Version: 5.0.1.15851
Patch 5.0.1[]
Blizzard has used the patch version 5.0.1 for the Beta, but it may not use that version for live release. The expectation will be for a pre-expansion world event release, but there is no sign of it yet on the PTR or anything but a passing mention of a Patch 4.4.[1] As of July 13th, 2012, a blue post clarifies the use of 5.0.3 for the systems patch.[2]
On the PTR[]
On July 3rd, 2012, a systems patch intended to precede the Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Mists of Pandaria release was announced to appear on the PTR, but will not be accessible to Beta tester accounts and no expansion content or zones will be accessible.[3] The first PTR Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. systems client was released on July 13th, 2012 and had the same build 15851 number as the Beta, but the patch version was changed to Patch 5.0.3.[4]

We will soon begin public testing of patch 5.0.3 of World of Warcraft, a patch that will precede the Mists of Pandaria release, and includes many features and functions that are new to the game. We encourage all players who wish to test patch 5.0.3 with us to take careful note of the following:- It will not be possible to access the 5.0.3 PTR realms with a game account that accesses the Mists of Pandaria Beta.
- If a game account has been flagged with a Mists of Pandaria Beta license, it can only be used to enter Beta realms.
- This limitation is on each World of Warcraft license, and is not Battle.net account-based.
- While testing 5.0.3, players will not be able to access zones or content that is a part of the Mists of Pandaria expansion.
