It has definitely not been sent out to public yet. I'm sure media aren't in yet either as they would likely not have any pre-closed beta NDA. There MIGHT be Blizzard Friends & Family in at this point... so this could be legit.

Oh yeah, I'm thinking the FF beta might have already started, I was just specifying about the public.

We will be inviting F&F before we begin the closed beta, but we have not begun inviting yet. We'll let you know when we do.

So whatever has been leaked has been leaked from the inside. Friends and Family hasn't started yet... but they will be inviting them before they begin the closed beta. Note, this could be clever wordsmithing in that they'll send ALL their invites technically before the closed beta...even the first wave of public folks.

Calm down folks :)

Though it hasn't started, just so people know since it's getting glanced over by others who missed the posts, if you're selected to a Blizzard beta, your Battle.net account will have it flagged when you log into it to check. No emails. There's still keys, but they'll be "won" usually from website contests and such.

I'll ask my friend who has a cousin who works for Blizzard when it starts. I got into the F&F alpha for Cataclysm because of them.

It is?

The whole "done when it's done" thing is classic Blizzard material.

Haha, maybe.
They won't be home for another few hours because of work, but basically the two of them are brothers that i've raided with in WoW for a few years.

You do know that this bear no meaning at all?


So, as i understand it, is this friends and family invites? Is it similar to press invites?
But more important, does this mean that there's a playable client running now?

Touchy much? Customer service reps are people too. It sounds to me like the guy is trying to keep a sense of humor on what no doubt is a crazy day. I've had nothing but good experiences with Blizzard CS. I don't have a problem with them not talking like robots and I don't see any reasonable issues with what was said or how it was said. Relaaaaaaax man

same thing happened to me. i guess that while i wasn't playing my account was hacked and was involved in some gold laundering scam. blizzard has some of the best fans, but also some of the worst and fucking craziest. fucking busting into other peoples account to transfer fake money to a fake game character? kill me.

Logout timer? Hardcore is going to be even more fun now. You can't just instantly leave the game when you find yourself up shit creek.

That said, it wouldn't even matter if they had started the beta because I NEVER get into them. I've applied to every major beta for every MMO in the last 8 years or so and never once gotten an invite. I'll just have to watch live streams, read forums, watch Youtube.

What is the likelihood of actually getting into the beta when it starts? What are factors Blizzard looks for in choosing testers?

1) Slim to none, most likely a crazy amount of people signed up for a beta with very few planned participants.

2) PC-specs, a wide variety. Owning at least one blizzard game, random luck.

Huh? They added "OK?" to the end. It's not inherently rude and I'm actually impressed they spelled OK properly.
