realm (PTR) is a special service you can use to test game updates before we release them to the public.

To create a WoW PTR account your World of Warcraft account must be Active (must have game-time). You can create your PTR account by visiting your Games & Subscription page.
If you receive an error when creating your account, contact us.
