What is the first thing I’m going to do on the 28th? Here is a hint from the official World of Warcraft site:

At 6:00 pm PST on Wednesday, January 28th, the signup period for the World of Warcraft Beta Test will officially begin. Testers are not going to be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis, so you will be able to submit an application and receive equal consideration anytime during the signup period, which will end on Wednesday, February 4th at 6:00 pm PST.

They do say “Please note that multiple submissions from the same household will result in complete disqualification”, so I can’t sign myself up a hundred billion times. Doesn’t stop me from using all of my friends address’s though.
