StarCraft II beta keys have been sent out.

Be careful, a lot of people got scamed. In order to be sure that you will not share that fate, just follow these simple steps:

- If you received an email saying that you have been invited to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, do not open any link in that e-mail

- Typing battle.net in your browser will take you to the secure site appropriate for your region

- Enter account Information

- Go to Manage My Games, choose Add or Upgrade a Game

- Enter the Beta Key you received in the e-mail

- Press Add Game

If you were able to add the game to your library, then you received a real beta invite.

If the email tells you to go someplace else for the beta key or the key provided did not work, then you received a phishing email.

Realy….I’m serious !

On the 10th of this month at a company earnings call, Activision Blizzard president Mike Morhaime announced that the beta for the highly-anticipated RTS game will begin this month.

The close beta will take place in North America, Europe, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, South Korea.

Morhaime said the beta would be accessible to thousands of players and will be used to gather feedback for the upcoming game and generate excitement, of course.

The first instalment, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is expected to launch in mid 2010.
