But that'll change soon.Those who have the beta enabled on their account can copy characters to the beta servers. Remember to check out the Beta Opt-In Info and FAQ if you've got questions about the process.
Looks like it could be an exciting night!
Update 8:45 p.m: Here are the available servers for people to copy characters to.
Update 9:01 p.m.: New install screenshot, we now have ... a button! Which still doesn't work.
Update 10:00 p.m.: Mac users are able to download the beta, no such luck for Windows folks.

How do I know if I am in yet?
Will I receive an email or will a box appear on my battlenet page marked "Mists of Pandaria Beta Client" ?

Ah, a second picture's been added to the article. Guess that answers my question ;)

Probably both. There's usually an email notice, and the account page updates to allow you to download the beta client.
Arrohon Mar 21st 2012 8:16PM
Probably both. The email should just be letting you know that the box is now there. Sadly, it isn't up on mine, but that doesn't mean much of anything right now /optimism

I'm just refreshing my Battle.net account page every 5 minutes.

Please remember DO NOT click anything on your email and go directly to your Battle.net account!

If anyone is able to figure out a formula for when beta invites are likely to go out, I'd love that.
What I mean -- Invites go out based on if Blizzard knows you (ie- A blogger, worker, friend, family), how long you've had a WoW account, and how early you signed up for the annual pass.
Personally, I'm a nobody with an account since early TBC who signed up for the annual pass immediately. No beta (yet).

Same here....I caught onto WoW right at the end of BC, just a few weeks before the zombie invasion, pre-WotLK. Got my Annual Pass to go through approximately 40 minutes after Morhaime announced it at BlizzCon....still no beta invite.....grrrr.....

Beta (Annual Pass) info from Blizzard:
From https://us.battle.net/support/en/blog/4639484
Customer Support is not able to provide beta access. World of Warcraft Annual Pass subscribers will be invited in waves over the course of the beta, and we will be ramping up the number of invitations we send out as quickly as possible. Annual Pass holders will be invited based on several factors, including how long their World of Warcraft account has been active and when they signed up for the Annual Pass. Our goal is to provide all Annual Pass holders access to the beta as soon as we can. Keep an eye on your Battle.net account and email inbox for your invitation to join the beta test!

Their mount is a "wind serpent".
Bryan Dare Mar 21st 2012 11:20PM
Well yes, but that seemed to me to be a for a reputation faction, not the player-race.... Though if I'm right, I suppose this could be either.
Bryan Dare Mar 22nd 2012 12:10AM
Oho, I'd say this appears to be the icon in question. I like it.

Jaq Mar 21st 2012 8:17PM
Watch me get in while I'm waiting for my new desktop, the sole computer in my house that would run WoW, to arrive to replace the one with the dead motherboard.
Nah, probably not. But the way my luck's run lately...
Snowfeather Mar 21st 2012 9:22PM
