world of warcraft: Cataclysm Beta Test Invitation!

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.

Get the Installer - Log in to your Battle.net account:

** IMPORTANT ** To avoid graphical bugs and other technical issues, please ensure your video card drivers are up-to-date.

Enjoy the game!

Q u o t e:
As you can see from the Return Path, this e-mail is a fake. For future reference, in regards to Beta access, you can always check the legitimacy of an invitation by logging into your Battle.net Account Management page. If you were actually invited into testing, you would see the Beta license listed underneath "Manage My Games."

You can forward the e-mail—with full headers attached—to [email protected] to be investigated.

The following sticky also contains more information about these e-mails:
