I just hope we get some ability to send them feedback so I can beg for the night elf mage.

They are going to try and fill up a server as much as they can. To simulate launch day in a ways. See how much a server can take. Well they do say "servers" nor "Server" I have just been under the impression of one server.

Why is Blizzard conducting a stress test for World of Warcraft?
Blizzard is conducting a stress test to measure the maximum operating capacity for the World of Warcraft infrastructure, namely the servers and account-creation pages. Blizzard wants as many people as possible to overload the infrastructure to determine the optimum population a World of Warcraft server can support.

I don't know how people are getting keys so early, or even picking servers? I thought they were waiting for alot of people to join then just flood a server. I'm so happy the're doing this this early, instead of testing it on launch day like SWG
