Just dropped this on the bnet forums... but I'm trying to share the wealth:
"It just occurred to us that tomorrow is going to be an awesome day for friends of BlizzardCS who are not already part of the Hearthstone Beta. If you know people who are interested, and are not already friends of the page, let them know so they can friend us to find out more!
Wouldn't surprise me to see some keys being handed out tbh. But we won't know what they have instore till they actually announce it so keep guessing till then I suppose. :)

Q. Do I need a Facebook account to enter this promotion?
A. No. While entering with a Facebook account will provide you with some additional benefits, such as the ability to share news of if you've won with your friends, you don't need an account to participate. If you'd like to enter, but don’t have a Facebook account (and don't want one), you can click on the "Alternate Method of Entry" link at the bottom of the official rules page. You can also find a link to it here.
now there's a twitter post about it. Either something amazing is going to happen or tomorrow is a huge troll and I will end the day with suicidal thoughts.
My issue wasn't the need for FB account. I just wish that there were more keys available through fansites where the interested community would have better access to keys.
Lets see what happens. The most suprising thing they could do is open beta. However I very much doubt thats what they are up to lol. Prob just another wave?

"Josh Tablak: Please, please, please do something more exciting than another marketing sweepstakes or more hoops to jump through like it has been. As someone who sat in twitch.tv streams hoping to win a key for days, and eventually "won" one, but it ended up being a fake scam, I'm really just about resigned to waiting until Open Beta/Release rather than bother getting my hopes up of trying to play the game once again. However, negativity aside, I look forward to seeing what you guys have in store tomorrow.
BlizzardCS: We think you'll be pleased Josh. Keep in mind that were we to have a magic wand that would just drop a key on everyone, we would definitely oblige. All the same, we think the news here will be well received"
So my guess is no open beta because they're still talking in terms of keys but we'll see.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I haven't read that FAQ because I usually avoid anything facebook related. I still hate that method though, for the same reason that Rokous stated.
I wish they would have just advertised it as a contest, with the option of signing up with FB credentials. I used FB a lot, but I hate contests spamming up my friends feeds on my behalf.
I wonder if they are implying an open beta weekend?
Ninja am i missing something or there is no "2nd method" this time ? The link you mentioned earlier is for the first sweepstakes that happened and finished on 3rd if i am not mistaken. I really don't want to get in to FB either so, just making sure.

Ya, doesn't look like there's another way this time, or rather, no details on one yet.
Just sucks that you wrote the last one off, and there really was a way for you to enter without a FB account.
After reading a few replies on the post, I get the feeling that this will be a "first come, first served" style giveaway. Seems like a strange thing for Blizz to do though...
Blizzard CS told us that no puzzles are incoming. however it seems to be something of the "first come, first serve" variety. get ready for much disappointment.

Oof. I hope not. I work most of the day so anything like that would probably exclude me. And if it was done in the evening hours, it'd be one hell of a mad scramble. :x
Would like to see some news of when we may see open beta.
EDIT: Just saw they said something about doing stuff at different times. Hmmm.

EU Beta today, and more to come tomorrow?
Thanks for the heads up. Excited to see whatever they have up their sleeves.
I feel like tomorrow's going to be either really good or filled with disappointment.
Yeah, I'm gearing up for some new fanart. :(
But here's hoping. It's obviously a tease so I hope it's good.

Now that I think about it, it's probably a new FB contest... the other one just ended.
Agree. I mean it makes all the sense in the world from a marketing stand point. But it feels like a slap in the face to the loyal community.
You two should have read the FAQ:

definitely not open beta. they've mentioned lots of posts and the need to react to them near immediately. I fear the worst, my brothers.

I'm thinking this is more HS puzzles.

They DID say that there would be multiple waves so there's that. I'm still worried about it though.
