I really don't think what you have on your account matters, but for the record my account had SC anthology and my wife's had War3 ROC.

Oh and my pc is pretty good and hers is really bad for games (old laptop with onboard intel video card). That's probably why her account got the invite.

This is the only thing I care about. I don't have a cracked copy of beta, but I do have it installed on my laptop so I could test graphics settings. But if they don't care about people who have cracked copies or copies installed then I'm just gonna wait patiently and not get one.

FUUUUU OP for getting my hopes up. I created a new battle.net account JUST to see if I got it. I enter my CD KEY and turns out I already have an account. So this triggers the looongggggg and incredibly tedious task of finding what email I had used. I had to sit down for a good 30 minutes to think of every single email I've used in the past five years or so. Turns out it was more than 15, since I create a new email address for every new forum that I join.

Through sheer luck I managed to remember one very specific email address I created on AOL. The only email address I've ever created on AOL. "julyzerg12345678910@aol.com". 3540 new emails in my inbox btw.... Anyways, thank god they added a search function because I managed to search for "battle.net" and it returned two emails. One of them was a confirmation, "Thanks Park for joining" it said in the beginning.

So... after figuring out what email address I used on my account, I figured out that I didn't know what password I used..... To recover your password apparently you have to enter you email, first name and last name. Simple? Fuck no. Park Sung-Joon. Park-joon. Park-hoon. Parksungjoon etc. etc.... I tried every combination I could think of until I asked myself, "Okay, how do I pronounce july's name NOW and how would I spell it?" Park sunhoon. DING DING DING, we have a weiner.

And then the secret question pops up. "What is your favorite book?" FUCK MY LIFE. I'm sure at the time I entered some book that I recently read that left its mark on me at the time. Anyways, after spending a good half hour guessing, I managed to figure it out, "The Giver". o_o

So I manage to finally get into my battle.net account, and I get a nice little surprise....

Frankly, I dunno if it counts. I signed up months ago, but since I had bought a new computer I decided to run the program they give for checking your machine, and at the same time I updated my preferences. I wonder if it resets the ''timer''. But I did this after the beta started. (I had totally forgotten about it till it actually started.)

On March 05 2010 15:24 TheYango wrote:

Yes it does. The "hardcore RTS player" has probably already seen how the new mechanics of the game work. Blizzard needs data on whether people consider them fun, interesting, and intuitive. And for someone who already knows about them and has already formed an opinion before they even started playing, that data's not that helpful.

Are the inexperienced people worthless for tuning balance? Yes. But that doesn't mean they're worthless for the beta process as a whole.

Anyone have an answer to my question? Do the choices: Newcomer, Beginner, Veteran matter in the long run? Can they be changed somehow?

But I heard the actual gamespeed is different, depending your pick. Which is why I'm wondering.

Yeah, alright. I picked a non-veteran one, and noticed that the speed wasn't the fastest, which is of course a bummer for a SC player like me. But yeah, played 2 matches now, totally rolled over my opponents so I don't think getting to the Platinum League will be hard.

But i have seen on the forums that only opt-ins have gotten their keys so far and gotten their beta through their account rather not through e-mail.

Thanks!!
