Make a new thread under the Private Games Servers subforum (it is a subforum of the Games subforum).

I'm not a mod though, but it's one idea?

Usually people make threads in the Private Game Servers forum for stuff like this because only registered members can view it.

I've got 50 more SC2 HOTS beta keys to give out. Since it looks like lurkers snagged the last batch.

Any suggestions on how to get you all these codes? PM? Smoke Signal? I can post my cell phone number so you can all call me and I can read you each code character by character?

Let me know!

I'm F5ing so hard I think I broke something, and also I have to be up early so this is going to ruin Christmas for everyone.

This is why we can't have nice things, Tony!!!

MinionOfCthulhu: Oct 28, 2005; I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Sorry if I missed it, but is Xcom gonna go on sale?

doctor 7: Oct 10, 2003; In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

Was going to get in on this but apparently it's only available to US customers, which doesn't make sense to me because I just want the Steam keys.

I don't play starcraft so I don't even know what these keys are... presumably I need to own the base game to make any use of it, yes?

I don't think so, no. Normally you would, but it's for the beta.

edit: confirmed, you don't need the base game for the beta - http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/7157306

I don't think you need the first Star Craft II (Wings of Liberty) in order to play in the Beta.

Want me to give you a key so you can check?

Your dog is rad as heck, and the best way to go is probably a PGS thread as others have mentioned.

Disargeria: May 6, 2010; All Good Things are Wild and Free!

Yeah none of Blizzard's previous betas required the base game.

However I am willing to test if these keys work while having WoL installed. You know, for... science.

Heart of the Swarm is pretty rad so far, Blizzard is doing some nifty things.

They're also doing some dumb things but I try not to think about that.

I just realized I PMed 5 people keys without checking if they'd purchased PMs...god I'm a moron.

I heard back from two of you. If the others see this, could you respond and let me know.

I haven't heard back from AxeManiac either. Since not everyone here has PMs the first 45 people to email me at tonyvalcarcel@yahoo.com will get SC2 beta keys (thanks for the idea epistasis)

It won't let you send a PM to someone who can't receive it.
