* Patch 1.22 test server online
After testing the patch by a small group, Blizzard announced a few hours ago that the patch will go online for public testing later this week. Blizzard community manager 
Karune announced a few hours ago that the Developer team is preparing Test server for public testing. In order to do so you have to upgrade your game version to test the patch.
After the patch is final you have to downgrade back to 1.21b and upgrade to the final version 1.22. They will also gather feedback on their forums if you got any suggestions or bugs to report.
Follows the full update on the patch:
| "The Dev Team is now preparing test servers with the patch that will be available for testing by the public. In order to jump on these servers, you will have to upgrade your version of the game to the test patch. Upon completion of the testing on the public test server, those participating will have to downgrade their version of the game back to the latest retail patch. We will also be using Battle.net forums to gather feedback and bug reports from the community. Exact location of this forum is still to be determined." |
UPDATE:
Blizzard's Community Manager "Karune" posted an update on the new WarcraftIII 1.22 Test server. It will be, as guessed by the community again, the Westfall Test Server which served already as a testserver for various previous patches. For more information read the full post and changelog below:
| The Dev Team is ready to launch the public test servers today. Westfall Test Server - When players select the PTR in their server list, they will then be able to log in and update their client to patch 1.22. When players select a different server, their client will automatically patch back to 1.21b. [waiting for server live confirmation from development] April 1st, 2008 - Unfortunately, there has been last minute issues that will prevent the patch from going live on public test servers today. I understand the overwhelming excitement to get into the PTR server to test the new patch and have no desire to give you news of the patch's delay. Nonetheless, I would like to remind everyone that we are almost there and I will continue to give you updates on the patch's progress. The first question I am already working on is how long the delay is. The updates on this will be posted here when I find out: link The second question you probably have is why the patch didn't go live today. Here is reason from our Producer, "At the last minute we found a problem with the patch which could break the installs of a small percentage of users." Again, they are only working to make sure the testing and final patch goes smoothly as well as betters your current gameplay experience of Warcraft III. Please be patient as there will be more updates. Please also keep discussion about the Patch Notes. Here are the Patch Notes for 1.22: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patch 1.22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEATURES - There is now a replay auto-save feature in the options menu. Replays are automatically saved to the "replay" folder. - Added an option to always show unit and building health bars. - You can now enable and disable the display of minimap signals from players and other observers using chat commands: /showminimapsignals and /hideminimapsignals. BALANCE CHANGES HUMAN - Scout Tower repair rate changed from 12 to 20. - Knight damage increased: Attack cooldown changed from 1.50 to 1.40 and base damage increased from 25 to 28 (Average damage is 34). UNDEAD - Increased Ziggurat base armor from 1 to 5. - Reduced the build time of the Necropolis from 120 to 100. NIGHT ELF - Reduce the Orb of venom poison duration from 10 seconds to 8 seconds. - Increase the experience gain from Dryads from Level 2 (40xp) to Level 3 (60 xp). FIXES - The cooldown on unlimited usable items (example: the staff of preservation) now persists after the item is dropped or traded. - A cooldown exploit with potions has been fixed. - When you unburrow a Crypt Fiend, its auto-cast will no longer be toggled off. - An exploit bug in which items could lose their cooldowns when transferred between heroes has been fixed. ADDITIONAL MAPS Furthermore, these 4 new contest winner maps will be included in the final patch, but not on the PTR: - (2)MeltingValley - (2)RoadToStratholme - (4)CentaurGrove - (4)TidewaterGlade |
UPDATE #2: Patch 1.22 is finally running on the test servers. To try it, follow the following instructions:
1. Start -> Run -> Type 'regedit'
For example, it should look like this: beta.battle.netSave it and open Warcraft 3. From there you will be able to see the new realm. Enjoy! |

You can't really say finally, blizzard said last year ''there will be a patch this year'' but there was none.
I just hope they are not going to kid us this time and release the test server in a reasonable amount of time, which means this week. And for the patch to all servers, within 2-3 weeks max. | |||||||||||||

so, when can the puplic test the patch?
