We%uFFFDd like to let all of our StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test participants know that the first phase of the beta test will be coming to an end in all regions on Monday, May 31. The beta test will be unavailable for several weeks while we make some hardware and software configuration changes in preparation for the final phase of the beta test and the release of the game. We plan to bring the beta test back online for a couple of weeks prior to the game%uFFFDs launch to complete our testing. We%uFFFDll have more details to share about when this final beta-testing phase will begin at a later date.

We%uFFFDd like to thank all of our beta-test participants for your enthusiasm, dedication, and valuable feedback during the beta test, and we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the StarCraft II beta test as the game%uFFFDs July 27 launch approaches.

We previously announced that the first phase of the StarCraft II beta test would be coming to a close in all regions on Monday, May 31. In order to prepare for the final phase of beta testing, we plan to extend the current phase in all regions until Monday, June 7. After this date, the beta test will be unavailable for several weeks while we make some hardware and software configuration changes for the final phase of the beta test and the release of the game. We plan to bring the beta test back online for a couple of weeks prior to the game%u2019s launch to complete our testing. We%u2019ll have more details to share about when this final phase will begin at a later date.

Can't wait for the game to be released though. It'll be interesting for the beta testers to see the new changes =)

Damnit, so what am I supposed to do for a month (and more)!

At least keep the game running for us to play until it's launched.

FatalException Post #10

Has Blizzard said anything about what exactly the beta ending entails? Are they going to require us to erase everything? Is it just the online game servers shutting down? Will we still be able to make and test maps?

None.

No, but given what was said in the first post, it's pretty obvious:
- All battle.net accounts will be wiped
- If presently you can test custom maps offline, this functionality will still be available because it has nothing to do with battle.net
- When the servers come back up, there will likely be a patch to download

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

[2026-6-22. : 8:35 pm]

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

[2026-6-21. : 11:38 pm]

Symmetry -- :wob:

[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
