Re: Starcraft 2 Closed Beta by end of February

Been watching videos of SC2 all day, wish I had tried for a beta spot

$400 for a key? seriously and it had a bid...wow

Guys, FYI, Second wave of invites have begun as of an hour or so ago.

Both Blizzcon keys and opt-ins are getting invited so keep the hopes up I suppose.

Nothing for me as of yet though

People on the Blizzard forums started posting it several hours ago.

To opt-in all you have to do is setup a bnet account and download the beta thing?

I have starcraft on my bnet account so if you need at least 1 game on your account I'm good

I have my Diablo 3 and StarCraft BattleChest registered but haven't received a key.

Maybe my system config is too lame...

Insert wisdom here...

reply to TigerLord
Any news about upcoming waves or anything? I've been hearing rumors there might be something this week.

I saw the sandbox mode that was being spammed on battle.net forums, but I want to play against people .

I have been watching some live streams all week hoping for a invite that I will not receive.

reply to TigerLord
Am I right when I assume you need to have at least one registered (purchased) game already on battle.net to get a chance...?

Thats what I heard, you need at least 1 game on your account (WoW trial doesn't count) luckily I had Starcraft laying around and somehow still had the key after a decade or so

No beta yet though

reply to TigerLord
Had Diablo in my other life but no idea where did it disappear...

reply to TigerLord
people getting access without e-mails, check ur accounts.

reply to TigerLord
There was a wave the other night, sadly I am not in it.

And yes the game will appear in your bnet account rather then getting a email sometimes.

Got an invite. I can post screenshots later if you guys want.

reply to The Flash

Damn, I didn't get an invite yet. Had no idea they were going out until my cousin told me he got one. Told me the game is pretty awesome. Lucky him.

reply to TigerLord
First one goes to my wife. Others may be getting this e-mail, so heads up for you folks begging for a beta invite.
===========
Congratulations! This is an additional invitation to the beta test for Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft® II: Wings of Liberty™ for you to share with a friend! You are receiving this email because you are currently participating in the StarCraft II beta test, and we want to encourage you to test out some of the social features of the revamped Battle.net® online-gaming service by inviting one of your friends to play with you. This email contains your additional beta key for you to send to a friend, along with instructions to help your friend get started.

This key can only be used once to upgrade a Battle.net account to participate in the beta test, and while we encourage you to share this key with someone you know, it must not be traded or sold.

Once your friend has joined the beta test, be sure to add him or her as a Real ID friend by opening your friends list in the bottom-right corner of the Battle.net interface and selecting Add Friend. Enter your friend's Battle.net email address in the Real ID Friend field that pops up, and then send your request. Once your friend accepts the request, you’ll be able to communicate more easily, quickly join parties together for some team-based 2v2 games, and more.

So what are you waiting for? Send this beta test invitation below to your lucky friend and start playing some exciting team games!

Ya I just received a friend invite today too. Just to note the key wasn't working as of 11:00AM PST but it works now and I'm downloading the client.

reply to TigerLord
Well freaking magical, here I am still waiting for a key, and blizzard is instead sending the keys to people who have already received them. Magical...

If anyone gets an extra one and doesn't mind passing it on to me, I'd appreciate it... playing against fairly stupid AI isn't very fun

This is really frustrating.
