i red somewhere that blizzard employees are give each 4 keys fro friend and family, so Blizzard can not let too many people into the beta or the ebay prices would drop.

Sounds kinda like a rip off at first, but at 2nd thought ii red somewhere that blizzard employees are give each 4 keys fro friend and family, so Blizzard can not let too many people into the beta or the ebay prices would drop.

Sounds kinda like a rip off at first, but at 2nd thought i think it is just fair for the small blizzard guys to get these 800-1000$ from ebay, because they made WoW which makes Millions and i doubt they get much from that cake.

So it is just fair i think,
you could argue that it sux the good old starcraft players have to pay the bonus for the good work on WoW,
but well it is just an option to pay it +
the big blizzard guys you are getting rich with WoW sure wont give away their money and after all, Starcraft 2 comes out with a fair price.
Starcraft 2 will cost the same like every other game, but it sure as hell is worth more than all those other mediocre games.

That is one wacky post, one thing though: Blizzard has tried to make it not possible to sell beta keys or wow accounts and what not in ebay since years, so no, they do not give the keys to their workers so they could sell them. And no there's no reliable source that even says they all get a fixed amounts of keys.

Is this an appropriate use of the ban-hammer?

So far both waves have been in the beginning of the week, I'm assuming this is because at weekend they won't have as many people ready for support so I doubt they're going to send any more on friday.

But yup third time is the charm, I believe~~~~


Nope, I think the beta was launched Wed or Thursday last week so it was kinda middle weekish, and than 2nd wave came 3-4 days later. It's now been 4 days since the 2nd wave, hopefully something soon. I'm still highly disappointed my cake key is years away!

lol it wud be funnyi f u got an optin key first. haha


LoL considering nobody has yet contacted us about it I can only hope for a opt in invite :D But if they make a contest for a 2nd wave of beta key contests we are promised those keys right away, sadly I think Blizzard fell through on their promise of a 2nd beta key contest giveaway
good luck have fun!
