I know it ends on June 7th which is tomorrow... but does anyone know what EXACT time? 12:00 AM?
I think it ends at midnight between June 7-8.
I totally forgot. I have just been playing custom games for a long time, should play one last melee game.
I'm gonna miss the beta, but it gives me a month and a half to practice with the map editor in the meantime. I'm a bit disappointed the old units aren't in it, but I guess that's being saved for the release version of the editor.
Aren't they re-releasing beta before the game is officially released?
If that is the case, then it may not be too long of a wait until beta is back up and running. I mean with a July 27th release (or whenever it is), it's most likely no longer than a month away before they start running it again. And I wouldn't be surprised if they just make it an open beta to get even more future customers interested in the game.
This is only the end of the first phase of beta.
The second phase will be up and running within 2-3 weeks.
I'm hoping their still running on PST. Extra 3 hours for me <3
within 2-3 weeks or 2-3 before the retail?Quote:

Correct me if I am wrong about phase 2's purpose.Quote:

So that will mean that the 2nd phase in beta will start in a few weeks. Also, they have said something about possibly having a special release thing like they do every new expansion for WoW. Does not mean they will but they said they were thinking about it. Wonder what it could be if they do it.
Just to get what Nethaera posted on the B.net forum right.

We previously announced that the first phase of the StarCraft II beta test would be coming to a close in all regions on Monday, May 31. In order to prepare for the final phase of beta testing, we plan to extend the current phase in all regions until Monday, June 7. After this date, the beta test will be unavailable for several weeks while we make some hardware and software configuration changes for the final phase of the beta test and the release of the game. We plan to bring the beta test back online for a couple of weeks prior to the game’s launch to complete our testing. We’ll have more details to share about when this final phase will begin at a later date.
We’d like to thank all of our beta-test participants for your enthusiasm, dedication, and valuable feedback during the beta test, and we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the StarCraft II beta test as the game’s July 27 launch approaches.
It's an educated guess but it's a damn good one because it not then then it'll come at a time when they might as well just not even have the beta again. I mean, what's two weeks gonna do? Just release the game :DQuote:

FYI, I'll put up Legacy Observer today as much as I can. Here's to hoping, right?
my guess is 23 days 14 hours from now
Good idea gifted.
I'll be too busy playing, or I'd watch.
Also, didn't I hear somewhere that Blizzard would be redoing the sounds? Or am I just getting hopeful?
