It's a key (similar to CD keys) that's required for one to download the beta client (unfinished game, so to speak). If you get a beta key (from BlizzCon, contest, being a staff members, whatever), you insert it at the approriate Blizzard site and then you're guided through the download process when the beta actually starts. Hope that helps. | ||

The beta is starting real soon, obviously! And all of Blizzard's betas have lasted 2-4 months, with the actual game coming out a few weeks after the end of the beta. | ||

I just didn't know that only people with blizzcon beta keys would get to sign up. Now before you guys put more words in my mouth, yes I do know there will probably be a sign up for the rest of us but this just lowers chances even more. It's like you guys are the first wave and why would they even need a second wave for a long time? I guess I had no real chance when I couldn't go to BlizzCon. | ||

Nah, strategies will most likely to change rapidly even after the beta-stage. Eventually others will catch up. Meanwhile waiting the game to be released I want to enjoy playing games that are already tested and complete.^^ But everyone can do as they like | ||

Here is the list of Blizzard betas with their duration: + Show Spoiler + StarCraft: January 1998-March 1998 (3 months) Diablo 2: April 2000-June 2000 (3 months) Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction: April 2001-June 2001 (3 months) WarCraft III Reign of Chaos: February 2002-June 2002 (5 months) WarCraft III Frozen Throne: February 2003-May 2003 (4 months) World of WarCraft: March 2004-November 2004 (9 months) World of WarCraft The Burning Crusade: October 2006-January 2007 (4 months) World of WarCraft Wrath of the Lich King: July 2008-November 2008 (5 months) Looking at the above, the average Blizzard beta lasts almost 4 months. However, considering the importance of StarCraft II`s development, I would not be suprised if the beta lasted 5 months or even longer. | ||

Anyway, everyone knows the beta will be announced on SCs 11th anniversary March 31st and will begin within a week or so after that announcement. This is the most optimistic you could possibly be. I agree that on the anniversary there will most likely be a beta annoucement. How long afterwards until the beta actually starts I would say probably a full month at least. To me it's gona depend on the timing of Battle Report 2. If they release BR2 before the anniversary (next week).. then they will be primed to make the full beta annoucement on the actual anniversary. If we have NOT seen the BR2 yet... then they will probably just release the BR on the anniversary and keep us in the dark about beta a little longer. Of course all speculation with no real backing, but I am watching for BR2 to give me a hint about what's really happening on March31st. Honestly I am still hoping they release BR2 on April 1st, which is a TvZ featuring an SCV rush where the Zerg taps out 4 minutes in. | ||

You mean like releasing a new version of Battle.net with the game? Bnetd already working made it easier for people to emulate Battle.net when WC3 was in beta. With a whole new architecture, it's going to take them a while to hack together a working Battle.net for SC2, even if the client is easily pirated. | ||

StarCraft wasn't leaked, WC2 wasn't leaked. Just because a beta tester gave a friend a copy doesn't mean it leaked. It has to be available to a large audience for it to be leaked. So your theory... 1 game, WC3. | ||
