Demon Invasion Event Test, 9th June
Aerythlea / Community Manager
On Thursday, June 9, starting at 19:00 CEST, we will activate a new realm in the Legion Beta. This Beta realm will be named “Demon Invasion”, and it will be dedicated to testing the pre-expansion demon invasion event with as many testers as possible for approximately 24 hours. We expect to remove the realm after 24 hours.
We ask that all Beta testers please join us in focusing testing on the event realm throughout that 24 hours. While you may see demon invasions on other Beta realms, testing this content requires that your character remain at level 100, so we ask that you test on the “Demon Invasion” realm only.
Please direct your pre-Legion event feedback to the Beta General Discussion forum, and please direct any feedback you have about other Legion subjects to the appropriate dedicated subforum.
Thank you very much! We’ll see you at the defense of Azeroth!

This is posted on the EU side no US equivalent. I have to wonder why the short notice this time though.
Also, thank you to u/Genoce for providing that handy link last time.
Testing was pushed back to 2:00pm PDT, but it's active now. There are some significant issues with the event but, from what I understand, none of the issues should be crippling.
The demon invasion testing is taking place in the following zones:
- Hillsbrad Foothills
Azshara- Tanaris
- Dun Morogh
Westfall- Northern Barrens
.
Have fun all!

Edit: Finally found the US thread, dunno how I missed it.
Update: Demon Invasion testing is still inactive for some reason. Demon Invasion server has been removed the beta realm list.
Update #2: No change in status from prior update. I have to leave soon, but I'll be back in ~4½ hours to check on things.
Update #3: Back y'all. Thank you u/Crippled_Giraffe for the notice!
Update #4: Don't worry about the testing having ended early, folks. Blizzard is just restarting the server to deal with some bugs, flag the server from PvP to PvE, and lock out the Legion content areas on it.
Update #5: Due to the later starting time, testing has been extended to 2:00pm PDT tomorrow. (source)
Update #6: I've struck two zones from the list since they've never spawned their demon invasion.

Thanks for sharing this, I probably would've missed the announcement if you hadn't shared it. :)

Postponed until 2pm PST.
Still have some kinks I guess, but it's beta and it's also an improvement over the last time where they just canceled with no ETA for it to come back.

Along side with the "big news" coming later tonight I wouldn't be surprised this is the final test before the pre-patch is announced.
Me too. Blizzard really needs to spark some interest in WoW again during the draught before Legion, and launching the prepatch earlier than expected would definitely get more than a few resubs (especially from people not in beta) to try out the new changes and such.
That said, Blizz said the demon invasion realm would be up 40 minutes ago. The server was on the beta but unselectable. Looking right now, the server isn't even greyed out, it's just gone from the server list.
I was hoping it was a server restart (or even them changing it from a PvP server to PvE), but I'm beginning to think they've run into major problems again. =(
Well, it was functional yesterday on the beta servers - I just rolled a level 100 toon on over.
It was kind of fun (challenging as heck though, def not intended to be done solo for the most part... espc as a fury war)
There's also this really nasty glitch with the texturing or shadows or something - I kept seeing this giant green blob over all the world textures whenever I got close to a demon structure.
what ilvl? if its a tough solo at 700 then it will probably be rough on my low ilvl alts, but probably easy on my 720+ alts/main.
I've got 10 tokens ready to pop!
I'd be down to come back just for the wardrobe. New class gameplay is in pre-patch too, right?
Prepatch will have new class stuff, wardrobe, new talents, etc. I'm pretty sure what it won't have is DHs(they'll likely get patched in closer to release) and new honor talents (since those require 110).
It would be a disgrace to waste the hype of the movie by pulling in a bunch of excited new players for a dying game.
Definitely, especially with people itching to play after seeing the Warcraft film.
