With the relaunch of the Battle.net website, Blizzard has also started giving out Starcraft II Beta invites randomly to Battle.net account holders. It’s free to join Battle.net so go open an account and hopefully, you might win an invite.
With the re-launch of Battle.net, Blizzard have also started the StarCraft II Beta invite program. Randomly selected account holders of a Battle.net account will get an invitation to join the anticipated Beta.
Shortly after the new version of Battle.net, (called Battle.net 2.0 by the fans) was launched, fans could create accounts, log on and add games to the account for free download whenever they need it. Some features are not working perfectly for all regions, but the site is live, and some fans reported getting invitations to the StarCraft II closed beta, which has not yet been given a release date.
Let me remind StarCraft fans that this is a Beta invite, and looks different than the Wrath of the Lich King Beta application Blizzard used last year. The person who got this message is invited to the beta. This is how Blizzard have picked out beta testers in the past. We’ll see if this is just some remnant of that system, or if we’ll see more of the “new” opt-in system from WotLK.
UPDATE!
Seems like everyone who registers a Battle.net account is automatically entered in to the beta opt-in for StarCraft II Beta. Only random selected members actually get invited though. Regardless, it’s a good idea to check your preferences to make sure you are!
