We would like to thank everyone who has participated in the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test. You've done an admirable job of testing, and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback you provided during this critical phase of development. It's been a lot of fun; however, all good things must come to an end.

In preparation for the launch of the game on Tuesday, July 27, the beta servers will be brought offline by Monday, July 19. At that time, all beta accounts and character information will be reset and the ability to create forum posts and comments on the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty website (http://beta-us.battle.net/sc2/en/) will be unavailable until launch. In the meantime, we still encourage everyone to stay tuned to the website for exciting news and updates regarding the upcoming release.

Thank you again for your participation, and we'll see you soon on Battle.net!

When phase 2 started, they announced that beta was going to end on the 19th. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I'm sort of happy because it allows me to play TF2 with the Engineering update just starting.

I wish they would have just ran beta through launch, rewarded us all with the multiplayer game at least until it would easily available (3 or 5 day shipping from launch date). Alas, we can only hope they gleaned useful information off beta to make the final product worth all the effort.

Question:

If the beta ends monday, does that mean within that 2 week timing they can produce all the disks and have the ready and shipped out by launch date? Seems like a short window to produce so many games.

The games have already been produced, and most likely shipped to the various regional distributors.

ah sh*t f*c*ing w*ore! Well at least I had fun with SC2 while it lasted. I don't think I will be buying the game, as my gaming days might just be over (Link). Anyone with Ottawa Lan info, I am most definitely 100% always down for it. I'll be seeing you guys, was fun. Enjoyed Beta Phase1, and 2. Thanks for the great RUNS. Ew that sounds so bad, such bad timing for an "S" when you don't need it imo. I already do feel sad, because I seem to have lost interest in the BW/SC2 scene over the period of beta down-time. Yet I am also excited because I am 22, still living at home, and not doing a thing because of gaming. I'll miss posting random stupidity. On second thought who knows, when it comes to SC, no one ever knows where they will end up. Either playing it, or not. To be or not to be, that is the question.

man I have not massed nearly as many games as I would have liked in phase 2. I'll probably end up playing the campaign for a little bit when it does come out because the ladders are going to be a Benny Hill movie of cheese and cute newbies going up and down the rankings.

So I'm not able to play much in beta phase 1 because of school, but that's alright I still have the summer to look forward to! Oh wait, I don't because I go on a month long road trip and the beta goes down the day I get back. Oh well, I guess it's only a week.

...are you serious? They announced that this was the schedule from the very beginning; they're only sticking to the plan. I guess they could leave the beta up for you, and then delay the ACTUAL GAME. That would be much better, right?

LOL, what are you 8 years old? Blizzard doesn't owe you anything. You had the PRIVILEGE of beta testing, or in other words, playing this game before millions of other people around the world that wanted to. You should be happy it actually came back online for a full week. They could have just said "screw it, we'll wait for launch" or just turn it on for 1 day to stress test it. Seriously, what is wrong with you?

So that leaves me with exclusive comp bashing during phase 2. Well, why not.

That's a shame. I'm getting my wisdom tooth out Monday and I'm going to be really bored at home for a few days. Would've liked to play the beta more.

So many ppl QQ-ing, don't forget that we're here in the beta to test, and 1 week doesn't seem bad at all seeing that we've been capable of surviving a month without it. Though I hope WE REQUIRE MORE MINERAWLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ comes back. :D

I really enjoyed BC2... much better imo than MW2. I enjoy the squad based play. Well, both had their pluses either way, but my MW2 disc got scratched and I haven't bothered replacing it.

I've also been buzzing through Darksiders as well, hah.

Hi,

I just wanted to share a bad new i found this morning Damn activision

http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a245153/call-of-duty-charging-by-end-of-2010.html

Activision will start charging gamers for playing the Call Of Duty series online by the end of the year, according to analyst Michael Pachter.

Speaking to Industry Gamers, Pachter said that consumers are increasingly shifting from packaged video games to online multiplayer, which they can enjoy for free.

He called on publishers to create a business model that "captures the value created by the multiplayer experience" or face declining revenues.

"While the shift has been great for consumers, who are enjoying an unprecedented, and largely free, game experience, it has been devastating for publishers and shareholders, who are seeing sales and profits decline," he said.

"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetisation of multiplayer.

"It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, micro-transaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty: Black Ops launches."

Last month, Activision chief executive Bobby Kotick said that if he could have one wish, he would make Call Of Duty "an online subscription service tomorrow".

Pachter said that Activison can tap into plenty of experience in creating successful subscription models via its partner Blizzard, which runs the World Of Warcraft series.

"It is likely that Activision will ease the pain of consumers, and will continue to offer some form of free multiplayer, at least for a while, but we believe it is imperative that the company begin to capture some value from the huge number of hours spent - 1.75 billion hours on Xbox Live alone through mid-April and we estimate that this figure is approaching four billion hours combined through today on Xbox Live and PSN," he said.

"We are quick to point out that the average single player game has an expected play time of under 30 hours, suggesting that a staggering 133 million units of equivalent game play have been spent (so far) playing Call Of Duty online, with Activision only seeing revenues from the original 20m units sold, plus an estimated eight million map packs sold."

What happened to the two week long phase 2? That's what I read some weeks ago at least. Or maybe it was "starting two weeks before release".
Well, hope the campaign will released by the scene this week.

Michael Pacther has been, in his life, correct about approximately one thing. And that's a generous estimate. He doesn't work for Activision-Blizzard, and he doesn't have any say with anything they do.


He was also the one who predicted that the Nintendo Wii would be a terrible failure 3 months out from its launch as the $600 PS3 would take off and be the most popular console in history.

In preparation for the launch of the game on Tuesday, July 27, the beta servers will be brought offline by Monday, July 19.


They used "by" and not "before". That's kind of muddy language. So I'm hoping that means it'll be running throughout Monday.

This is Blizzard though. Phase 1 was ending on the 1st. Phase 2 was starting in early July and running for a couple of weeks. Not even going into their history with past games.

Here's to hoping Blizzard fails to follow through one more time.

And back to laddering...

Presumably it ends whenever their employees show up for work tomorrow. If they were to take it down now that means they need someone putting in the overtime at the office right now.

Presumably it ends whenever their employees show up for work tomorrow. If they were to take it down now that means they need someone putting in the overtime at the office right now.


they could've just shut it down remotely if they really wanted to.

I don't believe there is a way to play an AI without logging in. Which is what they are actually shutting down. But, If there is a way - PLZ SHARE!

I don't know how viable making your own server to play is, but I suppose that is a possible way to continue PvP or PvAi.

I'm very hyped as well. Playing with real friends makes the game that much more fun! 1v1 Quick Match is also very well built. Campaign will be awesome too! July 27th Let's Go!

I had a bad dream. Don't be afraid, bad dreams are only dreams. What a time you chose to be born in...

Feb - July 2010...

She was a good beta. She was a kind beta. Although sometimes she was sometimes imbalanced and had PMS at seemingly regular periods of the month, she had her good days...

Please... let us take this time.. and share a few moments of silence for her passing. It is not goodbye, but goodnight, for one day when all is gone and dust to dust, we shall meet again... Amen.

Booted from my game and unable to log back in.

It's going to be a long week.

I have two books here I've been intending to read and a copy of the Big Libowski. They will keep my occupied in my free time. I hope.
