It is possible you opted in when you made your battle.net account and forgot about it. Lucky you
haha, either people are bad or I am better than I remember. I kind of like the rocks and stuff on the map I played. Made me feel really safe from a rush so I could just tech and experiment a bit.
Man, I get excited every time I see a new email in my box only for it to be one from a classmate or professor. But if I don't get in, I've waited this long for the game already so I guess a couple more months won't kill me.
Enjoy the practice league while you're in it, no more novice maps after that if you are pursuing ladder play (at least I think so. I know I haven't seen any in my league).
Yeah playing on novice maps is probably not good for me since I'm going to forget the build orders vs opponents who can actually push a rush. I'm just playing very aggressively anyway, my only flaw will be remembering that 2nd gateway during a real match.
Against a good Zerg you're going to want to forgo that second gateway for a while.
You'll want some Zealots and especially Stalkers + Sentries ASAP, because 4-6 minutes in, the Roach fest is coming. You're going to need to fend it off for a minute or two until you can build Immortals to stem that tide. (Roaches are the current FoTM in beta).
After that feel free to punish with some Void Rays for a quick win
After playing for awhile... protoss carriers+mothership are entirely too fun. I'm liking that not many people are zerg these days, gives me time for the fun stuff, not having to worry about roach zerg i can go strait air.
Gah, I've been checking my mail daily hoping for an invite, but I was having no luck. Turns out I never completed the beta opt-in. fml. Oh well, hopefully I still have a chance! I guess I'll go play sc1 again and remember the good old days.
Found out the hard way overlords are not detectors any more. Also I am losing fairly consistently now. I don't like how the letters are totally not what I expect, taking some getting used to. Overall the game plays well though, my one real complaint is I feel like I can't see much at once. I wish I could zoom out further, like the resolution is just bad for how big my monitor is.
i applied to a german starcraft community site as an editor/news writer just to get beta access >.>
So far they seem to like my text sample and i got a job interview with them this week.

Looks like they finally have a server emulator going I guess they need to polish it up a bit first before release, as it still isn't available to us.

Can't link to main forums as the site is crashing from overload
edit: Seems its just single player (sandbox), no AI or multiplayer yet.
So what are the odds that this Monday we'll see more invites? Think Blizzard will increase the playerbase once a week?
Resolved my problem, Peerblock hates sc2.
lol. It was the patch that helped the developers find the crack actually. They didn't specify how exactly but my guess is the error messages bugfix is what led to it
BTW, Holy SHIT @ Immortals. I was testing their strength and 1 single immortal managed to destroy 3 photon cannons by itself wailing on it. Even my MOTHERSHIP couldn't do that O_O
