Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
Anyone lucky enough to get onto the Alpha/Beta program.

I have a friend in my guild who has a friend who works for Bliizard and he has given me an to the Alpha and Beta testing.

Currently it is installing the client, downloading at 450kb/s.

Going to work now but looking forward to getting home tonight when it should all be installed ready to go.

The Alpha is for friends and family of Blizzard employee's. Blizzard customer service have to enable the Alpha on your battle.net account so it's not really an unofficial leak.

Blizzard are aware of every Alpha user and there full details of the customer base, you cannot "pass on" a Alpha/Beta to someone else. Blizzard enable it all.
 
The BETA aint out yet, so it depends how they implement it. I assume Blizzard will want to cut out "ebay sellers" with Beta keys.

Plus the WoTLK beta was prior to full battle.net intergration (ie you must use battle.net to sign in), so I assume they will not release keys and just apply it to the battle.net account just like the Alpha.

Thats the client + a sandbox emulated server.

The real alpha has everything (well thats done yet..) , so all NPCs, quests etc work.. or should work, its an alpha!

FRom what I understand - having not tried yet. You cannot transfer live toons to the Alpha yet, only start a new character. I will know more when I get home :)

You can :) log into your battle.net account and check the cataclysm beta game account, on the right hand side you can do a character copy, theres only 1 realm for EU though, so you cant really go wrong.
