It's one of the largest zones in WoW to date

Blizzard announced that the first phase of the WoTLK Gold beta test will begin today, on July 14 2022. It is the World of Warcraft expansion's alpha will allow players to explore the brand-new Azure Span zone, plays as the Dracthyr Evoker and ride dragons and test out new interface improvements.

The Azure Span is located in a tundra zone, and is populated by the humanoid Walrus Tuskarr Blue dragons, gnolls, and Furbolg. It's part of the expansion's Dragon Isles, and is in the style of The Redwoods of California, along with the original WoW zone Grizzly Hills. It's one of the largest zones in WoW to date and offers the most drastic elevation changes.

The alpha also lets players test both massive and small gameplay adjustments. Blizzard has confirmed that the only Dracthyr class available currently is the Evoker but it is possible to support more classes in the future. Other class announcements, the Alpha will allow players to experience modifications that will affect the Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, Priest, and Rogue classes, such as the updated talent trees. Players will also find out about adjustments to the alchemy and blacksmithing professions. These include new crafting stations as well as professional equipment.

If you've been approved for beta access Your Battle.net account will have already been flagged. After that, it's simply an issue of selecting Dragonflight Alpha from the World of Warcraft game's version menu, letting it install and then clicking play.
