Blizzard has clarified the status of the current test. What has opened today is what in previous expansions was called the "Friends and Family Alpha." Previously, the F&F Alpha was a closed test for Blizzard employees and their friends and family. In that past, this was typically covered by an NDA, but in this case, they're allowing people to post whatever they want about it (which is typically what happened anyway) and they've invited some prominent online WoW personalities.
So this means that the average joe like you or I will not get access quite yet.
Here's hoping that this phase will quickly turn into a more typical alpha, though really, let's just hope that we get some cool stuff to tide us over before we get what will be a swift arrival of the live game.
