Warcraft III beta: 4 months
Warcraft III TFT beta: 4 months
WoW beta: 5 months (8 months in North America)
WoW TBC beta: 2 months
WoW Wotlk beta: 4 months





Uhhh... WC3 beta lasted like an entire year...


Actually, it lasted 5 months.


The difference between SC and SC2 is not as big (both balance and mechanics wise). I'm hoping for a 4 month beta personally so they can get it out by December. I just noticed that on 8th May sims3 went gold (which means its being produced/distrubited) for its 2nd June release. So looks like they need to be ready by the end of November for a release anytime this year.

I had the same problem and checked bnet's forums. I don't think it will affect anyone's chances of getting the beta.

I can't imagine SC2 to be better than BW. I'm trying hard, but I just can't.

I wonder if having a beta key attached to your account already completely eliminates your chances of getting another entry through the opt-in.

They don't choose the computers with the best specs. They want a wide array of different specs so they find bugs and stress test the game on different types of hardware.

Blizzard probably have 50 high-tech computers just like yours. For a large company like Blizzard, it's much easier to aquire the latest hardware than it is to build PCs of 2 year old hardware.
