Maybe it was your friend sending a fake email to make you share his beta with him? :p

Can you clarify more, what exactly does it say ? Does it have an actual key? etc

*smells like trolling*

I'm not sure this is real. Is this really a good idea? People have been selling these keys for hundreds, why give people a free key to sell?

Yes, key is further down, and is different from the key that im playing from atm. . So you can basically give the key to whomever. (the mail didnt contain any more interesting info, except the key ).

I gave mine to a friend and he has confirmed that it instantly added SC2 beta to his bnet acc.

@Foxyboxing: I agree, its stupid of blizzard to give people more keys to sell etc., i dont get why they dont just add more opt-ins into the beta pool.

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.

@Starcraftman: Thats some talk about Bnet 2 something?

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.

even if its from US blizzard mail, it can be for EU. I got my first for EU from US mail adress, and this one too, and i assume that the 2nd one will be for EU just like the 1st one.

An attempt to get people to use Real ID and more 2v2's imo, if legit. Which isn't something guaranteed by adding more people via the opt in etc.

This is NOT fake. I received an e-mail as well.

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

So frustrating though, since many of those who no longer play or sold their key will be getting a second one... I fail to see why they didn't just release more random keys to opt-ins, it's not like it's hard to find 2v2 partners and whatnot.

Its hard to find 2v2 games though, sometimes up to 10 min wait time. But im unsure if thats the reason for launching it. Perhaps it has something to do with the ladder reset.

This is disgusting, people who opted in still havent gotten theirs, and a thousand wow-tards suddenly got more keys to sell
Sure, some people really are gonna give their friends the key, but the overwhelming majority will just sell it like they sold their first probably

The pool of players for 2v2 has been healthy! Sometimes after midnight PST it takes 10 minutes to get an opponent but I figure because everyone's sleeping.

The email being the same doesn't mean anything - scammers can fake the email. If you are required to visit a site for the key, be VERY careful to check the site name.

Maybe the 2v2 pool in EU server has been crappy?

I think this is the reason why European beta key holders are getting it and not North Americans...

Well, too bad everyone I know who would play SC2 opted in long time ago and none of them have a key. So my chances are still pretty slim.

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...

I think this is a great idea from blizzard, it's also a lot cheaper and easier for them to give out another key to the selected few who already has 1 than to pick out even more ppl based on something they wrote in some sort of personal letter-,-V

Wow! I hope some people are generous and give out keys!

Heck, I may be willing to buy one if they get really cheap from the invites.

Wonder when this will be active for the US.
I enjoy watching more than playing.

Maybe TL would want to organize this madness? Make a donate your key get a special icon thing? then all the keys they get they raffle to TL users or something? Just an idea.

i wonder how theyre deciding who gets to invite friends? From reading the email that someone took of a picture of, it sounds like it might be for people with few to no friends on their friend list (since it sounds like the main reason was to encourage them to try out the social features).

people who got invites, what are your friends lists like? big or empty?

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?

This is actually a really smart idea by blizzard. Their reasoning here is probably that they want more 2v2 teams to try to balance 2v2 aswell. What better way to get 2v2 teams than to let people share keys with their friends? I know from personal experience that at certain times 2v2 queues are extremely long and there are very few divisions compared to 1v1.

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

On the battle.net account management page, there's an option under Communication preferences where you can sign up to "receive news and special offers" from Blizzard. Could it be that beta participants with this option checked got a friend invite, while those with it unchecked, did not?

I'm in the beta, didn't check it (frankly I didn't know about it till now) and didn't receive an extra invite, and talked to another guy in the same situation.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?

the invite-a-friend thing is a really good idea. I just hope that not too many people's friend is eBay. It's unfortunate for us anti-social types though t.t.

Looks like this is mostly for europeans

Look, I know you are pissed off that you haven't received your key yet, but there is only so many times we can tell you that it is up to Blizzard. We have contacted them on your behalf, but there is nothing else we can do.

Actually, you gave us your email looooong ago, Blizzard has it along with everyone elses.

Honestly, don't worry - it's Blizzard, they won't let you down.

I hope i get one . I'm sharing my account with a friend , and not that it bothers me , but i wish we could start playing together so i can try out some builds . Whenever i try a risky build on the ladder it ends up epic failing and i just get angrier for losing to some noob .

I also got one just now - i'm not too sure but I think they sent it at midnight (i'm in Calgary, MST Time).

I think this is a really good idea from Blizzard - it's always funner when you get to play with friends

Someone give me the number/letter format and I'll start typing random combinations into battle.net

In other news, they should track the activity of how often people check their battle.net accounts and give keys to the people that are rabidly foaming at the mouth while hitting f5 repeatedly.

Another benefit is that people who are sharing accounts no longer need to do so. The bad part is that people who don't even have a friend who got a beta key are now worse off than ever. I wonder how many people from singapore got a cd key?

They think everyone's as slow as they are in getting things done. Probably didn't expect people to actually email out their keys until like a month from now.

It's probably a good way to insure getting users who will play becuase these people will have friends to play with etc.

To answer some questions for Ideas:

My friend's account had 3 friends. Played lots of 2v2s though. Also all were platinum top 10.

Edit: Thank you for confirming they aren't working. Mine's still not working either.

It can't be april's fool even. It is too much of a dick move and would ensure real outrage. Sigh, crossing my fingers for beta key to drop down from heaven.

I received a key tonight. I am U.S. based and I got a key. I will give it to a friend tomorrow to activate and once he does I will let you if it worked for sure or not. I at this point do 'NOT' think it is fake at all.

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.

lol yea. It's definitely not April Fools.

I hate saying these kinds of stories, even I myself didn't give it much credibility until this thread; but, a couple months back I had a friend who told me he knows a guy who knows someone in the press (works for a magazine, something idk). 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.

Friend got his email a few minutes ago.

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.

People need to stop posting requests for a key here. Most people are unlikely to give it to a random person and even if they did, I doubt they would pick the people who are asking here.

For those who actually care about post count or whatever you can obviously see mine.

My friend did get a email with the share friend-key and it is not working at this moment. We are both US. When I put the game key in it says ' Key is invalid '

Are u sure that you didnt put your cd-key in the Redeem Code?
Use the Add or Manage a game option to turn your key in!
Simple mistake that some people make.

I received a key from Blizzard and use it on another account with no problem at all. (I am on Asia server)

I have copied pasted, typed it myself, have had someone else type it. Tried typing it with and without caps and hyphens even though it says you don't need them and it auto corrects.

I am reading the actual email account of my friend and putting in the code and it's not working. Your experience is not normal, as you can see many people say theirs aren't working either.

I'm pretty sure everybody in beta has gotten a key.

I personally will put it on my other battle.net account and lend it out to my friends.

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.

I have confirmation of someone who got a friend key on a US account and was able to register it on battle.net, so this is definitely working for US accounts. Just wait for the keys to become active.

it may seem bad but people are getting desperate for a key. People actually pay eBay prices to obtain one. Sc2 is big and people really want in.
Also I wonder if they chose players who 2v2 frequently to give these keys to.

I think the most important thing for me to keep in mind is that I don't have any European friends that are in the beta so it doesn't matter in the slightest amount.

not everyone. take me for example, i have been here constantly for last 6 years (and registered in 2005), so i think as a model-forumer i have a right to hope and politely ask for a friend invite. especially because no one in my poor asian country received a single key for the beta. i know that it would've made me feel real good if i was the one with the beta and had a possibility to make someone happy.

I think this mail goes out to just random people who are in the beta.

I signed up for the opt in like 2 weeks after the beta started. 1 week later I got my key, and now I got the email with a key that I should give to a friend.

then they can buy the damn game like i did (and no this was not an official "my beta is up for sale")

i mean its one thing to get the beta for free in the first place and then get this extra beta today, then sure give it to a pal its not like u payed for it, but i did. i spent a shitload to get the beta and now ur telling me i should give my +1 just because the title says so?

you really don't have any friends?

why the hell would i give my beta away for free? all my friends and classmates play other games, not starcraft so why would i give it to someone who wouldnt use it as much as me


just weird that you really don't have any friends that would like to play sc2 with you.

and i'm not taking "personal shots at you cause im jealous" i'm in beta, and i got a friend invite, and i gave it to a friend because that's the logical thing to do.

I am sure he has, but the possibility to actually play other races and smurf instead of loosing rank due to important e-penis effect is much bigger!

The good thing is that maybe I still have the time to complete Dragon Age.

how is your first key related? theyre giving you an extra one and i dont see why you would need an alternate account. surely if you dont want to give it to a random dude you could find someone you know who wants it and would play with you or whatever? i mean whats the point of an alternate account in beta..

if i would have gotten my beta for free in the first place id gladly give it to a friend or something, but its a different story if u payed for ur beta in the first place.
i played at least 2k games of starcraft 1 for 2 straight years and almost 600 games on the beta, why would a random guy who knows me deserve it more than me

to be franc i think the majority who gets an extra beta sells it, not just gives it away, cause thats just stupid lol

Yeah, got one as well, giving it to my roomate who was sharing my key since i got into beta. But when he tried it, it was invalid, so am guessing it has yet to be activated.

Either way pretty awesome of blizzard :D...

Am truly disappointed at Blizzard for not having connected servers atm, even more disappointed that they will not have the servers with asia/europe even connected at launch. Epic fail.

everyone totally know each other in the tournaments, it feels like iccup was before ppl started smurfing

its not like ur gonna have any hidden strategies cause u spend all ur time on the ladder against the same 50 ppl that is the same 50 ppl in the tournaments, having a smurf is a huge deal for a competitive gamer

in the ladder of TvT ppl did stupid strategies on me, failed and then when we met in tournaments there has been so damn many ppl who has just copied me

im off to school now, i hope we can end this discussion and forget i ever brought it up lol

i might just throw a funny TL competition if i get bored with it or realize it was a stupid idea to smurf cause winning a tl competition is better than just being given to it cause ur a friend, its a win win)

Besides the Fact that ppl may sell the keys, I think FriendKeys are a much better option than just randomly giving out keys, because as we've seen, lots of ppl sell them anyways.

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. -.-°

I heard begging gets you banned .... ebay is not the place to be if you are a poor student.
Sooooo... I'm off buying beer :D

haha awesome i got an extra beta key, ill use this one to smurf on ! (im a spoiled nerd now lol)

I'm just curious, what would you possibly achieve by smurfing in beta?

everyone totally know each other in the tournaments, it feels like iccup was before ppl started smurfing

its not like ur gonna have any hidden strategies cause u spend all ur time on the ladder against the same 50 ppl that is the same 50 ppl in the tournaments, having a smurf is a huge deal for a competitive gamer

in the ladder of TvT ppl did stupid strategies on me, failed and then when we met in tournaments there has been so damn many ppl who has just copied me

im off to school now, i hope we can end this discussion and forget i ever brought it up lol

i might just throw a funny TL competition if i get bored with it or realize it was a stupid idea to smurf cause winning a tl competition is better than just being given to it cause ur a friend, its a win win)

edit: oh man im having so much guilt right now, tnx alot :/

I can see where this is coming from and I can relate to that, but.. in beta?

ive come to finals 2 times and semi final 1 time so far, if id win all id be 300$/euro~ up and its just been about 2 weeks. its already beta and the money pool is up lot higher.
if i was smurfing already back then im pretty sure i would have won it, thats how big a deal it is to know ur opponent in a rts game
edit: ah fuck swedish lesson lol

beta will not be saturated. Plenty of keys will just sit unused while plenty more are sold on ebay, taking a week or such to finally be auctioned off and used.

well, it just shows morrow has a poorly developed sense of social justice / comradeship. would probably eat another steak where he's full and ppl right and left are hungry (steak = beta).

i mean, this is a community, if you want to be part of it at least don't be so fucking smug with a ridiculous behavior such as smurfing in beta

Great. I got a friend invite too for EU beta (sender SC2betaGB). Thankfully I have real life friends who were very active regarding SC1 in the past and have not yet received a beta key. I guess this one goes to a person with whom I played SC1 frequently in 1998 via null modem

Definately not.
I didn't play a single game outside of 1v1 and got it.


I can confirm this. I have not played any 2v2s with my account, but now this will most likely change..

I'm pretty sure Blizzard isn't dictating to people how to use the key

And in case you didn't know, people eat steaks every day while other people starve. You probably do, too. Why would proximity matter?

I completely agree with Morrow. I feel like no one would be complaining if he stated he sold his key, it is just that there is an inherent thought of 'waste' in an decision to smurf and it such key would be more 'useful' if given, whereas selling provides a seemingly better option than giving it away, but smuring is not.

I'll back Morrow's view on this one, though I think its slightly messed that for not sharing the key You're still cool bro.

Anyway, I don't keep up with the foreigner scene much, let alone the korean scene since SC2 came out, but from what I've read in TSL interviews and other TL articles I can assume that MorroW is an extremely competitive individual who works hard for his skills.

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

Why does caring for others have to do with how much you payed? Giving away your steak/key yields the same advantages and disadvantages for you regardless how much it cost you.

edit: Do with your key what you want, I just don't get this reasoning.

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...

You probably wont be able to sell it for a lot anyway. The big cash could be done during the first few days but I have a hard time seeing someone getting 100$ for a beta key now. And the smurfing is stupid as well. They are gonna reset the ladder now soon and you are able to chose a new ID if you want to. If you are afraid ppl will still find you, well they would find the smurf as well. Because to practice a good build you need to play good people, which means you will have to end up with the top50 anyway. And with some unknown terran being very good ppl will start wondering who it really is.

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.

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
Really, play for fun!

The only thing I see wrong with what MorroW said is that most people will sell their keys... I think the vast, vast majority will give to a friend (95%+). Yeah, you'll see lots on ebay, but there are thousands and thousands of keys already out there... they make up a small percentage

blizzard shouldve made it so that you have to enter the email of your friend's account before they can get the key and give the key to that person so that itd be too difficult to sell and it'll ensure to go to a friend to play it, so that people wont be able to sell it to me a quick buck

Make another acount for yourself = problem solved?

Or do you mean that the game will appear and no key will bea valiable?

"Tell your friends to try to input only the first 26 digits of the code. There seems to be an issue with the code itself having a problem. We are looking into it.

Edit: The codes you got have 27 digits, so just leave away the last one (clarifying, so you don't need to count).

Was this really the best idea from Blizzard...? 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.

You just have to give it a day or two. I think all people that already in the beta are now receiving a additional key to invite their friend.

Blizz's customer support has to manually add several thousand keys because the USA ones are not working. That ain't testing stress on shit except their patience.

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.

Well, it's a bit early to complain about that.

I mean if you have to send your key to them, expect a 2-3day waiting period at least.

ye well, i bought the cow and i cooked it. you want stake? buy your own freaking cow

if the cow would have jumped up in my boat in the middle of the ocean and cooked itself, then id share it. i think u r the only whos poorly developed in sense of social justice


you may do with your key as you wish, it's just a frickin waste to use it to smurf in the beta whereas other people don't have a key at all (and no, this is not an anonymous forum with random strangers you'd give it to but a community: my point)

Maybe the invalid keys are only going to work once the servers reset.

Could be to add their stats about new people and the game release.

I can confirm that my friend who's account I've been sharing got one and sent it to me late last night. I tried putting it in this morning.... "Invalid Key"

Probably have to wait for start of business today before they become active.

Anyone on the US able to get theirs to 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.

Thank you for your understanding

By the way after we have had a few cases contact us, we will be able to sort it out for everyone. So you'll just have to wait a little bit and your key should be activated. Just check it again tomorrow.

I recieved a Key from a friend of mine.
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.

You have to contact them.

If you didn't add an authenticator chances are you got hacked and that person did. You will have to call CS probably and confirm you are the owner

I think what blizzard is doing is a great idea. 2 things will happen:

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.

Yeah, frustrating is good word to explain situation.

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

It seems that the majority of people already in the beta has received a friend-invite.. did Blizzard just potentially double the player-base or did I miss something?

I never fail to laugh about the fact that a fair majority of the beta-test player base will probaly not contribute a damn thing, let alone submit any actual balance/feedback. They will play a few games, like the flavour of the month game, they treat SC2 as, and then go play something retarded mobile Iphone game.

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!

You do realize that Blizzard knows that and intentionally does that?

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.

The problem with your point fischer, is that you assume the only point of the beta is to get people to provide written accounts of what they have seen. While those are important, they need to test things like battle.net stress levels, as well as getting valuable statistics for winning races etc. Also while they want sc2 to be enjoyable at a pro gaming level, they also want it to be very accessible as a 'my first rts' game as well, and just because something is balanced for progammers doesn't mean it will be for the rest of us.

So I have a friend key to give out. All my friends that are even remotely interested in the game already have keys. So if there is anyone here with over 1000 posts, that does not have a key let me know. I wont be able to check this that often as I am in the middle of deploying to afghanistan, but I would like someone who should have a key and doesnt to get a chance.

What does posting count have to do with how eligible a person is to contribute beta feedback and changes?

A person with 1 post count could be 500 times more effecient than a guy with 10.000 :D

Xordiah on B.net forums:

"Please contact our billing support and inform them of your problem, also letting them know which key you got. They will see that those keys are activated.

https://us.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml
https://eu.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml"

and

"Tell your friends to try to input only the first 26 digits of the code. There seems to be an issue with the code itself having a problem. We are looking into it.

Edit: The codes you got have 27 digits, so just leave away the last one (clarifying, so you don't need to count).

While this could be the case, I am just wanting someone who is loyal to the SC scene to get a key. Being a long time/active member of this site shows me that. Yes I have low post count but then again I am new to the SC scene. I was a WC3 player previously and now play(ed) in plat div 10.

Can anyone confirm if EVERYONE currently in beta will get an "Invite" key? I ask, because i talked to afew of my teammates who have keys (pretty much everyone in rS.SC2 beta squad has keys except me lol) and the ones ive spoken to, did not get the email yet =[

Is it just like another opt-in, where its random people selected to give invite keys?

No key, no friends with keys, and I've entered the contests...

Is anyone else totally bummed out when they see all the new names of streams coming out, wishing that they were one of them, and aren't?

Dud are you being mean or what? There's like at least 20 people (me included) that need the key and you're posting that you really can't give it away? Give it to one of the guys here (probably not me as I'm the ranting one ) and feel satisfied that you made someones life better.

My friend (shared the account up till now) just sent a key my way. Obviously its invalid like the rest of everyone else but I figure I would add that update to this list.

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 really doubt it. I got my friend invite without filling out the surveys. 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,

So I take it the keys are simply spread out over a few days, without any requirements (other than being in beta)

Just wanted to update this. I and my wife will be deciding who I give the key to by reading the PM's and seeing who is the most deserving. I hope to be able to give the key by sunday or whenever I am able to get on the internet again. If you 'applied' and somehow get a key between now and then, please let me know in case I select you and you already have a key. Gl and sorry I dont have a key for everyone.

Hey all, been using TL for few years now, never arsed to make an acc for this site though. So here's my first post anyway (despite not having a key!). It seems like they're solving the key problem so you'll be able to apply it later today:

Xordiah * 31. Re: Beta Key invalid? 03/18/2010 05:00:16 AM PDT

Ok, thanks for all reports. We have enough reports now to follow up on the matter. Please stop contacting support, we will pass this on to the appropriate departments and all keys should be activated later today PDT.

I recieved a freiend invitation 6 hours ago. He could activate it immediately, got his SC2 up an running and we could play about an hour after I got the mail from Blizzard. It works perfectly.

Yep, I gave me key to my friend and almost feel bad for him. He's been spamming the "Add Game" button as much as he WAS F5ing his b.net page. Probably worse now. Hahaha

While he is a 1 poster, he speaks the truth. My beta invite was invalid about an hour ago. I had sent an email though the blizzard forum and everything seems to work. Be it they fixed it from the email or though the natural progression of the fix... it now works.

Just got mine today and gave it to a bud. I guess they were sick of seeing the total people online at 5k or less. I bet they are getting ready to do the Beta server reset.

If you don't want people to PM you, maybe you should stop being a tease then, with the ooohhhoo I have NO FRIENDS who play SC2 BUT ME... whoeeeeever shall it be.. and shit like that..

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.

Seen this asked a couple of times, but have not seen an answer yet. If you get a key from an EU friend, do you need to make an EU Battle.net account and add it there, or will it work on a US Battle.net account?

sent you a pm.

I think most of the keys are validated now and ~7500 people online from what I heard. Might hit 10,000 later today? Spring break for most schools as well.

You might get that problem if you try to play it with the wrong client, like US client on an EU account or stuff like that. I mean, at least that's what I think. I tried sharing an account with a friend some time ago, using the client that's on torrent sites, and it gave the same error. I now have the proper client, from blizzard's site and it works, but this time it's with my own account, so... not totally sure.

Hey guys just wondering, does everyone already in the beta get a friend invite code? Im not trolling btw, I have been lurking TL for like 2-3 years now mainly just watching the TLPD and reading some threads but I just wanted to know if its confirmed that everyone that was in got a friend invite.

thanks guys.

After further reading, you're actually right. Its a localisation problem and all you have to do if you have this problem is download the client from battle.net. I downloaded the client off fileshack sometimes ago for replay viewing pleasure :p.

This is actually a REALLY good marketing idea from Blizzard. if even 1/2 of the people who get invited who didn't already want to buy SC2 do buy it then they made so much money. However i don't think any of my friends play SC so ill just be waiting for my opt-in key. Wish me luck!

It almost seems unfair that they're letting people invite their friends instead of continuing to give them to random people. As if the first key they got wasn't enough.

But I guess I'm just jealous.

I think they are getting ready to do some 3v3, 4v4 testing....so they want people to have friends in the beta so they can do that.

Hi! I'm not asking anyone to send me a key, because I fear the hammer, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any competitions for friend invite keys that might be going on anywhere?

I guess all the opt-in WoW/War3 crowd was too casual for blizzard. At the very least whether it is from a friend or ebay, the beta keys will end up in the hands of the people that want to play on a consistent basis. Hope their theory fails so they toss out more opt-ins. =)

If I received beta and I got a beta friend invite, I would invite all those SC2 cakes from last summers contest that didn't get a key yet!
good luck have fun!

With this friend invite stuff going on, have they completely stopped giving out normal opt-in keys? I guess that means no legit way for me (or my two best friends who I would've intended to share with) to get into the beta.

We decided to wait if one gets a key next week, than the other one could get mine.

Good think though from Blizz !

I received a friend invite for US region 18 hours ago as of this post. Just finished a ~3 hour gaming session with the friend I sent the invite too. Everything confirmed working in good order. Good luck to all the hungry souls out there in need of a key.

good guess is invites go out in periods [probably the same way like the initial beta] to prevent registration servers from crashing duo to instant load and/or in case they do prevent other realms from doing so

I'm sort of regretting always "lone wolfing" on battle.net now. Very rarely have I participated in clans and have maybe 1 or 2 people on my f list. Looks like I'm waiting until the actual release eh?

But if they ever DID do that, we would have to set up a thread on TL where the next person down gets invited, and it will be a very long chain until everyone ends up with a key

There were 9.8k on earlier tonight when I last looked on the USA server alone. I would imagine that there have been at least 100k keys given out world wide if there are similar numbers online in asia and europe.

It would be funny if Blizzard just released an open beta really soon. Then the people who spent the hundreds on a key will be like "WTF?!"

Or only wave 1 beta testers only had a key?

hey guys, i know its almost weekend and im very curious if anyone still has keys from blizzard invite friend. Anyone would like to share with me and play 2v2 together? i know i would love to have some great fun, been looking forward this game for very long time !!



What exactly is begging? Is this kind of post acceptable? I want to request a key without mods flipping out and banning me.

i need a beta friend....
ever wished you wanted something so bad? and the other kid next door had not one but 2?
but you didnt knew the guy... and he sure didnt know you..
the first way to approach it is by you asking him to share with you...
and here i am.. wandering around hoping for some luck..

-This is just a typical story- hope it inspired some people.. and if it did. please do the right thing.

Same for me,

I managed to get hold of a friend invite beta key today, and about an hour ago I suddenly found a invite a friend beta key in my inbox, so it seems that they are still sending them out.

So you got a friend invite key, even though you got in with a friend invite? If that's true, I wonder if anyone else will have a similar situation. Congrats either way, very jealous!

So wierd. Friend A got a CD-key in the initial wave (or very early at least). A few days ago he got a friend invite and invited Friend B. Today friend B got TWO invites within 5 mins, inviting friend C and, luckily, me!

Just curious, Did you blizzard emails end up in spam?
I never got an invite and am killing myself thinking that the original email may have gone to spam and then got auto deleted after a month.

I'm not a huge fan of this invite system. Basically if you don't know many ppl personally in the BW or W3 community you're screwed (if you didn't get a key on the first two waves that is)

This sucks so hard, beeing the Only one interessted in Starcraft in my friendhood.

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.

There are still nice people out there. Today a guy who I don't know that well, at some other forum, gave me his "Friend invite" key. I am so so so happy and I am sure I'll do the same if and when I get second key. HAPPY FACE! :-)

P.S.
The real reason why I am posting this is to ask if someone of you know for sure that Blizzard will send more "Friend invite" keys? And if they do, will new beta testers get one as well? Thought there's maybe official (blue) post about it but couldn't find.

I just got given a key by a friend, about to start placement matches. We will def be 2v2 ing hard been planning this for years. Personally I think it's bloody brilliant:0) I do think this means that they will open up the beta more and more as the release date approaches. RAG

I just checked my e-mail and I can confirm this. I got invited by my friend a few days ago, right after this "invite a friend" wave started - and now I can invite someone.

Hm, hm, what to do with this key.

Oh damnit I guess my inbox will be flooded by tomorrow. Well, someone had to confirm it

I know a guy who bought a key (from the 2nd wave) and he hasn't received an invite either.

Either that, or he REALLY wants to ignore me and every other person begging for a SC2 invite. Ho-hum.

Do you think friends who got a beta key from a friend would get another beta key before the rest of us opt-ins? Like a second round of "friend invite" would happen before the rest of the opt-ins....

not sure but they said that they will invite more people from opt in and that they are thinking about sending more friend keys but with different activity requirements (this time it was everyone who logged in atleast once in last 3 weeks)
but they also said that they want to have cca 10k people online at the same time. There are 13k online atm, and 7-9k during weekdays

Sorry to revive the thread but I do have a valid question.
A friend of mine invited me for beta then I got a 'invite a friend key' from blizzard on the following day. Has anyone else who were invited by a friend get this email? Is the beta invite meant to cycle?

Good more keys are lying around, but yeah shame no opt-in. If anyone has an extra key from this, I'll gladly take it off your hands!

For the EU servers:

at peak hours it's between 10k-13k, and at other hours where a lot of eu-people are sleeping/working around 7-8k.

I just got one. None of my IRL friends are that big into SC so it looks like it might be time to have a iCCup TV SC1 beta key tourney ....

Oh by the way. If you are wanting a friend to give you a key, you might want to have them check their Spam folder in their email. For some, it may go straight there so be on the look out.
Is it in you?

This is so stupid from Blizz. Why would they just not give keys to people with SC in their account?? Whats a WOW guy thats never played SC going to give us, he will pass a key on to another guy that wants to see new blizz graphics who will pass it on to some other guy. 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.
good luck have fun!

There isn't much Blizzard can do about it unfortunately. Sometimes life is just unfair. We just have to wait, everything comes in time.

People seem to think that the only possible branches for Keys are:

WoW Nub -> eBay / WoW Nub -> eBay/WoW Nub

But there are plenty of Kewl TLer / WC3 Guy -> Kewl TLer / WC3 Guy -> Kewl TLer / WC3 chains, too.

So, from what I am hearing (and considering that Blizz doesn't seem to be talking about anything that anyone actually wants to hear) the friend invites seem to be growing exponentially: 1 person gets an invite, they invite their friend, second person gets an invite as well as the original, and they both invite two more people after a certain amount of time, etc etc. This makes sense if Blizz is trying to test out (put stress on) all of their social features of b.net by creating webs of players that know each other or at the very least share the bond that was created by one gifting the other a key.

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.

exactly.

Find someone and give them a key, if you have an extra just lying around.

The problem is that blizzard does not give a invite a friend key to everyone.

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.

Even if only, say, half of the "active" people in the beta got new keys, the growth could still be exponential. (amount of players in the beta / 2)*(2)^(how often new keys are given out) could still grow quite quickly.

Stop trying to argue against my seemingly altruistic but ultimately self-serving points.

Maybe FictionJV was right. If they only want to give out 2000 keys, they'll only give that much out. Not everyone would get a friend invite. I'm dry on this end (canada) too.

Not sure what you meant, but the 2nd key was sent to the account activated with the 1st friend invite key not my original key.

Arrrg, people getting 3-4 keys before I even get one! So unfair .
Btw, that's kind of weird that Blizzard is sending different regional keys to everyone like people who already has a key in Asia gets a key for U.S.

I guess it'll only take two additional waves until someone I know will get a key. Then it'll only be one additional wave until I get mine. Assuming everyone with a key gets a new one that is.

Doesn't work that way. 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.

You should've asked your friend to register an account at us.battle.net and activate the key using the account which was REGISTERED in the us server.

Ugh. I thought the "invite a friend" was a good idea at first, but now I'm starting to really not like it. No friends in beta and no key for me through opt-in or contests, and the only way I was gonna likely get in was through opt-in.

One friend-invite was fine... but now it seems like people will get three or four keys when others get none. FML.

I didn't get a second friend invite yet, nor have my stats reset... (Nor has anyone's stats reset, from what I can tell?) I was torn between two friends to invite before too, so I really want that second friend invite >_<

(Sorry to all those who still don't have a key though )

Are they only giving friend invites now.. no keys for the left-out?

My hope for a beta key is dead with this f***ing friend invite idea. The only thing I am waiting for is that Blizzard will announce a ridiculously close release day on April, 1st, which eventually come true.

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

I broke down and bought a friend invite for $50 a week ago, and today I got a friend code in my inbox! Nice surprise, as I've got a friend who is dying to get in.

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 would just like to point out to the people who complain about WoW players getting in and not SC players:

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.

I played every blizzard game since Starcraft hardcore for years each and some I never stopped playing. Starcraft & BW since start, WC3 since start and TFT, WoW since launch for 2 years non-stop everyday.

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

It sucks, but it's not like Blizzard knows that about you. :/

And it's also pretty unfair to invite people based on how many games they have on their accounts; it's not about "loyalty", they want a wide variety of testers and system set ups to test their games. If all they invited were die-hard Blizzard loyalists, they would get biased feedback!

Agree with that. If they only invited StarCraft players or Blizzard fanboys, it will be biased. They are trying to create a game that will cater to outsiders as well.

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

As much as I dislike the friend invites (mainly because I don't have any friends that are in the beta), it seems to be working better than the first couple rounds of opt-ins. I am all for the opt-in of people that actually have starcraft on their battle net accounts.

I wonder if they will ever just invite the opt-ins again, I want my key.... Seems like they were saying something a while ago that you could still opt-in and have a chance at getting into the beta, maybe they changed their minds and wanted to have people invite friends for testing out the social networking aspects of battlent?

I feel retarded for not posting this sooner, but Pape is the fucking man. Gives a beta key to someone he's never met on the internet, just trusts that I am deserving. I cannot ever thank you enough.

Although you probably did cause me to fail that calculus test I had today, I got the key at around 1AM last night...and well, lets just say there wasn't a lot of studying going on after that.

Cheers!

Woah, it's a nice idea from Blizzard. If your friends are in the beta, the chances of you playing increases and they get more data.

do you only get to invite people if you get an email from blizz with a key or can it be done through the battle.net site?

No, I have a few friends who have had beta since it came out who have not gotten friend invite keys (otherwise i would already be in the beta.)

From what I've heard next patch is supposed to be a content patch, possibly including 3v3 and 4v4 player modes. Which means that if you have two buddies playing together since the first "invite a friend" it's likely that they will try out the 3v3 system if they get to invite a third friend. Good thinking, Blizzard =)

Friend invites haven't happened in a while. You don't get one just for being in the beta at anytime, there were certain points where Blizzard sent waves of friend invites to those in the beta. So unless they decide to do another friend invite wave, you can't just invite a friend, sorry

I've got that email too, there is no key in that email so i guess they just activate the game in your account. But since i'm in the beta already (preordered) , nothing changed there.

If anyone actually still needs a key, I've got a preorder key I don't need. Apply by PM.


Edit: FFFFFUUUUUU, knew i shouldn't have done that. It's gone. Sorry to the 18 people who applied and didn't get a key, congrats to the first person who PM'd me.
