Odds are you don't have a StarCraft II beta code. You want one, whether or not you know it or not, you just don't have one. Luckily, you likely have a friend that has one. He's been talking about how cool it is, telling you about Zerg and Protoss (and the hilarity that ensues when they meet), and promised that if he ever got another code, he'd totally give it to you. He's made this same promise to dozens of guys, though, and now he has to choose. Yesterday, Blizzard doubled the amount of people with beta codes by providing everyone who already has one with another. In other words, start begging your friends, it's time to call in favors.

Here's the text of the email, if you really want to read it. Odds are the coming months will be full of chances to earn StarCraft II beta codes, so be sure to keep checking back to find out more. Oh, and by the way, the beta? Awesome! The Zerg and Protoss? Hilarity that ensues when they meet! Wait until the Terran get involved! Pure craziness. If I get another code I'll totally hook you up. Totally.

Congratulations! This is an additional invitation to the beta test for Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft® II: Wings of Liberty™ for you to share with a friend! You are receiving this email because you are currently participating in the StarCraft II beta test, and we want to encourage you to test out some of the social features of the revamped Battle.net® online-gaming service by inviting one of your friends to play with you. This email contains your additional beta key for you to send to a friend, along with instructions to help your friend get started.

This key can only be used once to upgrade a Battle.net account to participate in the beta test, and while we encourage you to share this key with someone you know, it must not be traded or sold.

Once your friend has joined the beta test, be sure to add him or her as a Real ID friend by opening your friends list in the bottom-right corner of the Battle.net interface and selecting Add Friend. Enter your friend's Battle.net email address in the Real ID Friend field that pops up, and then send your request. Once your friend accepts the request, you’ll be able to communicate more easily, quickly join parties together for some team-based 2v2 games, and more.

So what are you waiting for? Send this beta test invitation below to your lucky friend and start playing some exciting team games!
