The offical word is Stormhammer players will be considered first for
the beta, followed by long time players from the other servers. I
think I'd rather be in on a later part of beta where the game is more
stable. They do a lot of random things like raise or lower your
levels to test different stuff out. Just check out the forums and
they will keep you informed about the exact details.
