From the article: It all started with this guy I know; lets call him “liphe”.

I mean, after all, I have been down that road and MMORPGs are bottomless pits to hell. In a straight tripn yo, do not pass go, do not collect $200, kind of way. Then the guys at Blizzard sent me an email requesting my presence during an early stress test. How dangerous could it be? After all, the stress test was only good for a few days and I could see how World of Warcraft felt without fear of becoming addicted.
