I'm currently searching for Patch 0.6 of WoW, which was regarded as the first public beta build. The patch notes are readily available from any of the WoW database sites, but the download doesn't seem to have the same fate.
All those years of waiting finally resulted in finding version 0.6.0 of WoW, thanks to a user on the BetaArchive forum! (2016)

Hi, I'm jimmsta. I've been a member of the beta scene since 2003 or so. I was a member of the original OSBA, and have been on BetaArchive since its inception.

I like to examine the differences between different builds of both software and games. I pride myself on learning the history of WoW, and other Blizzard titles. My main focus currently is to update the wiki with as much World of Warcraft info as possible. This means turning over every rock and looking for every screenshot, video, and review of the earliest builds ever reported on. Lots of work (read: years) has gone into gathering all this information, and the work never ends (or so it seems).

All those years of waiting finally resulted in finding version 0.6.0 of WoW, thanks to a user on the BetaArchive forum! (2016)

I'm currently documenting changes in the Legion expansion pack, to write small articles for each build that gets released. As of writing, the latest build has had nothing but problems getting players logged in to Blizzard's authorization servers. Whether or not it is the fault of the game's unstable program file, or Blizzard's server infrastructure remains to be determined.
