How to Opt-In for the Cataclysm Beta!

[Rusken]

one question tough: How do you know that you're picked for a Beta?

They send you an email saying you've been accepted into the Cataclysm Beta Testing Period.

This may be a silly question-

I'm on my work computer, which is a mac. I haven't ever/do not plan on play wow on this machine. If i download the mac opt-in will I be able to play the beta on my home pc if selected?

Thanks - i'm no good w/ the technical stuff!

It would surprise me, they don't like to have things cross-OS-compatible, I'd just play it safe, and download the Opt-In for the OS on the computer you play WoW on, wouldn't want to get a key for something you don't use to play the game and not be able to use it.
Although I think you may be able to swap them over if you contact Blizzard.

I tried this a few weeks ago, but was getting an error message about my internet connection. But yet my internet connection is fine.

Is anybody else receiving the same problem?

[Zogrim]

I somehow can't add my TBC, Classic and Diablo II (non-expansion) CD-Keys.

TBC/classic = already used (o.0?)
Diablo II = CD is not valid

any suggestions?

[Shroud]

just opted in either if i get it or not doesnt matter.

[MrPistachio]

Anyone has an idea when they respond

1 min?
1 hour?
1 day?
1 year?
1...0..years

To anyone caring...
I signed up for Starcraft 2 last Sunday (March 28) and got a beta invite in my email on Saturday (April 3)

I guess it really depends. I heard they have been sending out SC2 betas in 'waves,' so I guess it just depends if they found your computer specs in the beta-selection pool close to or far away from the next wave. Though the wave thing might not be true.

[Haailo]

Im running wow on a shit computer, so i might get picked just because of that ;D

Thanks for the guide, i probably missed the news of the opting in

[Barado Black]

Lol at someone still selling SC2 betas...too bad people still buy them. As soon as I signed up for beta Opt in i got in.

[Solus]

I thought I had only opted-in for the Cataclysm beta, but when i checked my battle.net account I had been picked for SCII beta

Just to clarify: no frozen accounts will be choosen right?

Does that mean if I reactivate it now, I'll still haVe a chance, or does this work like prt where it's already to late, cause they use old account data/statuses?

Nobody knows. We can only guess. Try it and hope.

would anybody be willing to ask on the official forum since I can't? Please
Ty in advance

[Thraz]

i didnt sign up for sc2 but got a beta inv on my battle.net? whats this all about

[Tech11]

I use one email for msn, friends school etc..
And another for websites & wow & everything else...
So i almost never check the email i use for my wow accounts.

If i get opted into the beta... and dont respond to the email for like. 2 weeks.

Will it still be there or does it like. become un-usuable after a week or x days?

o.O

[Needonboots]

I'd like to point out to people that as a Beta Tester, you are exactly that, a TESTER. Some of the comments in this thread seem to be people who don't even have a clue what a beta test is, and I'm willing to be a large number of people currently opted in won't bother to report bugs and give feedback and so forth, but merely want to play it so they can be "that guy".

[Norn]

when you say CLEAN do you mean no warning / bans or just bans.... might of gotten a warning for doing an anal joke about a year ago.

[BagOfChips]

Same here. Not really even interested in SC2 beta TBH =/

[Hartowag]

(also your account need to be "clean", aka never got any trouble)

So if ive been banned 72 hours because i spammed the chat with "i Feel the urge to [Dirge]" i wont get the beta?

[NathSB]

NooooO! Don't tell them! The last thing I need is more competition:<
