    Hi guys, im new to the forums.
    Just got starcraft 2 beta, its pretty sweet.
    I was wondering, if i pre-order the game from gamestop,
    1) Will i get a beta key and be able to play online, and
    2) Will i get a free key so me and my friend can play together?

    Wait, You got the starcraft 2 Beta without a Key? Or you got a Key then downloaded the Beta? Yes If you pre-order it from gamestop they will supply you with a Beta key.

    I know that they give you a Beta key for you but I'm not sure if they supply you with an extra one. I'm not 100% sure so I can't say.

    I also believe you need to reinstall the client from battle.net..
    If you get beta key that is.

    I can't promise anything but since installing my beta version around the end of March I've gotten 3 extra beta keys from Blizzard as part of their "invite a friend" program to bring more players in and test friend features.

    But I don't know know if they will continue doing that every few weeks, and I don't know if it is different for people who got a key though a pre-order (I've played Blizzard games for a long time now and got mine through signing up to test their betas several years ago).
     
  9. Say here, i've made a few friends very happy with the surprise beta keys

    yeah i hope they give me at least 1 key cuz my friend reeeeaaallly wants one.
    also, i have another question (for people who have played the beta)
    once me and my friend BOTH get the beta, can we play in a room together? like can we be on a team? or has a "friends" system not been set up yet..?

    Guys, this is getting a little out of hand with the duplicate threads. Please search the forums before posting a new thread. Just because you have a question regarding the beta doesn't mean you have to go with a whole new thread.

    Agreed with the above. Just pick an existing topic from someone you think will give you a good answer and ask your qiestion there.
