Starcraft II beta available on Battle.net

[Spht]

As of when I'm writing this post, you can log on with sc2 beta (no cdkey required).  It uses nls, product "SC2B"

Doubtful this will work for much longer, but enjoy while it lasts

Haven't looked too deeply into it, but 0x86 appears to take one dword and is something to do with automated channel management i think

Nice try. :p

[Dale]

aw. Fuck. Spht was the only one that got me today, actually.. lol

[brew]

Honestly, who would believe that to be a valid packet? It appears to consist of a dword of some random-ish value that's too low to be a tick count (195Ch), followed by a WORD (11h), the stringlist, and a few more binary values? If I recall correctly, it's a standard of blizzard's to put all numeric values before the strings. It would just make more sense that way. Not to mention how it's mixed binary-string-binary, and it makes use of 2 byte numeric values which have not been seen in recent battle.net packets. It's total bullshit.

minus 6 posts you would have fallen for it

You actually went as far as to analyze the fake packet he posted? The "Joining product-specifc channel diablo usa-1" message kind of gave it away.

psh. why would spht be the first one to post about it? i would expect either realityripple or hdx. and the discovery all-of-a-sudden happened on this kalends of april. all too fishy if you ask me..

[Barabajagal]

Uh... DUSA-1 is product specific... And he's there because it's apparently become a new fad among vL forum members to hang around my home channel... (HDX, Ringo, Spht, and UserLoser are all there).

[warz]

uh, diablo usa-1 used to be the place to hang around in long before you were here.

[Barabajagal]

Here, maybe, but I've been around for longer than you give me credit for... I used to be a DRU2 regular... Switched to DU1 in '02 or so...
