You can't upgrade beta to retail because beta does not have any of the single player.. The retail client is 7gb.

Downloading as we speak

Very nice of Blizzard - I do hope it dosn't fuck up the activation on the 27th though.. 7-9-13
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

So it isn't the actual game you're downloading, just bits and pieces plus the client? Still! Data mining must commence to spoil the game before release for absolutely no good reason....other than to satiate my struggle of waiting!

Change 87527 to 88888 or something and you get someone else's profile. Starts at 1. Sometimes you get a "not found" bust most of the time people pop up.


If I had some more time I'd write some programs to go harvest all the match data, that's the more interesting info to see what the win rates are...


are you saying someone could make a global ladder? If so go, go go... its clearly why blizzard put it up there. Someone can do thier work for them

So it checks the date from the Blizzard servers.

UPDATE: Used a packet sniffer to see what the installer does, among other things it tries to get an auth code from a file on battle.net website.

http://eu.battle.net/static/mediakey/sc2-authenticationcode-enGB.txt

Atm this only says "MSG:27/07/2010" , it will probably change on launch the with the code it requires.

In the meantime it seems the E from the .MPQE file extension stands for encrypted, as it can't be opened with any conventional MPQ viewer.

That's what I've managed to find out so far, so you won't be able to install SC2 without hacking the installer.

So, shall we brute force for a key? It's a long time until 27
And forgive me nothing for I truly meant it all

Who is gonna sell it to you at 12:00 on the 26th? I don't even think the auth servers will be up at that point.

Yes that's exactly what you can do, right now. All the info is there, including rating. All you have to do is harvest everyone's data with a script and sort by rating. Instant global ladder.

Pretty sure Europe and Russia are one region as well as Korea and Taiwan.

The 4 links at the top imply 4 regions, still too much fragmentation in my eyes.
