I would like to say that the idea's you guys think about to prove a very stable experience are amazing. While it might have been done before, I've never heard of a beta having a mini-beta before the live beta to make sure the live beta doesn't totally crash.

A huge crash is generally the standard for the first 5 hours of a beta launch.

Tip of the hat to all involved in this hilariously clever idea.

reading this saddens me as im still waiting on code from gamestop

Freaking great. I guess I'll eat dinner early so I can play this non-stop for the "dress rehearsal".

PS - We know you're just wanting to give your fans an early treat, no need to hide it :P

Will these characters be wiped before beta?

No freaking edit button....

@Darkmod - They'll likely do what Europe did then, extend it until it's stable. Europe's is over 12 hours now, and it shouldn't have been remotely that long.

Woah this is some great news.

I'm almost positive these characters won't be wiped before Fridays beta start. I don't think they'll have any need to do so, besides, you won't really lose that much progression anyway!

Very Nice... Very nice indeed!

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Best company ever!! I'm taking off my blizz fan hat for enmass!
