Beta Starcraft 2?

i believe i read somewhere that there will be computers set up at blizzcon where people can play the sc2 beta in multiplayer with eachother.

 

Ugh...Hate WoW with burning passion >< Ruined three of my friend's life and it's digusting. Hopefully, I won't be like that when I play SC2 either in beta or when it's released though I doubt it. But back to the original point, yes I agree with you. It's not fair to most that attends, considering that they want to go there because it's going to be a cool/kick-ass convention and be able to play games that isn't out yet. That is a pretty decent incentive for any gamers, noob or pro. Though in my opinion, considering that it is located in Los Angeles..which is being overrun by Koreans and Mexicans (yay! Azn pride!) I think there will be a good chance that decent players that knows what they are doing are attending..I knwo waaay too many asian friends that can kick my ass in SC ~roll eyes~ And they are willing to take any sacriface to attend it if possible ><

 

Of course its "fair".

 

I don't think they were doing blizzcons until pretty recently.

 

They should give players with active Starcraft accounts (Brood War and normal) some CD Keys to a Starcraft 2 demo.

 

Exactly my thoughts. I'd rather have one large explosion than two smaller ones, if you get my drift.

 

Thats millions of people willy

this is true. it started in 2005 i believe.

 

If it were fair, in a sense that everyone had an equal chance of being eligible to be part of the beta, they would still have to be unfair to keep the numbers reasonable by selecting randomly from the pool of "everyone." And then, a smaller proportion of those selected would even care enough to be helpful. By drawing their arbitrary lines, they select those that would most help them with feedback, and in hype (free advertising!)

 

Tried to Wiki Blizzcon. They just said the last one was in 2005 but I don't think that's when the first one was. They've been doing them for a decent amount of time. They are only semi-annual though, hence why the last one was in 2005.

 

Ditto here...This forum kicks ass. I havent seen such good admin participation in any other forum I have been in. I voted for this forum as a #1 Starcraft 2 dedicated site not because I belong to it, but because it really is. Thanks alot for all your hard work admins/moderators.

owerup:

 

actually now that you mention it I think they may have been a blizzcon 1997

 

BUMP

Hopefully we all can get a hold of the beta just to try it out... cant freain wait anymore :-[

 

Only a very limited number of people will get the beta, so don't get your hopes up just yet.
