Starting before March 2004, Blizzard started signing up Closed Beta Test testers from an unknown pool of people using an undisclosed method of selection. The Closed Beta Trial ran for about 7 months ending in more widely available stress test and then an open beta before final release around the end of November 2004.
Thank you for that info, my memory is being filled in now! Those memories lining up I mentioned in the last comment are actually from the stress test because I realized they were on a character I didn’t have in release.
