First batch of beta users are already playing on battlenet, I have a friend who got into beta from his friend working at blizzard (I heard each employee gets 5 beta invitations).
I submitted my application at battlenet, all I can do now is wait for my luck to get picked for next batch, the chance is really slim lol.
you have to be a registered user at battle.net, and then you need to register the game you have bought, just used one of those many d1 or d2 keys to register lol. After you've registered the game you bought, you can apply for beta testing, but it's stated by applying doesn't mean you will get it, I guess they either hand pick or let a computer system pick beta testers randomly.
lol it wasn't my fault that you didn't read properly, concentrate! stop thinking of mich.
looking at the 'recommended system specifications' in your message, I doubt those are 'recommended' system specifications, more likely 'required' system specifications.
hey I have a chance of borrowing the beta. Do you have time to play with it for a week or two? I can let you borrow it first. Still pretty busy myself. lol i have to eventually give the key back
