Realm Stability, Test Realm, and a chance in the Burning Crusade Beta

Community manager Ordinn has announced that Blizzard is planning to roll out new hardware
(for both new and existing realms) at the beginning of April.  However, next week they plan on stress testing the servers, as well as the 1.10 content patch, by opening up the public test realms.  And, finally, "to make things interesting" there will be three skill-based contests that will grant the winner entry into the Burning Crusade beta.  I'll be seeing you in-game!
