Well in the video it shows January 22nd as the date and there are 60 people online.

On the other hand, that could be a fake screeny.

Its apparent that they are obviously playing at their houses, the blizzard employees.. Probably have been for over a year. They wouldnt be this far in the development stage (ie almost close to releasing beta) without testing it at home themselves.

i said it was coded as for "press" by that I mean it was misleading

Press are involved in the first way of invites. not FnF

I thought Friends and Family have been playing the beta for months now? That is unless I was misinformed. The fact they are still playing the beta shouldn't have much impact on the release of the closed beta.

Hmm...two significant web updates in the span of a week.

That's what they did at Blizzcon. By fake I mean a mock-up, sorry.

1) Develop and Present B.net 2.0
2) ????
3) Profit

They have been playing it internally, Beta would assume it has left the offices.
