PSA for those interested in beta access

First of all, they have added a new option to the beta profile page called 'WoW Classic'. This is different from the World of Warcraft option. Make sure you have this checked!To fill our pool of beta and stress test participants, we’ll be choosing dedicated players who meet select criteria from both the WoW Classic beta opt-in and the standard Warcraft beta opt-in. Participants will also need to have an active subscription or active game time on their Battle.net Account. While opting-in to the beta is the primary way to make sure you’re in the running to join the test it doesn’t guarantee an invitation to the closed beta test. We may also consider additional factors such as how long a player has been subscribed to the game so that we have the right mix of players to ensure great feedback toward making WoW Classic the very best experience for the community. So to summarise:You have to have an active WoW subscription or active game time to participate How long you have been subscribed to the game MAY be factored into likelihood of being chosen - how this works is unclear as they say they'd like a 'mix' of people for the testing (so they may mean people who haven't subbed for a while, and people who have been actively playing BfA) and it's not guaranteed that this is even 100% going to be a factorStadics on the subscription bit: To be clear, Blizzard defines this 'beta' as: "a small-scale, focused closed beta test." There will be a few thousand people world wide invited to this thing. Tips, one of the content creators thus invited, said the same thing on stream. What you get from holding a subscription and opting in to the 'beta' is thus more or less a chance to participate in one of three 1-day stress tests.

I think I'm in the closed beta boys, downloading the client at the moment after refreshing my Bnet account. No email received about it.

Pretty lame for them to make a new tab for this, I've had the Warcraft one ticked for like 7 years, wouldn't be surprised if they did it on purpose.

I'm pretty sure that this is on purpose. There are many people who just have that Warcraft one ticked for ages that do not intend to play classic, so they wouldn't want to "waste" their invites on them.
Don't be that guy that subscribes for this, don't enable their behavior.

That I agree 100%.
