I also got an E-mail, but there is no key or test date or anything. This looks more like a carrot on a stick the a real invitation...
if you got the email then there wont be a key(or a need for one). a key is only needed if you didnt sign up for testing before 11/11/11. the key would be obtained from a list of certain media sites such as this one or ign(the list can be found here). currently they have not set a date, all they have said is that it is scheduled for later this month. check here to check for when the download would become available(that link can also be used to check if you are selected for testing incase the email got deleted or sent to spam folder)

This e-mail is informing you that you will participate in the next scheduled beta weekend. 3 days before the test weekend you will get a second e-mail with all the relevant info.
Considering I've been waiting for a chance to try out the game for myself, I'm happy to see that they've allowed me and others into a test like this, even if it is a bit unorthodox.
Plus, it's a later build of the game, so we won't have to worry as much about glitches and bugs as closed beta testers.
They do specify that this is a stress test. Expect server crashes, delays, long load times, countless errors that you might think are unrelated. The idea of a stress test is to measure the server load and strength - not to necessarily provide an enjoyable experience. Think of this as being allowed to get to drive around the track in the Daytona 500, but with a couple of thousand other people. As long as you keep reality in mind, I'm sure you all will have fun.
