Got angry reading this. They offer you something for free, and your response is that they are cheap. If you don't like it, just ignore it.

It looks like scam, I wouldn't believe it. Try to verify it by asking it on official starcraft 2 forums.

Let me get this straight. You try to distort what he says in an attempt to be funny, but totally failed.

They are offering you a drug for free but will charge you for subsequent purchases of the drug. If a cocaine dealer offered you cocaine for free, would you thank him?

For people thinking it's a scam. As long as you don't click any link in the email I can't see what could be potentially bad in there.

And you really shouldn't complain when getting something for free.

Let me get this straight. They are offering you 30 days of free WoW gameplay. And your first reaction is to spit in their hand and tell them you're no damn drugfiend?

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....

Did you even read what I wrote?

I got this too. should be legit though, my hotmail didn't go batshit crazy by saying its a scam website( i receive such scam mails on monthly basis). but 30 days of vanilla wow is like meh. played wow before so im pretty neutral on this, blizzard probably wants more people to play wow

About it being Vanilla-only, um... that doesn't make any difference. Unless you're going to level to 60 in 30 days (do-able, but you'd probably need to be either a) super nerd or b) experienced WoW player already, meaning you don't need a free trial anyway) then the expansion material is irrelevant becuase you won't be high enough level to experience it.

Also, complaining about free stuff is pretty stupid. If you don't like it, don't use it... obviously

Anyone within the gaming community that legitimately thinks WoW is some kind of addictive drug is a fucking idiot so one has to either assume that, or the use of ridiculous hyperbole which shouldn't be taken seriously anyway.

That's interesting, could you tell me what the email said? Because the email the beta testers got says the screen name you used for the beta test, and specifically says it's for being an early supporter of the SC2 community.

While it kind of looks legit, I'm still suspicious.
Why would it be sent from newsletter address? That's weird.
IP address looks legit. Either it's a very very very good scam or it's legit.
What I find weird tho, is people reporting that they get 7-day trial not 30 day one. Meh.
