Testing alterac valley before release?

^ ?

I know the AV mechanics, and probably many others do too.
So you could make it available in some test realm, with no player requirement to join. Things like mines and NPC spawn event mechanics could be tested

Since a lot of players from both Alliance and Horde sides will be needed for the next upcoming content, 7 guilds were chosen. This player PTR server is available for the players who were in the following guilds list one week ago :

GRIZZLY,
Ridin Dirty,
Blacklisted,
Exiled,
NOPE,
Dreamstate,
Phoenix.

For the next testing content in 2 weeks (depending on the quality of feedback received), be prepare for patch 1.5 including :
* Alterac Valley Battleground in his pre-nerf state,
* Battleground reputation,
* 1.5 Items upgrade, affects many items on the server as it upgrades some existing ones and brings in new items in instances, quests, and in raids like Molten Core and Onyxia.

Does that mean the testing is done? This was posted over 2 weeks ago.
