Wrath of the Lich King goes beta

by Ross Miller { Jul 17th 2008 at 11:56PM }

On a Thursday night after all the E3 shenanigans (and during our party, no less), we have word that Blizzard has begun the Wrath of the Lich King beta. Sources have told WoW Insider that the alpha phase reportedly shut down a few days ago and that invites should be going out soon for the beta. Additionally, a Blizzard site has gone live to help gamers get the beta set up. Are you one of the lucky few to get an invite? You can check out the patch notes here.

Who does one kill--er, I mean, how does one go about getting one of these "invites"?

Go to WoW's website, and under Account Management, there a option called "Beta Opt-In" just click that.

From what we've been told, beta keys are going to be given out randomly, and in more the one wave.
