oops, SC2 beta key unused

[Case]

Is there someone here who isn't sure whether to buy the game and wants to try SC2 before it launches on July 27th?
I still got one key left unused. Just post here... if there are more people who want it, I'll throw a die. If nobody wants it, meh. :lol: One condition would probably be that you have to play me a couple of times, hahaha. No biggie, I'm pretty bad.

Count me in for the roll of the die please!

I'm very tempted to buy the game but it's the most expensive game that's been released here so I may wait.

I would definitely use it.

Since I'm going to sleep now... and since it was only 2 contestants, I flipped a coin instead of rolling a die. Congrats, Aught. Seeing how the code is 4 months old (yes, shame on me) I hope it still works. ^^

What the heck is SC 2? Starcraft?

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo how could I miss out on this

Only 2 weeks left to play with that anyway.

I still don't know whether to buy it or not. It really is expensive. If I do buy it, I won't buy all 3 games... if I buy the first one and they add units in game 2 and 3 which require me to buy those if I want to stay on top of online leagues (kinda like how BW replaced SC online), I would rather not buy it and wait for... the umm... free version (pretty sure something like iccup will come up). I'd pay 50€ for a game (I bought most of my Blizzard games - WC, WC2, D1, D2, 3*SC+2*BW... had to buy BW twice because Blizzard blocked my first ORIGINAL key... for no reason) but not 150€ ($195). They got 11M WoW-subscribers, why rip off their SC fanbase? I don't want all these bullshit addons like connection with facebook and Real ID either. I like to choose whether or not to reveal my identity to people and not have Blizzard do that for me. They tried to make posting on Blizzard forums require Real ID - the outrage, with people cancelling their wow subs, forced them to abandon that adventure. Why is everyone messing with privacy these days?! Then there's the lack of chatrooms. Yes you can chat with your friends whom you have to add using a slightly stupid system and they have tried to implement a clever matchmaking procedure. The result of this is erratic placement (in my opinion) and that unless you know people's acc # or have otherwise added them to your flist, you can't play with that specific person. You can create custom games, but they don't count as ladder. SC2 will be region-locked, so you don't get to train against crazy strong Koreans anymore, unless you buy an Asian SC2-key, and even then - since the servers are based in Asia somewhere, you'll have the lag disadvantage. You're placed in a league (copper < bronze < silver < gold < platinum < diamond I think) and if you don't play, your rank within your division of that league drops. This is due to others advancing and having more points than you have. What this means is that if you don't play for 2 weeks (ranks drop rather quickly from what I've seen - yesterday I was gold #36, now I'm gold #70 out of 100) you'll be stomping several noobs before you're back where you belong. And so on and so forth...

Well, SC2 is fun, but I got my reservations.
