We are still in the process of configuring EU servers for phase two of the StarCraft II beta. While we do not have an estimate for when phase two will be available for EU, we will provide an update tomorrow morning by 11:00 AM PDT.

The main reason for the delay of the non-US versions are the different timezones.
Despite our efforts in genetic engineering we're still unable to provide you with enhanced versions of our Developers capable of working for 24 hours a day :P

You are right, US Beta was launched before the European one. But our US players experienced several issues with that version and we chose to fix those issues before launching Phase Two in other regions.
The main problems were fixed yesterday evening (EU time) and therefore we're now working on the non-EU versions.
After release we'll try to minimize these kind of differences between US and non-US versions, given the fact that the timezone issue will still be there and there will always be a minimum delay, just like we're doing with WoW patches and so on.

I can assure you that we're doing our best to bring you back into Beta as soon as possible, please bear with us :)

Q u o t e:
now hang tight people becouse we're in for a bumpy ride!

---

How about a nice and smooth sailing toward release? Deal?

---

Q u o t e:


The Raptor fences aren't out are they?

---

We're safe as long as they don't learn opening doors I guess. Or going 6-pool Raptors into T-rex builds.

---

Q u o t e:
I sorry for my lousy english.
In European region will prolong the duration of the beta testing?

---

That's not in our current plans.

Just a quick update on beta for you. We are still in the process of applying the patch to European servers and anticipate that beta phase two will be available late tonight (by the end of the day US time). We'll provide another update if anything changes. :)

Q u o t e:
it's already 4min too late ^^

---

Sorry! ;)

When I think I'm being clear enough and still there is confusion. So, lets see if this is a bit clearer:

End of the day PDT (don't believe any team working on StarCraft II has a "We clock out at set time" policy at the moment)
During this night CET (So, if you value your sleep, if all goes as planned you can wake up to play StarCraft - if you are a night owl, you might be able to enjoy the game a bit earlier, but it could very well get quite late)

Happy to do so any time we can. Hope to see you on the Battle.net servers very soon! :)

Beta phase two is now available for European servers. Welcome back to beta, and we'll see you on Battle.net!

We apologize for the login problems. This was indeed affecting both StarCraft II beta and World of Warcraft. The issue should now be resolved and you should be able to log in and play.
