But I wonder what the point of this is. Can't think of too many things: - major overhaul based on data collected so far (unlikely, why all the balance changes then) - they're not satisfied with SC2 and will decide whether to cancel it (they better not!) - server localisation, next beta phase will feature the actual setup (with stress test) I guess it's the last, anyone else got other ideas? | ||

Its a beta, the entire purpose is to test and balance | ||

 Beta ends when my finals end and will most likely start back up when classes are in session again. | ||

Every Beta Blizzard has run basically has been done in two phases, one long first phase, and then after about a month break and some heavy changes, a shorter second phase follows. This is the best way for them to implement a Beta test, and doing it this way will allow players to play almost up until actual release of retail. The two-phase (or even multi-phase) Beta is common not only to Blizzard but many other developers; I'm sure there is a good number of changes that require server-side changes and general overhaul that can not be accomplished in a simple patch. | ||
