I just talked to a Gamestop rep, who said keys will start being emailed out from Gamestop at 11PM CST. I pre-order 2 Collectors edition back on 4/9. He said that as long as my pre-order was still open or processing (which it is) that I would be eligible for the keys. I am guessing the reset is coming tonight since there is going to be a hugeee influx of new beta participants tomorrow.



Lol..I don't think I can wait until 11pm CST, I've been sitting in my mail client f5ing for the last almost 2 hours..I'm going to need a new keyboard at this rate O.o

Hmm ok so here's my predicament -- I'm an American abroad in Europe and will be until mid-summer. As such, delivery of the game and what not is not a problem, as I suspect I'll be home by the time it's released. However, being that I will be in Europe until mid-summer, will the beta-key restrict me to US servers? Or even if luck permitting I can use it on the European servers, will I be able to switch to US servers upon returning to the US?

It don't matter where u live right now. The server Is picked from your client. So if you take US client and u live in europe your key will become US etc..

Is there a way to download the beta client with latest official patches from blizzard so I can logon asap once I get my key? Like many of you probably already have, I have a cracked singleplayer vs CPU client but want to prepare for the official beta once my key comes in..

Online or in-store?! This is important.


Anyone who pre-ordered online for in-store pickup get anything?

I don't think people understand. Beta keys aren't tied to a region. Your battle.net account will determine which server you get assigned to, B.net account or the client, like that guy said, whichever.

But if you're now here in Europe, I think you'll get assigned to the EU server. But when you return to the US, I have no idea if you'll stay be able to switch servers or not. Dunno if it stays locked on 1 region or if it adjusts accordingly.

But I'm sure once retail hits, you'll be playing on the US servers, provided that you'll be back in the US.

From what I hear the as long as any custom AI mods are removed the cracked game can be used with any battle.net account that is associated with a beta-key.

Hmm midnight EST, I hope it's true, and if so it's almost a blessing in disguise for me. Might actually do some of my school work.

I'm getting the feeling that sc2 release is so close by how blizzard is just throwing beta keys around. TL gets 500+. Facebook giving away 50 a day. And now Gamestop gives you one with a pre-order. Feels like blizzard is starting the stress test on the bnet2 servers.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!
