Blizzard isn't saying a heck of alot about it but they did say
In order to accelerate the testing process, we recently allowed a small group of external testers to play the game. During this process, a collection of files was leaked to the Internet. While these files contain alpha content from the game, they are not fully playable and therefore do not convey the experience that World of Warcraft will provide when it is released.
AKA there is something more like a small demo out there floating in cyberland but do not judge the game on it because it is NOT the full/real thing... it's just a taste !
I'm gonna see if I can't find this thing and giver a whirl
I love the Warcraft series and I'll more then likely buy WoW if it's online costs aren't a arm and a leg
