beta key give-a-way

[moosh]

If you guys tune into the starcraft 2 fan page on face book they are updating their status's with beta keys to let random people in.

Not to get everyone's hopes up but they were gone in less than 20 seconds.

That's probably one of the worst contest they could come up with. Think about the poor souls that will be staying at the computer all day, pressing F5 every seconds in the hope of being in time.

It's actually a pretty sneaky idea on Bliz's part. They did the same thing with the 500-key Twitter give-away. Its a great gimmick for creating traffic.

People are setting their browsers to auto reload every five seconds. I can't imagine how many hits this is generating for Bliz.

This is so frustrating! Damnit Blizz, you know how to piss on people and still make them follow you!

Imagine refreshing page and in that moment key appears, you grab it, put into account, it works! [Message: Game Added...] And in that instant your PC turns off...total mind breakout

Hey guys. I don't understand this... Both how you're to activate the key, but also this a little offrelated thing.

I logged on my Battle.Net account and I see the beta active as a game... Strange, since I haven't received any mails about getting one.

Well, looks like it's official. I received a goddamn beta key! Now to top my own record from my friend's account on the Copper League!

LOL! That was my initial reaction

However, when they were emailing them out most of our members were doing the same thing

It looks like they post a beta key once every 2 hours

Maybe that is their Mathematical Definition of "random time"

[Remember the meaning of soon]

Retarded from Blizzard. Random keys at random people?????? What about the people that opted in??? Or like me that Ive been playing SC1 and WC3 since ages ago, and have a powerful computer. They don't give a shit about the people that gets into the Beta???? So a noob with a PC with windows 3.11 can get his beta key???? What are they thinking?????
