StarCraft 2 Beta key holders! - StarCraftWire The Unofficial Starcraft 2 Forums

**Leord** · 04-02-2009, 12:25 PM

If you currently has a StarCraft 2 beta key (been to BlizzCon, or any other way), you can do the rest of the Starcraft community a great favour by helping us report your experiences and findings.

Please give us a "jolly ho" here in this thread if you are in the least interested in even minor things, like updating unit stats or the like, or major things, like making a BattleReport! We can help you with a lot of what you need to do almost anything.

Take the chance to be a (big or small) name in the Starcraft 2 community. New chances the second time around. Or, if you're just a humble gamer wanting to help people. Everyone is welcome!

Leord, do keep in mind that any info that is released is OFFICIAL and not a confidential issue. With all beta's, like I mentioned in a post before, ANY information you see is top secret, protected by an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) and bound by law for each state/country, meaning if you leak it, they're allowed to sue you.

So for those who do provide information, please be careful about the information you release and make sure that you are allowed to release said info. Thank you.

Starcraftwire Moderator Team.

Are we certain what the closed beta NDA will entail?

Maybe the developers won't be a stringent as we think.

**Leord** · 05-02-2009, 11:40 AM

Hehe, don't worry. I doubt they will have a NDA at all, and if so, not for long.

If they do, that's alright, we get more time to actually WRITE the stuff we need =)

But you're right on the Unit stat updates, they can't be made unless the NDA is lifted, or they start without an NDA.

I have a key from last year's Blizzcon. I was planning to post updates and my experiences at my blog (www.battle-reports.com). But would like to help out here too. Count me in.

Last years as in the 2008 one?
Otherwise, that key won't work, as the previous one was for the WotLK Beta.

On a similar note, I have a key from the 2008 Blizzcon, and will gladly share what the NDA allows ;)

That's awesome! If you have your own blogg, that's some street cred right from the start as well! =)

We're going to organize things in the contrib forums, so make a few more posts and get yourself feeling right at home, and I'll invite you over to the discussions! =)

Last year = 2008 ;)

And cool, that's also awesome! Do you have any previous experience with writing publicised articles, or interest from school, or anything? Regardless, we will need plenty of help just documenting changes, so even if you feel intimidated by writing, you can still be of great help to the community!

15000 people have the beta, but my guesstimate is that only 150 or so of them will actually be helpful to the rest of the SC2 fans... You two are obviously 2 of them (as am I)!

Hello!
Got a key and I am ready to open a door to new worlds with it (such a dead metaphor I know). What I am actually going to do for the community with it I don't know yet. Hopefully a lot more than what I do for the D3 wiki these days because I'll need to actually play the game and not just read stuff - YACK! (says the literature student).
On a more serious tone; I'll try to help with what I can, and be more active on the forums so I can relate my experiences with the beta.

Ace, Miz! Yeah, I suppose it's more fun to actually help with something when you can PLAY a game rather than reading about it! =)

I'm already overwhelmed, I didn't really expect people to be interested. If other communities are to go by, like WoW, people just like to get everything served on a platter, not even lifting a finger themselves. I guess the SC community might be as good as it was 10 years ago ;)
