BC Beta - on its way?

The expansion fever is heating up...

World of War Net published the follwing interesting tidbit:

Is was bought to our attention earlier this week that the BC Alpha Test is now underway (thanks Schwick). There is also a thread in the forums from relphie who has posted a conversation with someone who is taking part in the test, which may or may not be legit, but we do know that testers are now getting down and dirty with the BC so it could well be. Great to see we are fianlly heading towards a Beta test :)
