Is there any chance at all?

Is there still any chance at all to get a Cataclysm Beta key? I've been searching since I've found out about it, but nowhere do I find a place to enter for a key or apply for a key. Is it just a random thing?

I feel like I would make a good tester because I'm always looking for new things, rare drops, "secret" places, and I LOVE to explore. Not only that, but I raid and PvP a lot too. I just wish I could know how to get in so that I could have something to do in my spare time.

So does anyone know if it's still available to get, and how to get it if it is available?

Q u o t e:


But is it totally random? Or is there any way to "apply"?

I just found the "Beta Profile Settings" on Battle.net, so I don't know if that will have anything to do with it.


The way you apply is by opting in, Orofiin. :) The following is taken from the thread near the top of the page:

Beta Opt-in

If you wish to opt-in to possibly receive a Beta invitation for Cataclysm or other upcoming projects you may do so through your Account Management page. Simply click on the Beta Profile Settings option and select either Windows or Macs.

https://us.battle.net/account/management/beta-profile.html

You will be prompted to download a program designed to check your system. The program should be called SystemCheck_enUS, running this will cause it to gather your system information. After you click Send it will associate your system information with your account and direct you to your Beta Profile page. There you will be able to select which products you may be interested in beta testing. If you have already set up your Beta Profile you will simply be directed to your profile page.
