Sub time for invite

I unsubbed a few months ago due to not playing the game, so does that affect my “sub dedication” for a beta invite or how does that work? If a blizzard employee could confirm this that would be amazing.

I’ve seen people,in the beta, on the forums so far say their accounts have started very early in vanilla but sub times are ranging from never lapsing to just resubbing a few days ago

Why would they confirm that…

I’ve been playing on and off since WotLK and skipped cata entirely. My sub was currently lapsing and I got my beta invite today. Don’t think any of that matters, just need to have an active sub.
