The Gifts of StarCraft 2

Got one. It's not beta.

Recall the censorship thingy, boss? The edit tells that the gifts are not pointing to beta.

So, here's my take on it:

It's not beta.
It's not entirely not related to Sc2.
So when this thing gets done, it probably will lead to SC2 beta.

What is it?

I fear that we are over-hyping the conference call. Investors do not know or care what the beta status is, they just want to know when the product will be on the shelf.

I think the only info in that call that will be of any interest to us is what fiscal quarter the release is scheduled for. Which I hope is still 2nd quarter (June).

First you must be bloody genious. According to SaharaDrac, he is. He kind of manages LoA's Swiz acount at the same time as he speaks to us, soooo.

And yea I'll probably get shot for this.

Maybe not pointing to the beta itself, but maybe talking about the work that needs to be done before the beta can begin? A checklist of 1000 things? Server installations? And if they are working through the weekend, then it seems they are pretty intent on getting all of this moving. If I recall correctly, Caliban113 was offered as a clue. Doing a search I saw that at one point Caliban guessed beta by the end of January. </wishful thinking>

Edit: would JD say how long they were in crunch time if asked?

But yah if they say beta isnt ready yet then beta isnt ready yet. They do this occasionaly if a rumour gets way out of hand (as it did with spychi).

When did I say he lied? I'm just saying Kicho's response was a text-book Blizzard response and historically they give that reply up until ~99.9%

Kicho's reply doesn't disprove anything. And he was squelching rumors caused as a result of the Korean press stuff.

That's one fast ping.
