"Die Beta Einladung"
Welcome to the beta test of Starcraft II!
We're excited to have reached the beta-testing stage for Starcraft II and our upgraded Battle.net service, and we'd be grateful to have you join us during the next few months of fine tuning.
Getting started:
Along with the beta of Starcraft II, we are rolling out our new Battle.net delivery system which will serve as the primary channel for downloading the game and its updates. In order to participate, you will need to use the Battle.net account associated with this email address.
In an effort to test our distribution system in a high load environment, we are giving a few days lead so that a large number of beta testers have the opportunity to read this email first. Our planned activation is Tuesday, March 31st at 6 PM PDT.
To see what time it is in your time zone, please check here:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclo...3&day=31&year=2009&hour=18&min=0&sec=0&p1=137
After that time, you will be able to login to your Battle.net account at
http://us.battle.net and download the "Battle.net Client (Beta)" which adds a host of new features to Battle.net including:
# A global friends list between all Blizzard games
# The ability to quickly join or observe your friends' games
# Detailed statistics and rankings for each game
# Track the global achievements of you and your friends
# And much, much more!
In addition, it will serve as the launch pad for Starcraft II and will automatically begin downloading your authenticated copy once you run it for the first time. Once the game is installed, you will be able to access the Battle.net Client from within the game or as a standalone desktop application.
Sending us feedback:
In the bottom left corner of the Battle.net Client (CTRL-SHIFT-B from within Starcraft II) there is a button called 'Feedback' which will bring up a place for you to report any bugs or suggestions. We also welcome feedback on the official Starcraft II forums at
http://forums.battle.net/board.html?forumId=12009&sid=3000
Please retain this email for your records. If you experience any technical issues getting started or while playing, please email support at
SC2Support@blizzard.com.
We look forward to seeing you online soon!
