Blizzard meldete gestern den Start der closed beta für das kommende Addon Cataclysm. In der Pressemitteilung heißt es dazu:

"Blizzard Entertainment announced today that the closed beta test for Cataclysm™, its highly anticipated new expansion for World of Warcraft®, has begun. The company has started issuing invitations to participate in the testing process to a wide range of players from around the world who signed up via their Battle.net® accounts. While enjoying an early look at the game, beta testers will provide valuable feedback to help Blizzard Entertainment find bugs, address balance issues, and polish the new content."

Für die auf die kommende open beta hat Blizzard übrigens einen Gildenwettbewerb gestartet. 10 Accounts pro Gilde können so mit etwas Glück einen Beta-Key ergattern. Mehr Informationen dazu gibt es hier.
