We saw somewhere that someone didn't want a puzzle, so we won't be doing that. We also saw that some folks wanted the open Beta, but since that's not out yet... that really only leaves us with one option:
I guess we're going to have to give out some Beta keys for Hearthstone!
Please stay tuned here, we've got a few things to wrap up and post on the page before we get this started. See you in just a bit!
Bah. I was hoping it wouldn't be something like this. Not gonna bother, I'll resume the wait for an opt-in key. Best of luck to those who attempt this. o:
Alright, let's get this party started here - Firstly, we have 1,000 keys to giveaway, and we'll be distributing those over the course of the month from today through Oct. 4th. Each day, we're going to announce when a small batch is made available, and the first group of folks who request the batch (through private message!!) will be given a key.
Now, we also have bigger batches that are going to be distributed when we hit our 'like' milestones, and the sweet news is we've already blown past the first one at 30K, so today we're going to knock out a big chunk.
Now, we understand that not everyone is on the same schedule and many of you who want the keys maybe can't view the page right now, so we'll be breaking up these announcements throughout different times throughout the coming days. For now though, we're going to get this started with a bang...
...so the first 100 ppl to privately message us right now, who have 'liked' the page will receive a key.
Good luck adventurers! Remember, this is just the first batch - we'll do another one later in the day
First 100 people to message them gets a key...wow...Blizzard really is like a kid teasing a starving dog with a bone isn't it. Stay classy.
Some people will be F5ing for a fucking entire month, leaves a kind of bitter taste in my mouth towards Blizzard to be honest. If any other company did this (EA for example) they would be getting panned right now.
Its kinda funny because are they counting the first 100 from the first post that was up for seconds, or from the second post. 100 keys huh, thats pretty lame.
So can anybody see a way for bots to not abuse the fuck out of this contest?? I mean im pretty noobish at programming but refreshing a page scanning for new messages and sending a pre written request for a beta key does not seem like an overwhelming challange and if that is the case then I dont see any of the 100 keys going to regular people.
At least you're not alone. There are plenty of us reading the forums while we wait lol
I'll just leave this here.

Lol what a joke, knew I shouldn't of gotten worked up over this.

It also means closed beta will continue until at least Oct 4th.

Woah major let down only 1k keys for 1 month? seriously
yeah dude, they had all 100 in 2 minutes. I know they're throwing a pack of starving dogs a bone but that doesn't mean I won't chase it.
i messaged within 20-30 secs hoping that was fast enough. Ill know soon i guess
