The Alpha client is compatible for Beta so you're good to go when the Beta realms are back up.
If you received an e-mail, yet nothing is showing up on your account list that means either someone is trying to steal your account or you didn't receive what you thought you did.
Good point. Go to
account management and check to see if you have a license on the account for World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor on the Public Test Realm (PTR).
If you do not have a Warlords PTR license then the email was a phishing attempt. To learn more about phishing emails check out this section on
