The ability to opt-in from your battle.net account + Show Spoiler +
http://us.battle.net/
is now gone and has been for the past few days, basically the application process is now done and the beta is really close to starting. With invites already being sent out to a select few people this only compounds this only shows just how close to the beta we are. However a little while back Karune mentioned the beta starting in summer but that could be taken a lot of different ways, like for me I consider it to be summer already as its really hot out so who knows, we could end up seeing mass invites go out in 1-2 weeks or possible late June to the official start of summer.

So in other words start checking your email daily.

I hope I get in. I've never got into a Blizzard beta for the 11 years I've been a fan. Would be a real treat to beta test the sequel to the best game ever.

I really do too. I sumbitted a great application to the SCL thing on April 1st so I should get in there (if they reward actual achievements not just random bullshit) and I was also on Blizz friends lists for past games, got into the past 3 beta testing from that, along with the opt-in.. But I think im gonna try writing a guide for TL tonight to increase my chances, I really want this (life sucks right now, need some happiness)

I hate Blizzard for doing this to me. Since Christmas when I graduated, I've just been sitting around, working weird jobs, traveling, vacationing, and playing Brood War. Starting June 22, I have a new full time job, and I'm absolutely positive that the Beta is going to be released immediately thereafter. So for the last 6 months, I've been waiting anxiously for SC2, and I've had tons of time I could be playing it. New job=no time.

Please don't do this to me...

If I don't get into the SC2 beta, my life will be so absent of meaning that I'll just fly to Italy and become a Venetian gondolier. Well no, I'd probably just mope for a while and then get back to my life of iCCup incessantly pestering anyone I know who got into SC2 beta.

Exact same here. I actually wished they'd ask us to write a paragraph or something telling them why we think we should deserve it because of that.

I got an e-mail confirmation right when I entered my key, but other than that I've gotten nothing.

For all you unfortunate enough to not notice the beta opt-in option (where were you?) or were too lazy to take the time to do it, the beta-opt in option does still exist. Under acct management just add beta-profile.xml to the end of the url and you can complete the beta opt-in option. If the OP is right it may be too late, but at least it gives hope to some people. Then they can blame blizzard for not getting a key instead of their laziness XD

It was part of the old stuff from last week about the press emails stating a june 19 deadline. I think I read somewhere that they were demoing single player or something but I don't remember where. Hopefully we'll here something about beta regardless though.

The answer is not that simple. No date was provided to the press, but it is exciting to know it is gonna frag everyone any second after June 19th. It is interesting how the news got leaked today, which marks the last day of school classes throughout United States. Something fans should know is that, around last month, the media was invited to visit Blizzard Headquarters this June 22nd.

Well the way I interpret that quote is as if you know something that "you" in that quote which I interpret as "everybody else but you" don't know. But thanks for the answer.

get them drunk and stick them on irc

I actually have some faith in this rumor. Unlike the 11 year anniversary of starcraft's release date rumor, this one actually carries some sort of substance. Blizzard requesting the Bnet accounts of the beta key winners to be sent to them on friday and now a press conference??

We can only wait and see. Does anyone know what time this conference is supposed to be?

That was the most prominent piece of evidence There's just no denying the change in logos!

But honestly-- I give beta a 10% chance. If that.

First of all- what the hell is voodoo extreme? and why is it under ign?


http://au.games.ign.com/articles/393/393578p1.html
US, April 15, 2003 - IGN Entertainment (Nasdaq:IGNX) -- home to IGN.com, the web's largest information and entertainment destination for video gamers -- today announced that it has acquired VE3D, a preeminent online site for up-to-the minute gaming news.
IGN's acquisition of the VE3D web site from BA Ventures, LLC, enhances IGN's reach among hardcore fans of PC games. VE3D (www.ve3d.com) is particularly known for its in-depth coverage of action and strategy PC games, which complements the in-depth coverage of massively multiplayer online role-playing PC games (MMORPGs) provided by IGN's Vault Network.

"We're extremely excited about this addition to our network of gaming and entertainment sites," said Peer Schneider, IGN's Network Director. "VE3D offers quality content and is well known and highly respected in the gaming community. Not only are we expanding our audience, but we are also strengthening the depth of our gaming coverage."

"IGN truly understands the gaming enthusiast and is a good fit for our VE3D audience," said Rob Anderson, Director of Business Development for BA Ventures, LLC. "Our loyal fans will continue to receive the web's best gaming news from the VE3D site while gaining access to a huge breadth of video game and entertainment content from the rest of the IGN network."

Hopefully if the beta does start soon, they let people who were pre-selected (via blizzcon or fansite/journalism or lucky opt-in people) download it before the beta is fully ready so that their servers don't get slammed all at once

That would be really nice, but if you've ever played wow you'd know that Blizzard is awful at this kind of thing.

"regularly scheduled maintenance" on Tuesdays for the wow servers gets extended "unexpectedly" almost every single week, and every patch release is a nightmare.

Doubt it also, considering the info about it was "leaked."

Anyway, expect info to start trickling in 2 hours from now or so, maybe.

Atleast they DO something with their games, even if it is notoriously slow at times, take the good with the bad I suppose.

Nah, I'm pretty sure its a press conference, but a private one. Hopefully they can talk about whatever is announced there soon, assuming the conference.

Why would Blizzard need a press conference to announce a beta?
It's not something they've done before afaik?

We should take the discussion to that thread, although it doesn't look like there'll be a beta announcement today.
