On the official SC2 Site they said the editor would be included in the later beta. (Possibly) Do we have anyone on thehelper who has a key? I'd be really interested in hearing about it
When does the StarCraft II beta test start?
We don't have an exact start date to share at this time, but note that when it does begin, we will be adding additional regions to the beta test in phases. North America, Australia, and New Zealand will be the first regions to begin beta testing, and other regions will follow afterward in phases. We will have more information to share about all of these phases in the future.
The reason for setting up the beta in regional phases is that it takes time to set up and configure our testing infrastructure in each area. Bringing up one region at a time makes the overall testing process for StarCraft II and Battle.net more efficient from a development perspective, making the test more effective, and allowing us to complete the game more quickly than if we attempted to start the beta test in all regions at the same time. We will share more information about the start dates for the beta in different regions at a later date.
Yes, it is confirmed that the editor will be in the beta (Q&A 51) but they said it might not be included from the start, meaning an even longer delay then its allready going to be..On the official SC2 Site they said the editor would be included in the later beta. (Possibly)
I don't think its exclusive to us. I think it will come to the US first, but I though they said other people would get it too, later. I could be wrong, though. And anyways, I though it takes them a massive amount of work to make it for other places, thus the delay, or else they probably would.I'm pissed of by blizzard's beta policy. Why the hell is the beta US-exclusive AGAIN? European players are fucked, as always, though europe - especially germany - is known for having the largest market for RTS games world-wide.

Are you kidding? Look up Uberplayers post; they already said countrys like Australia and New Zealand (Well known for their gaming culture ._.) will have it ealier than the europeans. What the fuck? It cant be more difficult to set it up on europe than in australia 'I don't think its exclusive to us.

Who cares? With the BNet Servers set up anyways (SC and WC3 are still running here) it can't be much of a trouble for a company like Blizzard to set up a european beta. I dont care about localized versions; you are going to talk english anyways on european servers.Blizzard originated in the U.S., that's why.

If not: Why just let other countries' players sign up for the US beta? I cant see why this is a problem. I'm playing of US servers anyway on WC3.
Exclusive seems to imply they only get it -- As far as I understand you just said yourself that they still get it - just much later. I can understand being angered by that, though.Are you kidding?

Im just disappointed that europeans are still treated by software industry as third rate customers that get their release even after asia (Hi @ WoW).
Have you ever played a WC3 match or SC Game on Northrend? Everyone talks english there, since english is the international language. What do you expect? You think russians understand french and stuff? A localized version does not work like a babelfish. There are no country-specific servers on wc3 and starcraft and it never was a problem.Its also because different countries have different policies. Europe is not all English too. If they released an English version for Europe, not everyone would be able to play because it wouldn't support all languages in Europe. Also, there's probably no european version of StarCraft yet anyways.

Besides, Betas are always using english language. Everyone knows that. World of Warcraft european beta was english, too ... but was released MONTHS after the US beta release. I can understand this, however, since setting up all the servers and stuff was surely a giant amount of work - however; the BNET Servers in europe are already up, so this can't be an issue any more.
