Starcraft II beta resuming soon?
« on: July 07, 2010, 02:43:08 pm »
According to this site, Starcraft II Beta should be resuming again soon. A new patch came out today. At the moment I am updating my copy of SCII beta:

The first phase of beta testing ended one month ago.

If the second one resumes, I guess that means back to SCII ;D

On an unrelated note, Blizzard really wants people to get addicted to WoW: If you participated to the Starcraft II Beta, you may have gotten an e-mail giving you a free copy of World of Warcraft including a free monthly subscription. O.O

I thought about giving it a try anyway, but when I saw 9.3 GB download remaining I simply closed the downloader. <_<

What, did they encode the whole world into it with a few AIs to boot?

Not sure. You can start playing when half of it is downloaded, apparently, but you may have performance issues. Also that's without any expansion set. O.O

And can you participate in the beta if you haven't done so before?

No, but if you own the game and have an account, there is a way to participate to beta-tests of new patches. You just run a different exe file.

I think there is always WoW Free Trial in every Blizzard games...(Diablo II, SC, SCII)....

Yeah, I got two with SC2, one from SC1 battle chest and I think another in WC3. However, it only contained a 10 days subscription, not the entire game.
