WoW Forever Beta Stats Are Live: How Blizzard's Timewalking Page Works, What It Tracks, and What the Percentiles Mean

Blizzard's Beta Timewalking page at timewalking.blizzard.com gives every WoW Forever tester a personal recap: hours, characters, levels, quests, jumps, the mob that killed you most, and stranger stats, each with a percentile and a four-stat share card. How to get yours, what is left out, and how to read the numbers.

THE WOW FOREVER COLLECTION · DISPATCH · RESEARCH CHECKED OCTOBER 25, 2026

Short answer: go to timewalking.blizzard.com, click "Log in and Timewalk", sign in with the Battle.net account you tested on, and accept the data consent prompt. You get a personal recap of your five weeks in the WoW Forever beta: hours played, characters, levels, quests, jumps, the mob that killed you most, and a handful of odder counters, each with a percentile. At the bottom you can pick any four of them and build a share image. Nothing you did in the October 21 stress test is counted, and nothing on the page carries into launch.

The page went up on October 23, the day the beta closed. Blizzard didn't write a news post for it. Kaivax's thank-you post on the forums doesn't mention it either. Word spread through creators and fan sites: MrGM linked it on X at 16:21 UTC with his own card attached, and Icy Veins and Warcraft Tavern both had write-ups the same afternoon. Blizzard usually sends beta testers a stats email a few days after a test ends. This time the numbers are on a website, and they're public enough to post.

How to get your recap

  1. Open timewalking.blizzard.com. The landing page says "We found some cool stats for you. Log in to check them out."
  2. Click Log in and Timewalk and sign in with the Battle.net account you played the beta on. If you have more than one account, or you got in through a friend's invite code on a second account, make sure you pick the right one, or the page will have nothing to show.
  3. Accept the consent prompt. The wording: "By consenting, you agree that Blizzard may use your account, gameplay, and transaction data for the purpose of generating and displaying statistical information. Blizzard will retain and use such information for this purpose until the end of this service." Decline it and the page can't generate anything.

The "What is this?" button on the landing page is the closest thing to an official explanation. Blizzard calls it "a fun application to see some interesting personalized statistics from the World of Warcraft: Forever Beta," and adds the one caveat that matters: "This does not include the Stress Test. Data is tricky, but we've done our best to make sure your stats are accurate." So if you only played on October 21, when the stress test ran on the launch hardware, expect an empty page. The regular beta ran on separate realms from September 17 to October 23, and that's the data set.

What it tracks

We can't log into every tester's account, so this list comes from the cards that players and fan sites have posted since Thursday. Not everyone sees every card; the page seems to pick the ones you have data for.

AreaStats reported
TimeHours played, characters played, most played class, most played zone
ProgressLevels gained, quests completed, bosses killed
CombatNPC nemesis (the enemy that killed you most), PvP nemesis, PvP killing blows
MovementYards traveled, jumps
Professions and lootGathering actions, items crafted, chests looted, fish caught, clams opened, okra gathered
The odd onesBoars killed, bug reports filed, camping companions, "social countries", encounters with Dwarf Shamans and Undead Paladins

The jumps card carries Blizzard's best joke on the page: "Spacebar thoroughly stress-tested. Beta feedback: it works." Camping companions counts the people you shared a campfire with, which is the stat Blizzard clearly wants you to brag about, since the whole camping system exists to make strangers sit down together. The Dwarf Shaman and Undead Paladin cards, as reported, are a nod to the new race and class combos that caused the loudest arguments of the beta's first week.

Reading the percentiles

Every number comes with a percentile, and that's where people are getting confused. MrGM's card is a clean example:

StatHis numberPercentile
Hours played9784th
Characters played2899th
Levels gained9289th
Jumps40,78090th

84th percentile on hours means roughly 84 percent of the comparison group played less than 97 hours. It doesn't mean he's in the top 84 percent, and it doesn't mean 84 percent of anything else. Each stat has its own distribution, so a 99th on characters and an 84th on hours aren't competing with each other. Blizzard doesn't say how big the comparison group is, whether it's everyone who logged in or only people who played a certain amount, or how ties are handled. A 100th percentile label is the top of the chart, but several players report hitting it with numbers that others have beaten, so treat it as "top bracket" rather than "first place".

The numbers people are posting are the fun part. Players have shared cards claiming 400,854 jumps, 433 hours played alongside 3,211 quests, and 17,238 items crafted. Those are screenshots from strangers, not anything Blizzard has confirmed, so file them under plausible. For scale, 433 hours over a 36-day beta is twelve hours a day, every day.

The share card

Scroll to the bottom of your recap for the customizer. You choose up to four stats, drag them into the order you want, and toggle Show BattleTag on or off. Then Save Image downloads a tall card, or Share hands it to whatever your browser offers. The card is branded "Your Journey Through Beta" with the Forever logo, and the footer reads "Adventure is Forever. Launching 11/4."

Check the BattleTag toggle before you post. The tag is your account identifier, and plenty of cards on X and the forums have it showing, which is harmless but not something everyone wants attached to a 400,000-jump confession.

What it isn't

It isn't a record of anything you keep. The beta characters were deleted on October 23, and Blizzard has said repeatedly that nothing transfers: not names, gold, gear or profession skill. The recap is a souvenir. It also isn't permanent. The consent text says the data is kept "until the end of this service" and gives no date, so if you want the card, save it now rather than assuming the page will be there in a year.

It also isn't tied to the in-game Statistics pane, which tracked per-character records inside the client. That pane went away with the characters. The website works from account-level data, per its own consent text, which is why "characters played" and "most played class" exist as stats at all.

What comes next

The beta page is a small thing, but it's the first of the launch-week drip. Kaivax's farewell post said the team is spending "a few short days" on priority fixes and the service itself before name reservation and character creation open on October 27, with the podcast continuing next week. Launch is November 4 at 3:00 p.m. PST. If you tested, grab your card. If you didn't, the beta page has the full history of what happened in those five weeks, and the hub has everything you need for the first character that actually counts.
