In case you’ve missed the news: Blizzard has taken World of Warcraft: Cataclysm to beta, and lifted the requirement barring disclosure of its content.  This means that:

• You are free to take screenshots of awesome things you see in the beta.
• You are free to post those screenshots somewhere, like Flickr or ImageShack.
• You’re free to share them in threads in The Instance Forums.  Woo-hoo!  You know you want to!
• If you’re not yet beta testing, and you really want to and have properly signed up, it’s only a matter of time before you get your invite.
• Whether or not you’re testing, you’re free to browse the official beta forums.  They’re a lot nicer than most forums on worldofwarcraft.com.

We’re planning all manner of fun Cataclysm beta contests and community events.  Be on the lookout for prizes to be given away on The Instance along with a “Most Badass Beta Screenshot” contest, perhaps a few “Caption The Beta Screenshot” contests, and a contest wherein you, The Instance listener, can win a cool prize for submitting a photos comparing the real-world to the world of post-Cataclysm Azeroth.  Get your creative eye ready!
