Check your email over the next few days to see if you get an invite from Blizzard.
'Planned start for Beta 2pm Pacific, 5pm EDT, 11pm CET, "Ungodly AM in Australia"'
Quote Ion Hazzikostas ..aka "Watcher" in the Blizzard forum, lead developer designer.
If you were in Alpha.. enjoy the glow.. your character gets wiped later today or tomorrow.

Also check your accounts on the launcher, many of us never received emails for alpha and only discovered by accident that we were in!

Lol, sorry, was meant as a "many of those who got into alpha", based on the forums there, where a lot said they never got any mail, which was the same as my own experience
Just have to hope the alpha invite carries over to beta; lots of people are saying it will based on past experience, but someone spoke to a GM who says it doesn't lol... hopefully the GM is wrong, I didn't have time to see anything like as much as I wanted

One of the jokes was that the first batch of Alpha invites all went to video bloggers.

Most batches seemed to have a purpose, yeah, streamers/fansites for promoting it in the first wave (irritating for everyone else lol), PVPers, raiders... I haven't a clue what the heck I got in for though, I don't fit any obvious category, just "lucky" I guess
Seems pure random now beta is coming so a lot more normal players should get a shot now
