World of WarCraft fans have been salivating at the impending release of the Cataclysm expansion and we got word this week that Blizzard is currently looking for candidates for the upcoming beta. If you are interested in getting on the beta, you will have to make sure you follow Blizzard’s instructions:

From Blizzard:

To ensure you’re opted-in and eligible as a potential candidate, you’ll need a World of Warcraft license attached to your Battle.net account, have your current system specifications uploaded to the Battle.net Beta Profile Settings page, and have expressed interest through the franchise-specific check boxes.

While the release of the Cataclysm expansion for WoW is still quite a long time away, with it currently in alpha before moving to beta, you can expect a probable holiday release date with alpha and beta stages usually spanning around three months each. Blizzard did note in their announcement that they are working, “real hard to get the beta going soon.”
