well... that sucks, so may 31st then say 2 or 3 weeks off it comes back online around june 25th (guess between 2 and 3 weeks) out for maybe 2 to 3 more weeks before it goes offline again before game comes out. That gives somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks of beta time left to play start mass gaming now

This is a big relief for me in many ways...I can finally get back to focus completely on other things.

So what does this mean for map makers? Will we still be able to use the editor while the beta is down?

oh god i hope this means blizzard is doing mass patching within the next 2 weeks, either that or the downtime is a giant patch since they said beta IS coming back a few weeks before retail.

The mapmaker will be useable, i bet you anything they are taking it down so people make maps for a few weeks so once its back up and they have custom map hosting, it'll be all good ^^

Surely there will be some kind of private server system? For many the summer holidays are starting just about there and it'd be a shame if we were not able to spend the hot, sunny days inside practicing SC2..

..It's going to be a god damn pain if there's no private server available at that time. I wonder what IdrA and other Korean progamers are going to do during that time.

I would really really be interested in knowing how far the server emulation has gone with SC2, is it at all realistic to expect there to be an alternative way to play multiplayer after the official beta ends?
