Anyways, i gave mine to a friend who is also a huge nerd, i hope most will do so too. EDIT: I seem to be the only one on irc having gotten one of these, i checked TL irc chan and some other starcraft chans, nobody seems to have gotten one. Only OP of this thread is the other person i found, not even anything on BNet forums. But i guarantee u, its legit. | ||

Anyways, the screenshot i posted earlier is from my own personal email(i blacked out receiver not to get spammed with crap). There is no real way to proove that im right, except that i have a happy friend. I would never troll people about this, as i had to wait 2 weeks for 2nd wave to hit before getting in myself, i just thought it would be nice to let people know that they should tell their friends etc. to check their beta mails IF they already have beta access. | ||

It was sent by SC2betaUS <SC2betaUS@blizzard.com>, the same mail address that sent me an email about my original beta invitation. Also, my beta account is for the Euro realm. I received this mail approximately 20 minutes ago. I haven't used it yet but do have plans for it ![]() | ||

And seriously, if I would get a second key I'd rather sell it on ebay, considered they are worth a lot more than 100€. And I would recommend any of my friends to do so as well. It's a lot of money only to play a video game a few months earlier than anyone else... | ||

So, this must mean the wipe is really near - I mean, it seems pointless to invite a bunch of people then wipe their accounts right? They probaibly get there statistics using the stats on the account. To review new aggregate stats all the accounts need to be wiped first then review the result with the partners they just invited. so i does make sense | ||

My friend was told that there would be a friends invite for people already in the beta. He told me this trying desperately to get me to give him the key when it happens. It all sounded pretty ridiculous to me until now. Take it for what you will, but I think Blizz is just starting to roll these out and more will go out most likely tomorrow with activation tomorrow as well, Friday at the latest imo. | ||

Sent me the email, tried to input code and it doesn't work. Are all the people who confirmed it worked just all trolls or it actually does work? haha ![]() Since Blizzard is planning on restarting everything thennnn it would make sense for them to deem these keys invalid for the time being and then activate them after everything has been reset. | ||

I doubt it's fake it doesn't ask you to do anything but give the friend a key so he can log into his bnet account and get the game it doesn't ask you for like send email here or password or anything that would send up a red flag. Yeah that is what I was thinking. It doesn't ask you to log into some weird site or to add any credentials of the sort. It just plainly says to go to b.net and add the game with the key provided in the email. | ||

With FriendKeys, I really think ppl will give the Key to ppl who really will play A LOT and I think most ppl will actually give the Key to a friend. I mean: When my Friends would find out I've gotten a Betakey and sold it on eBay while knowing they all would kill for one, they'd understandably punch me in the face. ^^' I'll give the Key to my brother or a Friend and everyone that's not a total douche with no Friends will probably do the same. xD Way better than handing out Keys to random WoW-players anyways. -.-° | ||

MorroW has the right attitude to be a competitive progamer which a lot of people seem to lack or just not comprehend when they aspire to become a progamer. MorroW is just trying to gain a competitive edge, and this is completely justified within his mindset as a competitive gamer. Yeah smurfing in the beta is a bit extreme, but its that extremity that progamers have to consider in order to stay ahead. Especially since foreign progamers finally have their chance to earn something out of their efforts. Even if MorroW needs to smurf to just keep up with everyone else, he has the right to do so if he wants to remain competitive at a pro level. Anyway, that being said, the obvious reaction from the community to a guy withholding an invite is obviously going to be one of outrage. Just keep in mind where MorroW is coming from, but it doesn't mean you have to accept it either ![]() | ||

That said, you should sell it if you can find someone who pays a lot, but else you should give it to some BW player who you played with before and doesent have one. I got 2 Beta keys the very first day of the beta and gave one away to a friend. On March 18 2010 18:07 Jayson X wrote: Stop the drama class. Soon noone's going to give a rats ass anyway. It's just a beta for gawds sake. Just wait a few months and then play the released game! And if blizzard isn't too busy creating fucking useless *coughcough*xbox live*coughcough* achievements we might find us some chat channels. Unless of course the "technology" has to be "invented" first... Sure, it's just a beta. But people treat it as the real game, and even sponsors do (the money tournaments). And it's not secret that people who played the whole beta will have a huge advantage over the ones who start when the game is just released. I just think people are very competitive and wants to be able to be among the very best already from the start ![]() | ||

I mean, it's cool that people in the beta can invite their friends, but I'm pretty sure Blizzard is against the idea of beta keys being sold, and by doing this, they just increased the amount that they will be tenfold. It's actually not so bad, everyone that I "know" that is in beta (you know people that post a lot on forums etc) seem to be giving away their keys to friends etc instead of selling them. I prefer this over opt-ins tbh, this way I can actually get a key (because you will always know someone that has beta imo) instead of hoping to win the beta lottery. And lol at the stresstest thing: blizzard employee: hm costumer support has been slacking a bit I think, and that one guy there, I don't like him, any idea of how to give them tons of extra work? blizzard employee: Ah I know let's send out a tonf of invalid keys that they have to manually replace, that will make them work. | ||

We'll get this sorted out, no worries. Seems to be that one batch of the keys was not activated. Hang on a bit and it should be valid. ![]() Yes, it's a known issue with some keys. We're looking into the issue as we speak. In the meanwhile you could tell your friend to try to enter only 26 digits of the key, this means that he has to leave out the very last digit as he probably received a 27 digit key.

Damn now I need to realize it. It takes time when you're waiting for so long... But in the mail of the invite Blizzard clearly say that you should add the friend who invited you in your friend list and make some 2v2, so I guess it's to test 2v2s. | ||

a. Give it to a friend that we know is dying to play b. Sell it on ebay, which someone who is dying to play will buy it (not that I plan to or support this option) Either way, blizzard get people that are going to take advantage of the key. Better odds than throwing random keys to WoW fans who signed up. just my opinion. I myself know the person getting my second key will be playing every minute he can. | ||

It doesn't matter if people who don't play much get keys. If people don't play much, they just add more keys. What will happen is that people will start to play a lot of 2v2, seeing as people's friends will get into the beta. This will be a chance for Blizzard to test and improve on Battle.net's social system. | ||

I just can't pass over that Blizzard sent "Friend invite" to current beta testers when there's so much people around who deserved beta more then 90% current beta testers (I am not counting myself btw, I didn't deserve nothin', I just badly want to play it.), it's kinda unfair even if they did this for a good reason. They could at least do this by sending 1/2 keys as "Friend invite", and other half to Opt-in people.. blah. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, me rage! Anyway, good luck and have fun everyone who got key in this "friends wave". Enjoy the game and please don't quit after few losses to level ur Paladin alt! :D | ||

The entire opt-in scenario is flawed, mainly because there is no differientiation of users other than system specs, in order to filter out the people who actually contribute feedback and useful balance changes, and the people who couldn't give less of a shit about anything. Seeing long-term Starcraft fans, and even previous useful beta-testers getting the shaft, when they could actually be supplying Blizzard with vital feedback on their newest popular game, brings somewhat a tear or two to my eyes. And now the said people with keys, will get another one to throw away at their useless friends or sell them at market price on ebay. In the meantime, people, like myself, who are ready to give an honest look at the beta and contribute some much needed testing and feedback gets left in the dust. yea yea, I get all that with the "we'll just add more keys" bullcrap, and we need serverload testing, but seriously, stop pretending people like WoW dudes, actually contribute anything other than one more spot the rest of us won't be putting to some good use. //rant over Congrats to all who got their keys tho :D! | ||

They want the Feedback that a large player-base provides. They want to test their servers, look at bugs, look at the game-statistics and if just 1 in 100 players provide written feedback, it's more than they can read. | ||

However, my friend did not get his key to pass out till recently. He made sure that he had finished all surveys that Blizzard has posted within the beta and then he was rewarded. No clue if the two events correlated with each other but he was pretty damn sure they were. So if you don't have a friend invite yet... take the two seconds to fill out the simple survey! ![]() | ||

I did talk to Blizz EU Billing yesterday though, about the friend invites, and got this response: As long as you are part of the Beta testing you should be receiving it. We have a processed a few but not all extra keys have been sent out yet, we expect to keep sending these over the coming few days. I hope this clarifies the situation, of course if you have more questions do not hesitate getting in touch with us again. Regards, Romain J. Billing Support Blizzard Entertainment Europe So I take it the keys are simply spread out over a few days, without any requirements (other than being in beta) | ||

Of course people are anxious to try this game and report feedback.. wouldn't you be if you DIDN'T have a key? Of course you would. You would be standing in the beggar line aswell, so can it with the condecending remarks. Just because you got a key and a friend key doesn't make you a God :D Play ball. | ||

Have been opted since the new battle.net launched, and still no beta key. People beeing able to invite their friends just made the chance even lower. Not to mention how many sells their beta keys on ebay Loosing hope that there will be a RANDOM wave now.

It saddens me that so many people at TL are still without a key. Luckly I got in last week, but this is still ridiculous. There isn't much Blizzard can do about it unfortunately.

My point is that the people with keys should give them out as soon as possible so that more people will be allowed access to the beta. Blizzard makes good games, I (as well as I hope everyone else) plan on purchasing it when it comes out, so why should I have to content myself with youtube videos in the meantime? Why should everyone not lucky enough to have been picked randomly? I played SC1 and loved it, I have opted in, but still no luck. Everyone with extra keys should think about this. | ||

If the keys grow exponentially, the more that are given out the better right exactly. Find someone and give them a key, if you have an extra just lying around. | ||

So if they want 2000 more people in beta they just send out 2000 invite a friend keys, so no, the numbers will not grow exponentially. | ||

Blizzard has a target number of users they want on Battle.net for their Beta testing. It looks like Blizzard wants to keep the number at roughly 10K users for the US region. This explains why not everybody that is active in the Beta got a friend invite. If Blizzard wants to expand their stress testing, or the number of active players on Battle.net starts to decline, then you can expect further invites. My guess is, they are gradually releasing keys to make up for those that stopped playing, to keep the active players at around 10K. As for the 10K number, dig through the interview with Dustin Bowder in the last 2 weeks - I'm too tired to look for that interview link now. | ||

I agree, what is the point of this another wave of fucking friend invites when people who are in now have like 5 keys while opt ins are left out There's a conflict of interest going on here. Players would like the SC2 beta key distribution to be focused towards getting the most players in as possible, as quickly as possible, to increase their own chances. Blizzard wants people who will make good beta testers. I can see how top-level players would make better beta testers than people in the lower leagues (copper, bronze) for instance. If highly skilled players are more likely to have other highly skilled friends waiting for an invite, then Blizzard can get better beta testers through the invite a friend method than by randomly selecting opt-ins. As a mac user, I'll never be able to get into the beta anyway ¬¬ | ||

I played SC since BW was released, although never competitively, played quite a bit of matchmaking in WCIII and TFT, played and finished Diablo II. Out of all of them I have always like SC the best (followed by WCIII), and I have literally been following StarCraft II and lurking about various forums for years like many other people before it was ever announced. However, all of those games were my brothers and are hiding out somewhere in storage at our parents' house so neither of us can find them or use the keys. I happen to own WoW, although I've never gotten past level 38 in the game so I am by no means a "WoW player" but that is the only key out of all of the games that I have attached to my B.net account. To make a long story short, I think I deserve a chance to get a key too, although I'm certain my situation is quite unique. Of course there are many WoW players who couldn't care less about SC, but don't generalize! Speaking of this though, I really do wonder if the chances of getting a key are better if you have more games attached to your account. My WoW account hasn't even been active in over a year at least, probably longer. I've actually been considering buying either the SC or WCIII Battlechest lately to maybe help my chances. I'd probably get the WCIII one since SC2 is so close to release, it'd be pointless to buy the original. | ||

In terms of numbers of Blizzard titles i've bought the number is far far higher then you could imagine. I bought Starcraft & BW for myself and 2 friends, WC3 & TFT I bought 3 times for myself because I kept losing the keys after formatting my pc and I bought an extra 5 copies of TFT and gave them away in competitions in the early days for TFT to promote its adoption amoung my clan and friends. WoW I paid for 2 accounts, player transfers etc. Considering ppl who don't even have SC in there battle.net account are getting in are getting in it's a kick in the teeth but what can you do other then be sad. Annoyingly i'll have to buy 3 copies of SC2 1 for me for Europe 1 for US and 1 for my nephew. And yet I don't get in beta while I have so much free time being jobless and bored all day ![]() | ||

Yeh they can't know but the friends invites kind of means they stopped caring about pc specs anymore as the invites can go to anyone which is why it'd be nice if they gave priority to ppl with sc & wc3 in there accounts so they know they are into rts's at least. Worrying about the low end players isn't that important as they will have the challenges and casual leagues and ranks to help with that problem imo. Can understand there reasoning but man it sucks for us watching streams everyday ![]() | ||
