The sense of entitlement in some of the posts here is disgusting. You got something for free. Say thank you.

You got something for free and still complain. Get a grip son.

Oh man guys, there's no fucking reason they would suddenly send e-mails about that. If they wanted to do something like that there would be an official announcement.
How the hell can people still fall for this x.x Your sc2 beta test account came by email, didnt it? But I agree blizzard should make an announcement about something like this. Makes ppl like me feel real sus. Btw anyone successfully activated 30 days of WoW yet?
I just went onto battle.net, didn't see anything. Clicked the free trial ad and all seeing if that would bring me anywhere, it ended up just automatically adding the WoW trial to my account. Didn't plan on that happening, 10 days of WoW! Not going to touch it at all.

You can buy a WoW vanilla, BC and WOTLK pack for cheap nowadays. Thus, Blizzard giving away WoW vanilla is not that much.

Its fake: They would never talk with "I flagged ..... ".

Your Battle.Net Account Has Been Upgraded
Thanks a lot for being an early supporter of StarCraft II. The community is off to a great start, with over four million players worldwide and I'm pleased to report that the rumors of the death of real-time-strategy gaming have been greatly exaggerated.
As a thank you for your early support, I've flagged your Battle.net account to receive a free, downloadable copy of World of Warcraft. This is the full version of World of Warcraft that we sell in store and includes a 30-day subscription. Just follow the instructions below to activate it, download the game, and start playing. Again, it's totally free.
I'd also be interested in hearing any feedback you may have about StarCraft II: what was fun, what we could make better, etc. So if you have any thoughts, please send them along to SC2-feedback@blizzard.com.
Again, thanks for helping us make StarCraft II an epic launch, Joel, and I hope you'll enjoy adventuring in World of Warcraft and connecting with another fun part of the Blizzard community.
Yours sincerely,
Mike Morhaime
CEO & President of money sucking company bla bla bla.
Firstly, no real interest in WoW or any other MMORPG, hence I'm playing SC2, but is Blizzard far too cheap to let us get Cata? Like srsly. Secondly, I was nearly shitting myself when I saw "upgraded account". What does that mean?? Special portrait? Special colours/tags/ability to taunt?? Special DISCUSSION CHANNEL? but no, I give u the ability to play a game which 12 million players also play. Cool. Talk about exclusive privileges. Thirdly, I lol'ed at him reporting that the RTS is not dead. Lol. As long as TL is not dead, I doubt that the RTS genre will die. And of course as long as South Korea doesn't get rolled by Kim Jong-Il and his refreshes, the RTS, heck, the GAMING WORLD will not die. But then again stim is legal in North Korea, so maybe. /rant Any thoughts on this generous act of pseudo-benevolence? They give you something for free, they explicitely thank you for supporting their product and all you do is posting an unneccessary, elaborate rant here on TL. What the hell? Sure it's a marketing scheme, but it's a nice marketing scheme. And you're talking down on them like you're something better and you either deserve some really neat extras or they shouldn't bother you at all.
I was just hoping... HOPING to get something 'special' as blizzards sincere way of thanking the ppl who support them behind the scenes in the beta test and the rest of it, but instead I get their best-selling drug. Just a small sample, mind you.
That's the part I dont like about the whole thing, it seems like an insult to "thank" someone by getting them hooked on WoW. There are nicer ways, surely.

if i read correctly its 30 days, time to get hooked IMO
but if they send it to your friends at the same time and you all play its GG

Getting them hooked? on WoW, well if you get hooked or not is your own problem. They are simply giving you a token of their appreciation and you are whining about it. I really do not see the problem

When they gave you beta test for sc2 , do you blame them for getting you hooked on sc2 as well? Seriously man if you are hooked or not it's your own problem and your own decision.
What if they give you an upgraded Battle.net with Lan support and improved map pool and then you proceed to play SC2 24/7. It's their fault surely for ruining your work/life/study?

I played in the SC2 beta, havent recieved anything, but on the other hand, I already got WoW
|
My account is from SEA but i play on the US.
I got that merge a WOW account. Don't think i got that legit/fake promotion from blizzard :/
|
This same deal costs 9.95 in the store nearby. So I guess that's nice... I didn't get an e-mail, though. o.O
|
It's not for beta testers. It's for people who bought the game on release date. I received the email but never received an email for the beta test.

To play the revamped zones you only need vanilla, thats how wow works. you get access to all the zones from level 1-60 with vanilla, then you buy BC and unlocked the 60-70 zones, wotlk to unlock 70-80 and cata to unlock 80-85.
So the e-mail offering vanilla isn't totally stupid, blizz could do it if they wanted....
