WoW: Forever Beta Gets More Time as Players Mourn Hunter Pets

The beta test for World of Warcraft: Forever has been extended until this Friday, giving early players a few more days to try the build before it closes. For testers who were hoping to get more time in, the extension is good news, and many of them have said as much.

The mood is not uniformly upbeat. Some players are mourning the loss of their hunter pets, which have long been one of the class's defining features. For those players, the beta is a reminder of how much a familiar companion can matter to the way they play, and the reaction shows how closely the community is tied to the class's identity.

The extension itself is the clearest news so far. Full details about what the extra days cover, and how the pet situation will be handled going forward, are still limited. Players who want to share feedback on either point have until the test ends on Friday to do so, and anything further from the development team will be worth watching for in the coming days.
