A Little Something About the Beta

Posted 7th May 2009 07:59 PM by Leord

We are posting all beta-related news in the first news item, but I think this is important enough to post here for your knowledge. Karune's latest reply:

1. Are we going to be able to merge our account (EU accounts) before BETA become avaiable?
2. How many players you plan to be on BETA? (30.000 ?)
3. You will release BETA after 15 Jun ? (i am geting back home from my long vacation smile))))
4. I have BlizzCon key 2008 and i use that earlyer now i do opt-in also (didn't read) did i made mistake?


1) Yes
2) Final numbers have not been capped, but we will get as many people in as needed to assure we have ample testing for both balance and quality assurance. We also hope to get much feedback from the community involved, as there will be separate StarCraft II Beta Forums for posting by beta participants.
3) Going to have to wait and see for that one smile
4) As mentioned earlier, you don't need to do anything else, but it would still be recommended to go through the traditional beta opt-in method to get a chance for beta in our other future titles.


The important piece to take away from this is the first question. Note that they will start the WoW account merger before the beta. Basically, this doesn't tell us much more than that when it IS fixed, we're even closer to it starting, and before it has been fixed, any rumours about beta will basically be false by default.

Another interesting nugget was made by Cydra!

There will be more chances to get beta keys through any other contest which doesn't require drawing skills?

Yes, there will be more contests for Beta keys and other prizes. smile

I remember a few months ago when I thought the beta was going to start on November 13th because that was when the website to sign up was going to be updated. I was wrong. Every week that goes by I think maybe next week the beta will start and then when that week comes I think again that it will be another week later. I just hope it starts in may.

then it would break all the time and you would have to make an appointment at the store just to get it fixed.
