Have account since 14.10.06, was active for the most part, have signed up for annual late january.. So unless they want Mac testers, I think I'll have to wait for quite a while ^_^

System specs, in the past, did play a role in testing. I get my key l late in testing b/c my system is "average" to "below average", whereas my fiancee is usually early b/c he has the most baddest assest computer ever. Doesn't mean he doesn't let me LOOK at it on his system, though *cough*
I love that man.

"This first phase of the beta focuses on the 1-10 starting experience for new Pandaren. High-level content as well as template characters will become available in future beta updates, but you can still copy over your own high level characters now if you’d like to test the new talent system."
So right now thats all it is, so we wont find out much about new pets with a higher level for awhile atleast.

I am in, yes I have annual pass, and likely due to them saying about how old the account is/when I signed up.

well no. but i could run around and test current untameable ones (though its still to early to belive anything is made tameable).
i would love to do some lvling on a cute little hunter panda too.
If annything, i could just sit and stare at anny new models and go: i will tame you! one day!

I'm in too, didn't copy my toons yet but I'll be checking out what the monk is like, and the pandaren starting place. I'll prolly make a pandaren hunter to see what's tamable there. ^_^

System specs obviously don't matter for this since they have no way of telling what they are without making you run something on your computer.
I think the only people getting invites at the moment are YouTubers who are quite popular/fansite staff and whatnot. Handing them out to more 'random' people will come later I assume.

This account I have has been active since Illy-poo in BC. Mostly active, but took a 4 month break in 2010 for good reasons. Probably won't get in untill like.. everyone and there grandmother joins.

Been active since the end of BC when Illidan first came out. No invite for me. From what I understand, they only invited Friends, Family, and the Press. Tis how beta invites always work.

Quote from Nethaera on the official forums:
You will be getting into the beta if you have an Annual Pass. Don't worry. We just got the beta up last night and while we've already done some invites, we have a lot more to do.
We're very aware that everyone is expecting to be in as soon as possible and we're committed to doing what we can to make that happen. We just ask that everyone is a little patient as we make that happen.

That blue post states they will/are inviteing in waves and that they cant give a estimate on when each wave starts (yet).

I'm not friends/family nor press, and I got in. Again, they did state that invites were going out judging by when you signed up for annual pass AND how long the account has been active. (I'll hunt down a link)
Edit: Taken from MMO champ's blue tracker
"I am participating in the World of Warcraft Annual Pass promotion; when do I begin testing?
We’re inviting Annual Pass holders in waves over the course of the beta test, and will be ramping up the number of invites we send as quickly as possible. We’ll be inviting Annual Pass holders based on several factors, including how long your World of Warcraft account has been active and when you signed up for the Annual Pass. Keep an eye on your Battle.net account and email for your invite to join the beta test."

I'm expecting my invite sometime in the next two months honestly. I signed up pretty quickly, second day of blizzcon I think, but I've been kinda on and off wow on occasion. So we'll see.
Personally I kinda want to get in later then now. Sure I'll be behind the curve but then I can just go at my own pace without everyone and their mother lagging my computer while they try to do the same exact thing I am. Granted I don't want to get in about a month before the beta ends like I did with cata...hardly got any time to really do or see everything let alone test for bugs and such.

Except that they do test your system specs, one of the things you had to do to volunteer for betas in your battle.net account (I recently got a new comp so updated my systems specs on my bnet account).

My account is only a year and a half old or so, cause I used to play on my ex's account. Its been active since creation, but is not that old. I signed up for the annual pass within a few days of it coming out. My computer....well, lets just say when they want to see how it runs on crappy computers, I'm their woman! LOL But, no invite yet.

I am in a similar situation as I have been playing since fall 2005 but my character was on a shared account with my ex. I transferred my main to my own account in September of 2006 which has had non stop play time since then. I know I signed up for the annual pass in the first couple of days so it should be interesting to see when I get my invite compared to my girlfriend who has had her account running since August 2005 and signed up for the pass a couple of days after me.
