Cataclysm Beta Opt-In

Get those opt-ins ready for the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm closed beta! The sundering of Azeroth is nigh, and you don’t want to be left out in the cold of Northrend when you could be enjoying the sun-drenched beaches on the goblin isle of Kezan. To ensure you’re opted-in and eligible as a potential candidate, you’ll need a World of Warcraft license attached to your Battle.net account, have your current system specifications uploaded to the Battle.net Beta Profile Settings page, and have expressed interest through the franchise-specific check boxes.

So get your opt-ins set up, updated, and ready; we're worgen real hard to get the beta going soon!

Wait a minute, I need to stitch my split sides.

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up; I've set myself up, but I highly doubt I'll be chosen for anything - my PC is just horrible.

I didn't get into the WOTLK Beta, but I do hope one of my computers at home gets this one :P If not, well... I will just die inside

Don't have to wait for that for the blizzard opt-in. Author access is somewhat limited so don't bank on it.

I could have sworn that last time not everyone that was seeking author keys was able to obtain one. Then again i may be getting old and remembering access to a party from 1987 =P

Which means, there will be beta keys for addon authors, again?

@MidgetMage55
Last time, there was a "wait list". You got a number and a certain number of beta keys where handed out per ... err, week?! ... can't remember the details anymore.

You got put onto a list, Cairenn sends the list to somebody at Blizzard once a week or so who I presume puts it into a queue, and then eventually you get a key. If I remember right, Cairenn is reading the thread and will correct me anyway!
