In Regards to Guild Beta Contest

Oh wise, kind, wonderful, and so good looking Blues, *

I've been bombarded with with questions from the 9 other guild members that you kindly allowed me to get Beta invites for with your contest, and I would appreciate some help on answering them as it would enable me to better fake looking like I know what I'm talking about. So I now annoy every post reader with that worst of the worse thing, a LIST OF QUESTIONS!!!

A) Does the activation of Parental Controls on the account prevent beta?

2) Does the account have to have beta opt in activated? (I've been saying yes on this one, as it couldn't hurt)

9/3) Are they going to receive beta keys via email or will an option merely appear on the Battle.net account?

D) (I love this one) I don't like having to log in to battle.net, do I have to? (I classify it as a variant of #3, but felt you'd enjoy knowing this one.)

E) Are we going to be required to play a set number of hours a week? (I'm betting no, but I've been tormenting this person saying, yes, a minimum of 112 hours per week)

6) Is it going to be like the PTR where we copy a character in/create a base level character or are we going to have to start at 1 and work up?

Quantity of Deadly Sins) Do we need to fill out a log or something to report our play activity?

Infinity Sideways) When?? Are we going to get in just as they end it or what? I want my goblin/worgen/troll druid/cowadin!! (I counsel patience on this one, with a reply of "could be tomorrow, or 2 weeks, it'll be soon though."

As you can see, I've got a curious and unique bunch that's raring to go and I'd appreciate the help in herding these here cats. They've got more but most of them are variants on the same themes so in advance, thank you.

(Oh yeah, is there anyway to change that date of birth thing at post, it's getting way too far down to scroll to my date...or is that punishment for being old? :) )
