World of Warcraft beta stress test for all us little people

Every massively multiplayer game needs a stress test during the beta phase. In a nutshell, a stress test guarantees the best launch a developer can hope to get. A lot of the MMGs that have come out have been fun to play, but many have suffered from inconsisient performance when thousands of people start hitting the servers. Which will certainly happen for World of Warcraft. From day one, Blizzard can expect to host tens of thousands of people, so they've started a stress test. But to reach the number of people they need, they must open the beta up to more of us. So get in line, if you have any interest in getting a peek at the upcoming title. And good luck to you. First come, first served.
