You can apply for the beta? Where?
if you register your D2 etc on the website iirc.
I'm not sure what your point is...
Regardless of their age and placement, you've still lost the keys that prove ownership of them. Blizzard didn't sneak into your house in the middle of the night and hide them.
But despite it being completely your own doing, you're still trying to point the finger at Blizzard and blame them. Seriously?
Why? Is it somehow not there fault for using such a stupid system to determine whether you are elligable for D3 beta? I hardly think I'm going to be alone in that my cd keys or simply the games will have been lost or broken and they've done practically nothing since apart from WoW.
I just created a Battle.net account and you *must* have a full, registered game tied to that account to get into beta.
Again, you do a full product via battlenet is needed
You don't need a D2 key to be in the D3 beta?
I've just signed up now and the only game linked to my B-Net account is SC2.
I too have D2+LOD keys somewhere in the house, but as I've not played D2 for years I'm not too bothered, as said above your talking about a game realease 10years ago where game keys were the only real way of copyright protection.
Edit-Yup as above you do need a game linked, but doesn't have to be D2 ETC

It's not remotely a stupid system at all.
It's only stupid because you lost your keys, not because of something they've done. They're prioritising their fans over just randomly giving keys away as it's going to be a limited beta. What do you think they should do? Give beta keys to people buying brand cheese in Sainsbury's or something?Not everyone will have been as careless with their old games, they've got plenty of fans that still play W3, D2, SC1 and so on today. Not to mention SC2 has been massive since it was released. Why would they not reward people that still play their titles?
Why does it remotely matter how many games they've released since WoW?

How does playing WoW make them a 'loyal customer' in any way, shape or form? This is just an arbitrary system. If you had 3 or 4 games added then you'd be a loyal customer, having only WoW is meaningless.
They've released ONE game in almost 10 years that wasn't WoW related. That is a gigantic gap both for new gamers and for older gamers to simply move on from the old games they bought. If you had no interest in an MMO your only other option was an RTS game, its not like they've released things similar to Diablo or a variety of games that would make you a loyal customer.

Should look after your belongings a bit better.

What would you have them do? Beta keys to anyone who sits and spams F5 on some random gaming site? A scavenger hunt? Perhaps award them to some elaborate crystal maze challenge winner?
Regardless of how you view them, their wow players are still their customers, as are StarCraft 2 players. Bitch and whine about it all you like, they want to give their keys people that buy their games, and that's what they're doing.
This.
Oh I'm sorry I thought you had to sign up for it and they selected people? Where exactly would spamming F5 help with that? Given that you needed to submit specs I expect they would be looking at that more than anything. Or did I get it all wrong and they are simply going to pick the ones who spent the most on WoW? Having at least 1 Blizzard game is completely arbitrary.
Shami stfu. I haven't bothered with discs for a while, especially the ones that my brother kept hold of. He may even still have them, albeit in very bad condition.
I played Guild Wars, does that make me loyal to ArenaNet? The answer you are looking for there is 'no'.

makes you more loyal than someone who didn't.
I can't understand how you're failing to understand this simple concept.

Are you really that sour that you've lost your keys?
They're still picking people based on hardware... from a pool of people that have submitted themselves to battle.net, which will still be a pool of millions of "people that have at least one Blizzard game". It's so simple it's painful.
I still don't hear any better solution from you.
Who says anything about having to be super hardcore loyal? They're offering it to anyone that's bought one of their games.

I had to make it more obvious? Its exactly the same but without the arbitrary pre-requisite.
This is getting tedious. Apparently you aren't allowed an opinion in this thread if it contradicts what 'the mob' thinks
