Not sure if it's been posted yet:

Greetings,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the status of the StarCraft II Beta.

Phase 1 of the Beta has ended at this time. While we finish up preparation for our next phase of Beta, access to the StarCraft II Beta will be disabled. We anticipate the next phase of the beta (Phase 2) will begin sometime in early July 2010. All players who had access to Phase 1 will retain access through Phase 2. Additional information regarding invites for Phase 2 is not available at this time.

Should any news be announced regarding Phase 2 of the Beta, it will be posted on our StarCraft II Beta forums at http://forums.battle.net/index.html?sid=5000. These forums will remain open during this downtime for any StarCraft II discussion you may wish to have. Note that you require a prior Beta account in order to post on these forums.

Thank you very much for your interest in helping us better our games!

kinda redundant and useless, are you assuming people here don't know the beta is down?

Anyone have any guess on changes? I'm guessing a lot of things will be improved.

I'm going to assume they're going to throw the full set of features they intend on giving you on release so that they can have the product as a whole polished completely for release date

What I really WANT to see is:
-Chat channels (lol.)
-The custom map system suck less - popularity is a terrible way to be forced to sort by
-New ladder maps, especially 2v2/3v3/4v4
-Lurkers

I bet they will make it so we start with 4 drones now instead of 6. Now wouldn't that just be a mindfuck

Nah they're probably going to add back some bnet 1.0 features and make balance changes. That would be kinda bizarre and cool if they changed starting drones to 4. Also they'll probably change the netcode.

Didn't see this, thank you OP.

(PS, your link includes the period "." at the end and directs to a 404 Blizzard page. Not really critical, just something to note)
