I feel like they are properly using PST vs PDT, as the post was made at 11:11PDT and they said that the battle.net maintenance would start around 11PST, so it would be weird for them to say maintenance will be starting after it has already started.

Now im really confused lol. It was almost two hours ago that they posted it..... and its now approaching 1pm PST. Therefore if they posted it at 11:11 PDT and its now 1:55pm PDT...... that should be 3 hours.

Me thinks that it should say PST on the timestamp on blizz forums and not PDT?

Edit.... maybe the blue tracker on WoR is slow or something....

The real question is: When will our keys work!

[omergurlek]

I'd advise you checking battle.net already. I think it's up

(I can't test myself if the keys work yet as I'm waiting for the next batch )

Ever seen a map of the timezones in the US? You would think they would just be straightlines down the map right? WRONG!!!!!! They follow state borders as to not make you change timezones while moving say west part to east part of Montana

We are de-railing the thread again!!!!! Beta!!!!! Beta!!!!

Blizz's 2 hours are up and my key doesnt work... boo!!!

Timezones are fun! When I fly to Chicago (from Michigan where I live) my flight always arrives within minutes of take off! It's quite funny actually.

just a thought, but aren't all blizzard game keys 26 chars, the beta keys are 25, the issue in the sites design could simply be the fact that it's looking for a 26 char key sequence. just for testing, i tried adding an extra number ot my beta key and instad of saying it was not a game code, it just said it was a game code but not a valid one...sometimes the simpliest things can be the cause of great bugs. i say blizz techs simply check that the database is allowing for keys that aren't 26 chars.

THIS! Just tried this myself

Surprise! Blizzard didn't copy & paste all of our keys correctly and forgot the final #

Final? Could be leading....or any other in between

Nah tried that. I think its more likely the new site doesnt recognise the 25 digit codes.

Nah, try adding 2 digits and it says that key is incomplete, so they might have keys longer than 27 chars;P

Well I tried appending 0-9 to the end of my key, as well as to the beginning, and all 20 keys showed a "cannot be claimed" error as opposed to the 25 char error - but yea - email blizzard quick!!

Same. Really does just look like bnet isn't set to recognise the codes. Surely that would be simple to fix?

I don't suppose any mods knows of any updates from Blizz on this?
